Big post about Collaborators possibilities (let's check who's is involved when we'll get the album):

 

- BURNS (From April 2023 he teased some recording sessions at Nightbird Studio in West Hollywood. Some pictures with Electric guitars, Steinway piano and some electronic devices); Burns also liked some comments on Instagram saying he is involved on Gaga's new album. Gaga was seen going to a restaurant in the same street as Nightbird Studio in June 2023, BURNS was working there the same day. 

- Tom Norris, mixer who worked on Chromatica was there during the Nightbird studio sessions in May 2023. 

- A safe source on ATRL said Gaga had some studio sessions planned with Jeff Bhasker in June / July 2023.

- Andrew Watt : he met with Gaga working on the RS collab early 2023. He started following Gaga, BURNS and Bobby on June 8th. The same day Bobby and BURNS started following him back. Andrew also posted an Instagram story on Dec.18th at Shangri-La Studio, working in the same room as Gaga on her January posts. >>> 100% confirmed now.

- RedOne : He was back in the US (after +2 years abroad) on September 13th (seen on his manager Instagram story in a restaurant in Malibu). He stayed there for a couple of months. In November he likes Gaga's picture from the studio, with black hearts. In January 2024 she's seen in Malibu wearing a shirt of the brand 'Re/done', teasing something ? RedOne and hois wife recently reposted some LG5 studio sessions pictures. And Zombified is highly rumoured to be a rework of Frankensteined (confirmed on original LG5 album)

- Will.i.am : He's seen leaving a restaurant with Gaga, holding a folder, in November 2023.

- Cirkut : Started following Gaga on November 27th. RedOne starts following him on the same day (Cirkut was already following him for long but not RedOne following back). He's a regular Andrew Watt collaborators on recent works >>>> 100% confirmed now

- Jorge Elbrecht : He liked the two Gaga studio pictures from January 2024 and commented. She used some of his devices in the studio (a microphone with his name on a tag).

- Gesaffestein : Was seen at a diner with Gaga in West Hollywood in late January 2024. 

- Sax player James King and other musicians : Posted a picture from the studio with Gaga (then deleted after Gaga's team asked to), they confirmed they spent days in the studio 'adding fire' to her record. They confirms Andrew Watts called them in the studio. 

- Woodkid : He posted on his story the same devil emoji than Gaga after she said LG7 in her vault protected by devil. This story comes after two Lady Gaga posts from her work with him on Dom Perignon campaign. He removes his story fast after it's talked about on social medias (asked removing it ?). 

Rumoured duets :

- The Weeknd : After Abel posted a Prince picture one one of his story. The same day Gaga commented on a post fan saying 'Sexy never left' a reference of Prince shading Justin Timberlake for Sexy Back. A reddit user also teased that Gaga and Abel spent the whole weekend in the studio together. 

- Madonna : The rumour started when her manager Guy Oseary started following Rick Rubin when Madonna was on tour in Los Angeles. Rick Rubin is owning Shangri Strudio where Gaga was currently recording LG7. The rumour went bigger when Andrew Watt and Guy Oseary started following each other and Andrew also followed Madonna and her producer William Orbit around the same time. 

- Chappell Roan : Some sources on ATRL said she has a collab ready with Gaga (probably on her own music ?)

- Other possible collabs : 

- Wet Leg (Uk rock band), Gaga started following them while being in London reheasring for CBT in the UK, summer 2022. 

- Peggy Gou (Korean DJ) was confirmed by her regular producer / collaborator working on a song with Lady Gaga, summer 2023.

- Simone Simons from Metal / rock band Epica started following her on Instagram in January 2024. 

- Dan Nigro commented one of her studio pic and followed her. 

- Caroline Polachek : followed both Gaga and Andrew Watt in March 2023. Andrew Watt followed back. She liked and commented some studio pics of Gaga.

-Goldfrapp also liked a lot of her studio pictures and comments saying she's involved. 

-Rick Rubin who owns Shangri-La studio.

- Lady Startlight who teased being involved in new stuff with Lady Gaga.

[SHALLOW 15,730]

We can't move on already. The song's too good. She needed to do at least a live performance or talk show appearance imo but i don't see it happening now

She could still do those things. Maybe not right now since we're close to Christmas & the holidays, but she could do something in January—maybe packaged with the 2nd single.

But, we did get a live performance though...Two, in fact.

Hearing her describe the intro of LG7 and then the mood/vibe changes, the different types of sounds on the album, the different inspirations, *dreamy*, I simply cannot wait any longer for this album 

I do think it's going to be released on Valentines Day as a thank you to Michael.

3 more full moons until LG7

I actually don't think they're giving up on DISEASE yet 

But album pre-ordering would be nice.

It's kinda obvious they counted (a lot) on Joker stuff to hype new music. Even John Jannick admitted that. 

I mean she made a full album with the movie's music, she even recorded a full live of Harlequin (that we'll probably never get). She made an very dark album, she posted picture of her recording LG7 wering Joker's shirt.

Everybody believed in that movie's success, even studios. And I still think people's overreacted about this movie. And it wasn't really predictable. Mixed reviews were, but a huge tsumani of hate, definitely not. 

 

Objectively Gaga should have started her LG7 roll-out in Spring 2024 while she was teasing 'Dancing in the shadow' in CTB special, and released the album in September, before the movie was out. And pushing a Ariana Eternal Sunshine / Wicked strategy. Anyway, what is done, is done tbh

Objectively, February is way too far out to put out the single after TCBF. Given Coachella was locked in for MONTHS; they wanted the album to come out fairly close as to use Coachella as promo for the album releasing two months prior + likely announce the tour after. I wish we lived in a world where HQ wasn’t marketed as LG6.5 and she never had the Jimmy Kimmel performance (although it was amazing). It confused the GP. I almost wish happy mistake was just for LG7 given it’s a dark song and although we haven’t heard LG7, it feels like it could fit given the themes and production. Gaga ballads always do well and it would’ve been a hit had it been apart of a proper or promo single. Logically disease would come out early January and she announce the album shortly after to sustain the momentum.  
 

Main point is that I’m in no way concerned of LG7 success commercially and no one else should be either tbh. Coachella is a huge platform and will lead to a boost and the tour will sell out no problem. Disease is legitimately her best song in years and the record label chose to push DWAS because it was still smashing. That paired with the negative JFAD press was kind of the worst case scenario given we hyped up LG7 so much but when the album comes we all will be gagging collectively like the community we are.

I like the artistry of all of those ppl. I even like Will.i.am early works and his production on "Fashion!" was amazing. I don't think that he would produce a "mind your business" song type if he's on LG7 lol. 

Gosh I wish there's "The Dare" on the album too, he's amazing. 

Also I think that if there's all of those ppl involved on LG7 we could easily see Fantano giving to this album a strong 8 and apologising for what he said about "Born This way" album. 

But he's too impredictible, if the album has a good reception from the critics he could easily say that he don't like bc he likes to keep his edginess. He liked BRAT who had a good reception so maybe he could conform to the opinion of the critics too.

I have too many questions...
