Lady Gaga reveals the secret of ‘Harlequin’ album, inspiration came from Joker 2!

The actress and singer recently talked to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 about how she balances being herself and her character Lee, aka Harley Quinn, for the record, which comes out Friday and has 13 songs.

“I feel like this idea of having two different identities has always been a part of my music,” Gaga said. “I was always making up characters in my music, but when I made Lee for Joker, she had a huge impact on me.”

Many of the songs in the movie are ones that I really enjoy. I learnt about the character through the story, the music that we practiced every day, the dance, the outfits, and the makeup. So I had a deep connection with the character, and she wouldn’t leave my mind when it came to writing. I chose to base an entire album on her.

The “Shallow” singer also said that her Joker: Folie à Deux character is a “really complex woman,” and she added, “I think it was really fun to go, ‘This album will be and I will be what I want, when I decide, whenever I feel like it.'” It will be blues if I want it to be. It will be funk if I want it to be. “If I want it to be soul, it will be soul.”

After giving fans hints about a secret project for weeks, Gaga finally announced Harlequin earlier this week. Spotify showed a sneak peek of the album’s tracks and listed some of the songs’ names: “Good Morning,” “Get Happy (2024),” “Oh, When the Saints,” “World on a String,” “That’s Entertainment,” “Smile,” “The Joker,” and “Folie à Deux.”

Lowe also said that the record sounds “really, really fun” and “really free.” He called it LG 6.5, which means “half Gaga and half Lee.”

Gaga said, “Yeah, it was really fun.” “It felt really free because, as the name suggests, LG 6.5 isn’t linked to pop culture or music as much as some of my other albums might be.” In a way, it gave it freedom.

The musical successor to Todd Phillips’s “The Joker” with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker comes out in theatres on October 4.
