Lady Gaga unveils 'Harlequin,' Joker sequel soundtrack

Lady Gaga also mentioned that the first single from her new album will be released next month. She worked on this project for several months, sharing studio sessions with her fans on Instagram. The album "Harlequin" will serve as the soundtrack for the film "Joker: Folie à Deux," where Gaga acts alongside Joaquin Phoenix. The film will debut in theaters on October 4. The soundtrack will include new versions of classic songs, such as "That’s Entertainment," featured in the movie. Gaga described the album this way: "I have written so many songs and I have produced so many songs. It’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before."

In recent weeks, Gaga has been teasing her fans by posting mysterious updates on Instagram. Billboards with the number "6.5" suggest that "Harlequin" is not considered a full-fledged seventh album, as opposed to the upcoming "LG7."

Earlier this year, Gaga unexpectedly released a single titled "Die with a Smile" in collaboration with Bruno Mars. According to Variety, this single will not be included in the upcoming album "LG7."

"Joker: Folie à Deux" is one of the most anticipated premieres of 2024. In 2019, "Joker" left Venice with the Golden Lion, but the sequel returned to Hollywood empty-handed. The chilly reception at the festival caused U.S. sales forecasts to plummet. Just a few days ago, it was estimated that the comic book production would earn between 130 and 150 million dollars in American theaters during its opening weekend. Now, "Deadline" suggests that after the first three days of pre-sales, the opening might only reach 70 million dollars, with production costs exceeding 200 million dollars.
