Lady Gaga's Chromatica Fundrager

Lady Gaga and Paper Magazine threw a Chromatica "Fundrager" on Zoom where all proceeds went to the Marsha P Johnson Institute, an organization that protects and defends the human rights of black transgender people.
This organization was one of many that Lady Gaga spoke about in a recent Twitter thread in her support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The fundraiser, hosted by Zach Campbell and Brendan Jordan, highlighted the talents of many performers and artists such as Purple Disco Machine, Ralphi Rosario, Doss, Dee Diggs, Anz, Juku, and The Ugly One. Attendees in the Zoom call could enter with a code. Various fans entered as well as members of the Haus of Gaga.

Lady Gaga first made an appearance with a custom studded Chromatica face mask. She was surrounded by an outstanding wardrobe as she danced and did her own hair and makeup.
She later appeared and danced in a Manzanares fringe bodysuit as a SceiƟeĀ remix which transitioned into G.U.Y. played in the background. She brought out a laptop and struck various poses as she continued to enjoy the dance party. She eventually stopped to speak about the event:
"Hi everybody. I just want to thank you so much for coming. I love you, I love you so much! Thank you, Marsha P. Johnson, for being such an inspiration to so many people." She went on to thank the audience, "Thank you so much for being here tonight. You guys are having so much fun together in the spirit of something so kind and beautiful. I f*cking love you. Please take care of each other tonight."
She then commemorated Campbell and Jordan for hosting the event, as well as quipped about a quick outfit change.
Ā "I love seeing you all smiling and dancing, so back to the music because I'm going to do a quick change! Girl, my lace front is about to fall the damn fool off! I did this sh*t myself!"

Lady Gaga then returned in a pink outfit from the BCALLA Swim with the Tide but Faster Collection to once again praise the performers, hosts, and the cause. She ended her appearance for the event by teasing she was returning to the world of Chromatica.

Unfortunately the livestream has been taken down from Youtube, but you can still rewatch the full event on PAPER MAGAZINE.Ā

MGM Buys Riddley Scott's Gucci Movie With Lady Gaga

The Hollywood ReporterĀ has exclusively reported thatĀ MGM is acquiring the rights to Ridley Scottā€™sĀ Gucci,Ā a trueĀ crime drama about the murder of Maurizio Gucci who once served as the head of theĀ iconicĀ fashion house. The media company is said to be in talks with Lady Gaga to star in the production. MGM was given full control to develop the story over Netflix and one other streaming service, partly because it offered the possibility of a theatrical release, which was a key factor inĀ consideration for Ridley Scott, sources say.Ā 
Gaga would return to the silver screen asĀ PatriziaĀ Reggiani, Gucci's ex-wife who was arrested and convicted of arranging theĀ killing of her husbandĀ in 1998 after she found out about an affair. The script was developed byĀ Roberto Bentivegna around a book byĀ Sara Gay Forden namedĀ The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed,Ā and published in 2001. The book takes the audience behind the scenes of the murder, the motives behind it, the trials and the passions, the power and the complexities of one of the greatest families in fashion.Ā Maurizio Gucci was the grandson ofĀ Guccio Gucci, the founder of the eponymous fashion house,Ā and leadĀ the company in a declining period in the 1980s.
The release of the movie currently is set asĀ Nov. 24, 2021.Ā "Nothing typifies bold, audacious originality more than a film by Ridley Scott," says De Luca in a statement. "All of us at MGM are incredibly excited to be in business with Ridley, Giannina, Kevin and the whole team at Scott Free."

