This has major meme potential

this is the best pop era of the decade holy sh*it

As the era draws nearer, Billboard Magazine has just released a new article on LG7, in the form of a wishlist. Read below or here. "5 Things We Want From Lady Gaga’s Next Studio Album: Critic’s Take From genre influences to potential collaborations, here's Billboard's wishlist for LG7. Four years have passed since Lady Gaga released her 2020 dance-pop symphony, Chromatica, although that gap may feel like a yawning void to some. Between the seismic social shift caused by a global pandemic and a steady, mind-boggling stream of historic events in the intervening months since, the last four years have felt more like decades. It’s fitting, then, that Lady Gaga’s fans have grown more ravenous by the minute for her next studio album. The 38-year-old pop superstar packed her schedule after dropping Chromatica; she embarked on a globe-spanning tour, released a remix album (Dawn of Chromatica), a second set of jazz standards with the late legend Tony Bennett (Love For Sale), filmed a documentary of her tour (Gaga Chromatica Ball), and starred in two blockbuster films (2021’s House of Gucci and the upcoming 2024 film Joker: Folie à Deux). But it appears that, after nearly half-a-decade away, Mother Monster is ready to give fans some new music. At the end of her Chromatica Ball documentary, Gaga slipped in an 8-second clip of an unreleased song as the words “LG7 Gaga RETURNS” flashed across the screen — referencing her fans’ acronym for the singer’s seventh studio album. In a since-removed interview with Drag Race star Sasha Velour for the documentary, Gaga revealed that she’s been spending time in the studio lately “making a lot of music,” adding that she was “excited for Monsters to hear where I am now.” Most recently, Gaga gave her French fans a taste of even more new music following her performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, by taking to the streets in a stretch limousine and playing two more snippets from her new album. While Gaga has yet to confirm any specific details about the album — there’s no word yet on a release date, a title or practically anything else about the project — Billboard decided to put together a short wish list for the long-awaited LG7. From genre influences to collaborations, here are just a few things we hope to see on Lady Gaga’s next studio album: 1. Forget About the 'Genre Album' Concept Each time she releases a new album, Gaga proves that she is a master of creating distinct musical eras. ARTPOP incorporated a much heavier EDM sound than her past works; Joanne heralded the singer’s less-beloved country switch-up; she’s even given us two albums’ worth of jazz standards. Thanks to this trend, Little Monsters have grown accustomed to calling for an “[insert genre here] album” for LG7. Some say they want to see the LP embrace a hard rock sound, while others have hoped for a pure disco album from Mother Monster. But why limit Gaga? On her singular masterpiece Born This Way, the genres she employed on each track were entirely dependent on the emotional undercurrent of what she wrote. Sure, let Gaga do rock, and disco, and industrial techno, and anything else that she wants to — as long as the genre fits the overall of the song she’s singing, there should be no limit to the sonic landscape of LG7. 2. Book Another A-List Collaboration Lady Gaga is selective when it comes to featured slots on her projects — since she doesn’t do that many collaborations, the star goes out of her way to make them count when she does. Some of her biggest hits (“Shallow,” “Telephone” and “Rain on Me,” to name a few) came from Gaga’s choice of a proper collaborator. So on LG7, we’re hoping to see Gaga keep up her hot streak with another culture-breaking collaboration. Our pitch? If Gaga continues to lean in the dark-pop direction she teased in Paris, then she should tap Kesha [] for a feature that’s been years in the making. After the release of her criminally underrated 2023 album Gag Order, Kesha is officially an independent artist again. Her latest single “Joyride,” along with the entirety of Gag Order, showed that Kesha is ready to play with her sound and take some creative risks — who better to help facilitate that process than Lady Gaga? 3. Dance in the Dark a Little Longer Part of what made Chromatica stand out so boldly in 2020 was its stark contrast to our lived reality at the time — while the world felt bleak and colorless in the early days of the pandemic, Gaga’s album provided vibrant escapism with its dance-pop fervor. While we love what Gaga accomplished on Chromatica, we’d like to see the “Stupid Love” singer dive deeper into a darker sound []. When you listen back on a project like The Fame Monster, it’s fascinating to hear Gaga blend rich pop melodies with eerie, macabre themes — a feeling we think has been missing for too long from some of Gaga’s latest work. 4. Corral Some New Producers Despite her reputation as pop music’s resident shapeshifter, Gaga has kept a relatively close-knit stable of producers around her since her debut in 2008. Working frequently with artists like RedOne, DJ White Shadow, Mark Ronson and BloodPop, Gaga has found a group of producers who understand her work — and while we don’t think she should abandon that team altogether, it would be nice to hear another producer’s take. There are already rumors swirling that Gaga may have worked with techno artist Gesaffelstein on LG7, which is as fitting a pairing as we can imagine for an industrial-inspired sound []. If she wants to truly shake things up, though, we would love to see Gaga bring in some of the artists behind her Dawn of Chromatica remix album — LSDXOXO, Arca, A.G. Cook and others — and incorporate their experimental flair into LG7. 5. Keep It Weird For all the talk of change here, there is one thing we hope stays universally the same with Gaga’s next album: her love of the eccentric. From the very outset of her career, Gaga got (and stayed) ahead by focusing on the concept of non-conformity itself. She played with meta-narratives about the performance of fame (a feat modern artists would go on to replicate in their own style more than a decade later); she dedicated her work to outcasts, weirdos and “Monsters” alike; and she allowed herself to make music not defined by trends, but by what actually interested her. If there is anything we can hope for in Gaga’s seventh studio album, it’s the simple plea that she stays true to the inherent peculiarity that has made her the singular pop icon that she is."

