It’s been four years since Lady Gaga unveiled her last solo studio album Chromatica — but according to a recent interview, the superstar says that the drought is set to end soon.
Speaking to Drag Race star Sasha Velour in an interview posted to the HBO Max YouTube account which has since been deleted (Max hosts Gaga’s concert documentary Gaga Chromatica Ball), the “Rain on Me” singer revealed that she has been making time for music lately. “I have just been in the studio all the time, and I’m making a lot of music,” Gaga told Velour. “It’s just this incredibly vast experience that I just feel so lucky that I get to have. I’m excited for Monsters to hear where I am now, and to be connecting on that level again.”
Billboard has reached out to representatives for Gaga, Velour and HBO Max for comment.
It’s another bit of recent good news about new music for Little Monsters. At the end of the new film (which gives an exclusive look at Gaga’s sold-out Dodger Stadium stop on the Chromatica Ball tour in September 2022), a message flashed across the screen stating “LG7 GAGA RETURNS,” referring to Gaga’s long-awaited seventh studio album.
Elsewhere in the interview, Velour took a moment to thank Gaga for putting out her new documentary. “I want to thank you so much for making this film, for making music that we can dance to, and cry to, and connect with people over,” she said. “It has saved my life and so many others. Please keep creating, and we will be here to cheer you on.”
The new tease comes shortly after Gaga responded to rumors that she was pregnant. Going on her TikTok, Gaga paraphrased a lyric from fellow pop superstar Taylor Swift and wrote “Not pregnant – just down bad cryin at the gym.” Taking notice, Swift criticized fans speculating on Gaga’s health in a comment. “Can we all agree that its invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body,” Swift wrote. “Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.”