Lady Gaga Graces The Cover of InStyle

Lady Gaga graces the coverĀ ofĀ US InStyle's May Beauty Issue. She talks about her delayed 6th studio record Chromatica, politics, marriage and her famous "f" tweet that went viral on Twitter.Ā You can read a part of the interview below.
Ā 
Lady Gaga is fully aware that ourĀ topsy-turvy worldĀ could use a bit of sonic relief ā€” and if sheā€™s being totally honest, she could too. Case in point: A few days after the release of "Stupid Love," the first single off her new album,Ā Chromatica,Ā every other news story was aboutĀ the coronavirus crisis. But a clip of a somber press conference in Italy went viral when an attendeeā€™s ringtone set to the song accidentally went off and produced a few much-needed laughs. Gaga retweeted the link with the comment, "And this is why I make music."
For true-blue Gaga fansĀ ChromaticaĀ is worth the wait. The album was originally set to be released on April 10, but when the novel coronavirus became a pandemic, the star put those plans on hold to focus on an even bigger mission: partnering with the international advocacy organization Global Citizen to raiseĀ $35 millionĀ (and counting) for the World Health Organizationā€™sĀ Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund. She also curated a lineup of her fellow musicians for a two-hour special,Ā One World: TogetherĀ at Home,Ā whichĀ will be broadcast on all major television stations on April 18.
As of now, Gaga still intendsĀ to follow through with her plans to support the album with a six-city tour,Ā The Chromatica Ball,Ā kicking off at the end of July. Should the concerts come to pass, plan to wear your dancing shoes. Whereas her previous release,Ā Joanne,Ā was a folk-tinged album for dive bars,Ā ChromaticaĀ is a return to Gaga in her purest pop form. At a preview listening, the swell of the first few notes was an instant stress reliever, as if long-lost tracks from the "Paparazzi" era had just been found, polished up, and newly released. Itā€™s her original sound with a grown-up twist. Sheā€™s even brought along a few of her famous friends for guest spots. Co-produced by 29-year-old whiz BloodPopĀ®, who has previously worked with Grimes, Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Britney Spears,Ā ChromaticaĀ speaks to theĀ prismatic range of experiences that have informed Gagaā€™s life.
Ā 
"I feel very grateful for what I've been a part of and what I've been invited to be a part of," Gaga says. "All these artistic experiencesĀ made me who I am today. It's like when people get married and say, 'Through thick and thin.' That's how I feel about myself. I feel like, 'You know what, Gaga? You know what, Stefani? In sickness and in health, I'm with you, and I'm going to hold your hand whatever the outcome.'"
The 34-year-old Gaga seems to be at the top of her game leading intoĀ Chromatica's release, but getting to this place has been a thorny process. She hasĀ been to hell and backĀ and has lived to tell the tale through her music. Stratospheric fame is overwhelming enough, but for years Gaga was suffering from PTSD from having been raped when she was 19. As she told Oprah Winfrey in January during her 2020 Vision tour in front of hundreds of people,Ā a "psychotic breakdown"Ā forced her to address what had happened to her. Gaga, who has always been upfront about her mental-health issues, said the psychological anguish led to intense, chronic physical pain that was eventually diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Her current treatment cycle of medication, meditation, radical-acceptance therapy, and self-care is helping her to feel the best she has in years.
Ā 
"I think it took me some time to grieve about the things that have happened to me, and I couldn't be angry with myself for how long it took," she says, admitting that her glittery faƧade was often just that. "I've beenĀ depressedĀ and been at the grocery store and seen photos of myself and gone, 'Well, I look like everything is good.' But I was secretly freaking out, and the world had no idea. Or some people in the world. I hate using that phrase 'the world.' It's so egocentric to assume the whole world thinks about or knows about me. It doesn't."
What does someone who has experienced so much really want out of life? "Marriage," says the star (who, according to her Instagram feed, is currentlyĀ dating tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky). "More music, more movies, more charity with the Born This Way Foundation [a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth and supporting mental health and wellness]. I want to do way more philanthropy. I want to help fund more research about fibromyalgia and neuropathic and chronic pain by putting a team of doctors together. I have a lot of dreams and hopes. What I will actually accomplish, I have no idea, but I know that I'll be doing it with the people I love."
Perhaps most important for the woman who calls herself Mother Monster is starting her own brood. "I will say I am veryĀ excited to have kids," Gaga admits. "I look forward to being a mom. Isn't it incredible what we can do? We can hold a human inside and grow it. Then it comes out, and it's our job to keep it alive. It's so funny ā€” everyone works out of my house every day. When they come in, I always say, 'Welcome to the Womb!'"
Ā 
PoliticsĀ are also on her mind, although Gaga, who famously campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016, hasn't publicly gotten behind a candidate yet. (Our interview takes place a few days before former Vice President Joe Biden wins the South Carolina primary.)
"I want to make an informed decision as a citizen on who to vote for in the election, but I do not obsess over figures who do not deserve to be obsessed over," she says. "I'm not going to hang my hat for humanity on one individual. It's also on us to run this country. Putting so much importance on the government as the overarching, all-knowing force that runs our lives ā€” I just don't believe that to be true. I believe that we have the power to decide what the culture of this country looks like. We have the power to decide how we deal with one another socially. And we don't need to place too much power in anyone's hands. That said, I'm watching what happens. I think we all know who I willĀ notĀ be voting for."
Gaga knows the power of her sway, which can be both a blessing and a curse. She admits to having aĀ love-hate relationship with social media. "I post some things from my personal life, I post some things from my business life, I post some things from my musical life," she says. "But I will say that I'm not super-obsessed with reading comments or counting likes or making sure everybody loves everything. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if the people who invented social media all got in a room and went, 'Let's start something where nobody has to be brave and everybody can hide and be mean.' It's not all bad, but a significant change has happened in culture as a result of it. This idea to socially network was supposed to bring us closer, but it built a bunch of walls and made it harder for us to be ourselves around each other."
Every so often she'll log on and tweet random things like theĀ letter "f"Ā or "I don't rememberĀ Artpop" (her third album). What gives? "I'm trying to crack the code that is the algorithm of the Internet, and I will do so in various ways," she says. "You may not always understand why an 'f' tweet gets that many likes. Who knows why? It was just a social experiment. I'm trying to understand people."

