In a recent conversation with Good Morning Britain, Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix discussed their upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux. During this open dialogue, host Richard Madeley noted the excitement among fans for her upcoming album, to which she disclosed that Phoenix has already listened to her unnamed album (often referred to as LG7).

The singer stated, “Apparently, Joaquin listened to my entire seventh album, and he advises you to shadow him.” Also, Lady Gaga disclosed to Vogue that it was her partner, Michael Polansky, who encouraged her to produce a new pop record, saying to the publication, “Michael is the one who urged me to create pop music again. He said, ‘Darling, I adore you. You need to make pop tunes.’

As Polansky shared, just as anyone who cherishes someone else would do, he motivated her to immerse herself in the delight of it. He disclosed to the media outlet that during the Chromatica tour, he noticed a ‘spark’ in her and desired to aid in maintaining that enthusiasm by urging her to create music that sparked joy within her.

On September 27, Lady Gaga unveiled her new studio album titled Harlequin, serving as a companion piece to the soundtrack for her movie “Joker: Folie à Deux”. In an interview on The Zane Lowe Show, Gaga shared that playing the character Lee in the sequel left a deep impact on her, which led to the creation of this album.

She shared that she had a profound connection with the character, which lingered creatively, prompting her to create an entire album inspired by this experience.

Currently, the film “Joker: Folie à Deux” is playing in cinemas. The story revolves around Arthur Fleck, portrayed by Phoenix, who is now a patient at Arkham State Hospital. He develops a romantic relationship with a music therapist named Lee, played by Gaga. As they both succumb to their shared hallucinations and explore music, Fleck’s followers instigate a movement aimed at freeing him.
