A new year could mean new music from Monster Mama. On the evening of January 8, Lady Gaga shared two new photos taken in the recording studio and teased that new music is coming soon. Naturally, fans are already salivating at the idea.
In the Instagram post, Gaga posed in front of a studio microphone wearing an oversized sweater and headphones, hinting that she is working on her seventh studio album. She added a black heart and musical note emoji in the caption of the post, which only fueled the speculation.
This isn't the first time Gaga has said she's back in music mode. In November, she posted a selfie and a photo of her shoes on the studio floor, surrounded by microphone cords. Interestingly, she used the exact same emoji in the caption.
“Lady Gaga is back.”
Of course, Little Monsters on X (formerly Twitter) is starting to salivate over the new music that may be coming later this year. One fan even pointed out that Gaga's shoe choice could mean she's getting ready for a new era. "Shoes?? LADY GAGA IS BACK," they declared.
"LADY GAGA is teasing new music oh we pray for a moment like this," one user excitedly wrote. Another fan said: "Good morning, sleep well knowing Gaga is in the studio."
Some users noted that this was the singer's first social media post of 2024, which will hopefully set the tone for the year. "Gaga definitely knew what she was doing when she decided to make this her first post since 2024," one fan said. "The message was clear and I was ready for it."
Fans weren't the only ones excited about Gaga's tease, her "Rain On Me" collaborator Ariana Grande also liked the post.
Where is LG7?
Gaga hasn't released a solo album since 2020's Grammy-winning "Chromatica." Since she's been busy working on Joker 2 , running her beauty brand Haus Labs, and performing at the Jazz & Piano residency in Las Vegas and the Chromatica Ball tour (for which she's working on a musical movie), fans have been wondering when they can expect her next album.
She didn't leave the music world entirely, writing the original song "Hold My Hand" for Top Gun: Maverick , which was nominated for an Oscar, and the following year she collaborated with the Rolling Stones on "Sweet Sounds of Heaven."
But in June, Gaga acknowledged her absence from music and social media, telling fans on Instagram that she was being creative "in a very special and private way."
"For the first time in years I can say that my love for art, music, fashion and supporting community has never been more fulfilling," she wrote. "I may not share as much of myself online as I have in the past, but I want you to know that this time has been extremely healing and recharging for my heart, mind, body, and creativity."
