Lady Gaga is on a breathless pursuit, with "Disease" hot on her heels. Unveiling the thrilling preview of her lead single "Disease" from the eagerly anticipated LG7 on Instagram on October 22, the 38-year-old pop icon captioned the clip enigmatically: "DISEASE 10.25." The video paints a mesmerizing picture, showcasing Gaga, with raven locks, sprinting frantically in a pristine white gown, pursued by a relentless vehicle through the serene landscapes of suburbia. The audience is enthralled, as if perched within the chaser's car, experiencing the thrill of the hunt for the "Applause" diva.
A haunting prelude to the track echoes through the clip—a haunting melody of ominous piano notes intertwined with percussive beats, setting the stage for an unforgettable auditory experience. "Disease" promises to be the maiden offering from Gaga's highly touted seventh studio album, a milestone eagerly awaited by her legion of fans.
Just last month, the 13-time Grammy Award winner graced us with "Harlequin," a companion piece to Joker: Folie à Deux, affectionately designated by Gaga as "LG 6.5." This album, a tapestry of covers woven with two original gems – "Happy Mistake" and "Folie à Deux" – was a labor of love crafted alongside her fiancé, Michael Polansky, who donned the co-executive producer's hat and collaborated with Gaga on four tracks, including "Good Morning," "Get Happy," "Oh, When the Saints," and "If My Friends Could See Me Now." Debuting at an impressive No. 20 on the Billboard 200, "Harlequin" also marked Gaga's triumphant third album to soar to the top of the Billboard jazz charts.
A day prior to the "Disease" teaser, Gaga teased her followers with a poignant Instagram post, showcasing herself in the same ethereal white dress, but this time, leaning heavily over a car hood, as if the force of her pursuer had left its mark. Her message was clear: "Disease" was即将在10月25日震撼来袭.
Earlier this month, Gaga kept the buzz alive by sharing an update with BuzzFeed Canada, confirming the impending arrival of her album in early 2025, preceded by a new single in October. In a heartfelt interview with Vogue, Gaga credited Polansky as the instigator behind her forthcoming pop venture. "Michael is the one who urged me to embark on a new pop journey," she confessed, her voice laced with affection. "He said, 'Babe, I love you. It's time for you to make pop music again.'" Polansky, too, chimed in, revealing his unwavering support: "Just like anyone would for the love of their life, I pushed her to embrace the joy of creating. On the Chromatica tour, I witnessed a fire within her that I longed to keep alive. So, we started making music that brought her unbridled happiness."
