Lady Gaga plays new music on the streets of Paris

Lady Gaga has taken to the streets of Paris to give fans a preview of her forthcoming seventh album. The singer is currently in France for the 2024 Olympics, where she performed the cabaret song Mon Truc en Plumes during Friday’s opening ceremony.

After watching swimming events and women’s gymnastics (and apparently confirming her engagement to entrepreneur Michael Polansky) over the weekend, she decided to share some new music. I’m so deeply touched by French fans this week outside the hotel, I’m gonna come out and say goodbye tonight – with a few seconds of #LG7,” she wrote on Instagram on Sunday.

Shortly afterwards, she appeared outside, playing a metallic electronic beat from her laptop. The first snippet lasted about 20 seconds, with the star pumping her fist in the air as she popped out of the sunroof of her limousine. Then, with a giggle and a kiss, she closed the laptop and disappeared back into the car. Fans stuck around, chanting her name and chanting lines from her songs. About a minute later, Gaga reappeared, saying: “I’m sorry, I’m gonna do one more.

She then played a second clip that recalled the gothic pop sound of her Artpop album. The star also mouthed a lyric that appeared to be: “I’ve become what was holding me. After posing for photographs, she returned to her hotel with the message: “And for the rest, you have to wait! The new album will be her first solo record since 2020’s Chromatica, which produced the hit singles Stupid Love and Rain On Me.

Gaga also released a duets album, Love For Sale, with Tony Bennett in 2021. It won best traditional pop album at the following year’s Grammy Awards.