We already know

she just said "bad", like get over it omg

but seriously, i want that sound:

The nonprofit founded by megastar Lady Gaga and her mother has donated thousands of dollars to a Portland organization. On July 23, Artist Mentorship Program — which connects local youth experiencing homelessness with the arts — was announced as one recipient of the Kindness in Community Fund. The grant program is a collaboration from clothing brand Cotton On and digital platform Channel Kindness, a project from the pop star and actress’ Born This Way Foundation. The organizations doled out a total of $3 million. This amounts to nearly $50,000 on average for the 65 groups worldwide that were selected for funding. Artist Mentorship Program will use the grant to build on its services spanning back to 1994. The nonprofit’s offerings include free meals, one-on-one music lessons, arts-and-culture-focused activities and professional recording studios — similar to the ones that Lady Gaga has used throughout her career. According to AMP’s latest Impact Report, the nonprofit served around 10,000 meals last year and delivered about 500 pounds of food each week in 2023. “The support from the Kindness in Community Fund is invaluable to AMP, especially as a grassroots organization,” the organization said. “This funding enables us to expand our programs and services, ensuring that we can meet the growing needs of the youth in our community. With this support, we can continue to provide nutritious meals, essential resources, and transformative educational opportunities.” Lady Gaga founded Born This Way Foundation in 2012 along with her mother Cynthia Germanotta, who now serves as president. The nonprofit works to empower young people and destigmatize conversations surrounding mental health. Channel Kindness especially serves as a “safe space for young people to tell their stories of kindness, resilience, and community.” Other grant recipients include South Carolina’s LGBTQ+ youth organization We Are Family, Washington, D.C.-based homelessness nonprofit Sasha Bruce and the National Youth Foundation. https://www.koin.com/local/lady-Gaga-youth-nonprofit-donates-portland-artist-mentorship-program/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0CJrWISTJ1NDTfO1pbMXOOsLNFwhW0v7Q0zXZe9ndH2Jjzla4rvK3x8zc_aem_jQd6F8oZ3fRBcOLp_OaW2A

I recently discovered this video and it perfectly analyzes Haus Labs' journey throughout the years. It's a really interesting video!!

has she ever won a grammy? is brat gonna give her a grammy? bc she IS the moment

Im convinced she’s waiting for Taylor to announce RTV, and Taylor is waiting for her to announce LG7

Born This Way is her best album and it doesn't have any so it's a no for me. But I don't mind a remix with an A list singer as a single

It’s kind of a forgotten song from early in her career, but the lyrics of Ur So Gay are so beyond cringe. It not only is laden with gay slurs and stereotypes, it really contributes to toxic masculinity thinking as well. I just listened to it again for the first time in a long while, and every time I am shocked that this supposed “gay icon” has a song like this in her catalogue. She has tried over the course of her career to correct this perception of her, but she ultimately has always been a panderer to the gay community with her music. Case in point, inserting a gay kiss in the Woman’s World music video, then editing it out in the so called “modesty edit” okay rant done.

So nice of her to name it after my penis <3

The finish Queen of Symphonic Metal, Tarja Turunen, has been recently serving cünt in new photoshoot, in collaboration with acclaimed photographer Tim Tronckoe: After the gothic diva's post on social media, a number of careers were declared as ENDED, and several wigs have been reported missing. After a successful tour with her former bandmate, Marko Hietala, the dramatic soprano is in the process of recording her new album. Will her new musical adventure include a duet with Tarot's frontman, after their reconciliation?

Even she is not ready to release something I would totally love her at least to give us album title, I'm kind tired calling it LG7, it would just feel like the album is real and concrete

i watched this yesterday! i definitely think the aesthetic rebrand/sephora launch was for the best, the launch aesthetic was ok but the amazon exclusive thing wasn’t a great idea for a makeup brand

I'd cum

If LG7 is truly good enough, then I think it could compete against anyone

NEW EPISODE ON LG7 SNIPPETS https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/will76301/episodes/Episode-7---Olympic-Acts-and-LG7-Snacks-e2mmma2

this imagery has been done a lot now that I'm searching for it

Waaait we're getting a music video??!!! Honestly BRAT is the best era we've had from anyone in a while

Cardi B filed for divorce from her estranged husband on Wednesday, her rep confirmed to Page Six. Cardi is seeking primary custody of their children — and that this time she’s not folding. A source familiar with the situation told Page Six that the latest rumors Offset cheated were not the straw that broke the camel’s back for Cardi. “They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” the insider claimed. “This is something she wants to do.”

It's kind of insane 15 years into her career and she still has fans nerding out front of her hotel for new music

Okay but we still know you hate marvel so this just makes you look spineless

C O M E O N A U G U S T !!!

I just don't want the song lengths to look like this, please.

I have a feeling LG7 is going to be her magnetic octopus

Organic hit era without 1000 of releases of the same album and same songs about love and breakups again and again. Maybe it's not #1 on Billboard but it's the real ****.

i think she will depict herself as the "gimp of the garden", or if not that, something biblical

Sorry, I should have included her original tweet in OP. She is aware and involved.

did she lie

I think in the LG7 promo tour, Gaga should include an interview for the podcast 'Tape Notes'. In each episode, an artist or band, sometimes joined by one or several of their producers, talk about the making and production of their latest album. During the interview, they discuss influences and go through early versions of the songs to break down their production and see how they evolved. It would be sooooo cool to hear Gaga speak about this, I feel like we rarely hear her about the actual making of the music even though she's so involved in that process.

Nah The Cure counts, it’s just an awful song lmfaoooo I want a GOOD surprise

to the announcement not to you cumming

The track lengths ☠️
