On Friday (Sept. 27), Gaga shared Harlequin, her new 13-track album themed after her character Harley Quinn from the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux. Brimming with covers of old classics — including reimagined showtunes like “Good Morning” (Singing in the Rain) and “If My Friends Could See Me Now” (Sweet Charity) — Harlequin “celebrates a figure who thrives on danger, who lives for the undefinable, and who embraces the beautiful chaos of her own dreams,” according to a press release.
Harlequin also features two original songs — the dramatic waltz “Folie à Deux” and the fraught acoustic ballad “Happy Mistake” — that play further into the themes of the forthcoming film. The singer confirmed the existence of her new originals during a red carpet interview at the film’s London premiere on Wednesday (Sept. 25), saying that “Happy Mistake” is “for the album only … it’s all this really interesting, original production.”
The new LP was first cryptically teased on billboards around Los Angeles and New York City as “LG 6.5” or “LG Six.Five.” The temporary title referenced Gaga’s much-discussed seventh studio album — which fans have dubbed “LG7” — and clarified that Harlequin is not the follow-up to 2020’s Chromatica. Gaga has confirmed that the first single from her next album will be dropping in October, while the untitled album is due out in February 2025.
