After a four-year hiatus from solo releases following her 2020 album Chromatica, the Grammy and Oscar-winning icon has made a triumphant return. Her highly anticipated comeback single, "Disease," marks the first track from her yet-to-be-titled seventh studio album, tentatively referred to as "LG7" by fans and Gaga herself.
Blending elements of pop, rock, dance, and pure raw emotion, "Disease" is quintessential Gaga. It delivers the catchy, infectious hooks we’ve come to love, but with a twist—there's a feverish edge of angst. In contrast to the softer, vulnerable ballads dominating the music scene recently, Gaga offers a bold reminder that vulnerability can also have an angsty, yet sweet side.
The track takes us back to the iconic The Fame Monster and Born This Way era, with its electrifying sound and punchy beats. It’s a true banger that screams classic Gaga, reminding fans why they fell in love with her music in the first place.
"Disease" is just a glimpse of what's to come, as Gaga has revealed that her new album will drop in February next year. She’s shared a few hints about her creative journey, teasing that this project will be unlike anything she’s done before.
“I love to break genre, and I love to explore music,” she told Rolling Stone. “There’s something really beautiful about knowing that you will be loved no matter what you do."
With "Disease" already creating a buzz, the countdown to LG7 has officially begun—and if this single is any indication, Gaga’s next chapter will be nothing short of spectacular.