Lady Gaga Goes Full Transformation for PAPER MAGAZINE

"I consent to being nude with everyone in this room,"Ā Lady GagaĀ says, before slipping off her customĀ VersaceĀ robe emblazoned with her name on the back in crystals. "I believe we're makingĀ art, this isn't pornography." With nothing on ā€” not even her signature towering heels ā€” the 5'2'' pop star walks confidently onto set for our cover shoot and positions herself inside a cage with hundreds of cameras attached to its frame. The countless lenses focus on her naked form, prepped to capture all angles of her body, as she holds one still pose and patiently waits for further instruction. "Three, two, one."Ā Flash. Every camera goes off in unison like lightning.
The scene is immediately jarring: A global icon, whose career has been closely documented by cameras, sometimes against her will, and whose art has frequently centered on the violence of paparazzi culture, submitting herself to the same technology that's made ā€” and challenged ā€” her for the past 10 years. She calls for her longtime manager,Ā Bobby Campbell, to play a song off her sixth studio album, and asks him to turn it up: "Louder, please." Amidst a flurry of wild animal noises, references to partying in "BC" and fierce house beats, Gaga warns listeners to "battle for your life" on the track, as she mouths each lyric to herself. It's the only song played all day, and she requests for it to be queued back to back.
In control of all of the cameras is Belgian artistĀ Frederik Heyman, who needs every inch of her body 3D-scanned in order to later create a computer-generated Gaga avatar in various digitally constructed environments. This multimedia cover shoot is in conversation with the visual language being honed by Gaga and her team for her new album,Ā Chromatica, out April 10. It's named after a world "that celebrates all things" ā€” where, according to Gaga, "No one thing is greater than the other." On set, Gaga works from this same headspace, treating everyone in the room as a collaborator, especially when it comes to styling. She specifically rejects wearing head-to-toe designer clothing, instead opening up conversation for "a more fucked-up" fashion direction. "It doesn't need to go together, it just needs to be upsetting," she says, pointing lovingly to a pair of flame-printed panties.
Ā  All clothing and accessories: Balenciaga
When Heyman describes his plan to depict the pop star as a contrasting half-human / half-android figure, Gaga, ever the artist in control of her nuanced brand and vision, quickly challenges the intent behind this idea. "I don't like futurism for the sake of it," she respectfully asserts more than once. Gaga is also fixated on a much deeper truth at the heart ofĀ Chromatica's ethos. "A robot puts me above people," she muses. "Do you think a robot me is better than a human me?"
WHEN WE MEET AGAINĀ at Gaga's Los Angeles house the next day, her hair is dyed hot pink, and she's wearing a matching magenta shirt pierced with dozens of safety pins, fishnet stockings, underwear and massive black Demonia platforms. She walks into her private at-home recording studio ā€” whiskey in hand ā€” and informs me that somebody else had been using the space, so she'll need a few minutes to reset her sound system. Expertly navigating an intimidating maze of knobs and plugs, Gaga preps the room to play her new, unreleased music. This is the same studio where she completedĀ Chromatica, and, she tells me, it once belonged to experimental rock musician Frank Zappa. Gaga's been living in Zappa's former LA home while her Malibu spot is under repair for damage caused by the California fires. She hasn't been back since leaving.
"This isn'tĀ Joanne," Gaga jokes up front, previewing new material that stands in contrast to her stripped-down fifth studio album, which saw her venture into folksy Americana influences Ć  laĀ "Million Reasons."Ā Gaga then cues up the first song she wrote forĀ Chromatica: lead singleĀ "Stupid Love,"Ā a relentless, driving disco-pop tune that revels in the joyful foolishness of loving someone. "I want your stupid love," she repeats passionately on the chorus ā€” a similar sentiment to 2009'sĀ "Bad Romance,"Ā only Gaga's outlook now is much healthier and more independent. "Nobody's gonna heal me if I don't open the door," she sings, later doubling down: "Now it's time to free me from the shame."
