The wait for Lady Gaga [1]'s sixth album, Chromatica, is almost over! On Wednesday, the singer announced the LP's release date [2], sharing an otherworldly promo picture on Instagram and captioning it, "The journey continues. You can officially join me on #Chromatica on May 29. ⚔️💓." Yep, we only have a few more weeks before Mother Monster blasts us to a different planet.
Chromatica was initially supposed to drop on April 10 — shortly after she unveiled her single "Stupid Love" [3] — but Gaga postponed the date due to coronavirus concerns [4]. However, she continued to tease the album on social media [5] and even revealed the tracklist, which features collaborations with Ariana Grande, Elton John, and Blackpink [6].
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple's New Music Daily podcast, Gaga spoke about the album [7], saying, "We are definitely dancing. I put all my heart, all my pain, all my messages . . . into music that I believe to be so fun and energetically really pure, and I want people to dance and feel happy. You know, someone asked me the other day what my goal was with this album, and it actually sounds ridiculous when I say it out loud. But I said, 'I would like to put out music that a big chunk of the world will hear, and it will become a part of their daily lives and make them happy every single day.'"
