What genre is Lady Gaga’s new album?

In an interview withVogueon Wednesday, Nov. 20, Gaga revealed that LG7 will be a dark-pop record. “The album is chaotic from a genre perspective — it is genre-bending, and I think in that way is a deeply personal look into my mind as a producer and the way I think about music,” she told the publication.

She said LG7 is “a celebration of a lot of the music that made me who I am,” explaining, “When I returned to a darker pop style of pop, all my early experiences with music came out.”

Gaga also noted the record features personal storytelling throughout — but through “fantasies and escapes.”

“The only place reality is really present is that these fantasies are coming from a real person, trying to soothe their inner chaos,” Gaga toldVogue. “That’s where I found thereasonfor why I make this music. Each song is an exercise in personal chaos—a way to deal with myself.”

She did add the caveat that LG7 is “not extremely serious” and is “very fun and meant to be enjoyed at a party, in a club, or at home having personal fun time — to be free of your worries at home or walking through life.”

In an interview withAccess Hollywood‘s Scott Evans in May, perfan-captured footage, she also noted that she loves “to break genre” and “explore music.”

PerRolling Stone, Gaga also revealed in May that 2022’s Chromatica Ball Tour really impacted her artistic process for the new LP.

“Something I’m definitely exploring right now is sort of the art of intensity and I think that the art of intensity actually began during this tour,” she said. “But I’m not done with it yet.”

What songs will be featured on Lady Gaga’s new album?

On Oct. 25, Gaga released the lead single of LG7, “Disease.”

Gaga has since released two alternate versions of the track —a piano-led acoustic rendition and an electric guitar version.

“Since the chorus of ‘Disease’ was written at the piano, that version was in some parts really delicate and almost somber. So, something I always try to do when I’m singing a song again is to go deeper, and I wondered if we took some of the electric guitar energy that’s on the pop version and stripped it back—would I find another level to the song? And I did,” she toldVogueon Wednesday, Nov. 20.