When Gaga plays her new music inside the studio, she blows out of her seat and dances wall to wall as if performing for an arena of thousands, only she's just a few feet from me. Even a private show from Gaga somehow feels massive. Working through the "Stupid Love" music video's choreography, she holds direct eye contact ā€” pointing and lip-syncing ā€” before swiftly spinning around and watching her reflection in the recording booth window. By the end of each track, she's completely out of breath. It's immediately clear that these songs are something of an antidepressant for Gaga ā€” the lyrics and melodies have temporarily relieved her from excruciating pain and the trappings of fame,Ā as she's previously tweeted about.
Gaga is well aware that "Stupid Love" leaked in January, long before she'd even filmed its video or planned for anyone to hear it. She jokes that when hackers typically find her material, they'll leak their favorite, which validated her decision to make the track open theĀ ChromaticaĀ era. Many fans figured she'd rush it out, but Gaga wasn't interested in releasing anything half-baked. "There was a minute where me and my manager, Bobby, were talking, 'Do we change the single?' We'd just spent months and months developing this video and choreography. And I said, 'Nope!' You know why? Because the song, when it's mixed, mastered and finished with the visuals, and everything I have to say about it ā€” when all those things come together at once, that will be the art piece I'm making. Not a leak."
As expected, Gaga's final "art piece" is wildly ambitious, with an iPhone-shot music video that saw 50 dancers film for two days straight in the hot, dry California desert. In it, her "Kindness Punks" ā€” dressed in that same bubblegum-pink shade Gaga wears in her studio ā€” rush to break up a fight between different tribes segmented by colors. Gaga presents as a warrior leader, with theĀ ChromaticaĀ symbol on her forehead like a third eye and accessories that resemble armor, from a massively spiked belt to a full-face shield. In addition to the "Kindness Punks," of which Gaga is a member, there are the "Freedom Fighters" in blue, "Junkyard Scavengers" in black, "Government Officials" in red, "Eco Warriors" in green and "Cyber Kids" in yellow. By the end, they all ultimately find mutual peace and dance together as a full spectrum.
This experience, Gaga says, further proved her newfound appreciation for the power of nature over technology. Prior to filming, Gaga rehearsed for three days and her dancers immediately followed with five of their own. Her longtime choreographer,Ā Richard Jackson, who's responsible for movement in everything fromĀ "Telephone"Ā toĀ "Applause,"Ā had the challenge of creating and teaching dances that would last the duration of "Stupid Love" without stopping. Gaga gushes, "I want you to imagine people dancing for eight to 10 hours straight. I watched them work so hard ā€” the blood and sweat. Scrapes from dancing in the desert or getting poked in the eye from a stud that knocked them in the face. They're breathing in sand, they can't see. The conditions alone were ridiculous."
Ā  After extensive rehearsal, a drone was finally used to film the scene on-site, though it didn't have nearly the same drive as Gaga and her dancers. "The damn thing lasts three-and-a-half minutes" before dying, Gaga laughs. "I was like, 'Oh, are you tired? Was that choreography too hard for you?' And I had another epiphany: I said, 'I can't even rely on this drone to capture this shot for me. But these dancers behind me? Their bodies are killing them, they all feel like fainting. That is more powerful than anything. The human spirit is remarkable.' I told the dancers before we left for the desert, 'This might be the hardest thing you've ever done, and if it's not, I did it wrong. But you can do it, and when you look back on this time, you'll remember how strong you are.'"
WHILE RECORDINGĀ Chromatica, Gaga says she often "couldn't get off the couch" because her head-to-toe body pain was so extreme. ButĀ BloodPopĀ®, the hit producer whom Gaga describes as the "center" of her new album, would consistently empower her to push forward and create. "He'd be like, 'Come on, let's go. We're going to make music.' And I'd be maybe crying or venting about something that was happening in my life over some pain or depression I was feeling." Together, they co-wrote songs that temporarily brought Gaga joy. "I'd start out the day so down and I'd end up dancing, looking in the mirror, practicing my moves, singing along," she says. "Every day was an enlightening experience, but it had to happen every day."
Gaga was 19 years old when she was raped repeatedly by an unnamed man she knew in the entertainment industry ā€” an incident she openly discussed during aOprah's 2020 Vision tour. The musician developed PTSD as a result, exacerbated by her decision not to seek treatment early on. "I did not have a therapist," Gaga told Oprah in January. "I did not have a psychiatrist. I did not have a doctor help me through it. I just all of a sudden became a star and was traveling the world, going from hotel room to garage to limo to stage. And I never dealt with it." Instead, Gaga said she "used to cut" herself as a means to cope with everything that triggered her pain. "I have scars," she told Oprah.
Ā  After years of having avoided processing her rape, Gaga's body finally said "enough" in 2013. Little Monsters will recall a video capturing the exact moment Gaga's hip broke while she was performing "ScheiƟe" in Montreal during herĀ Born This WayĀ tour. She let out a bloodcurdling shrill, slowly lowered herself to the ground and somehow still mustered the strength to complete the song's difficult choreography. All remaining tour dates were then cancelled, while Gaga privately recovered. In 2017, Gaga was diagnosed with a condition called fibromyalgia, which leaves her with chronic full-body pain as a trauma response, recreating the illness she says she felt after being raped. "The debate around fibromyalgia, we could have it for hours," Gaga says, matter-of-factly. "Some people believe in it, some people don't. Essentially it's neuropathic pain: My brain gets stressed, my body hurts." For the past few years, Gaga has been rightfully angry at having limited solutions for living comfortably with the pain. "[I'm] angry at my body, angry at my condition, angry that when I'm stressed my body hurts," she says.
"I know what it's like to be in pain. And I know what it's like to also not let it ruin your life."
She describes something called "radical acceptance" as a means for getting her through this dark period, "where you have to 'radically accept' that you're not going to feel well every day, maybe a little bit. Some days are way worse, some days aren't. But you know what I can do? I can go, 'Well, my hands work; my arms work; my legs work, even though they are sore; my back works; my brain works; my heart works; I'm taking breaths, my lungs work.' You can just be grateful for what you can do."
ChromaticaĀ can be seen as a reflection of this radical acceptance; it's an album Gaga describes as "dancing through her pain." Featuring explosive anthems that brim with euphoric synth-pop climaxes (way bigger thanĀ The Fame), its lyrics nevertheless reflect Gaga's more somber, personal experiences. "It's a smack across the face throughout the album," Gaga says of its celebratory sound. "We don't stop being that happy. You will hear the pain in my voice and in some of the lyrics, but it always celebrates."
Still, Gaga acknowledges the idiocy of unwavering happiness (and the fact that pop, and the mainstream music market at large, is often designed to sell that lie). "Give me a break, [happiness is] not that simple," Gaga says. "I have clinical depression. There's something going on in my brain where the dopamine and serotonin are not firing the same way, and I can't get there. If someone says, 'Come on, just be happy,' I'm like, 'You fucking be happy.'"
WithĀ Chromatica, however, Gaga wants to put forth an ideology that suggests it's possible to feel joy even at the same time as you're experiencing sorrow ā€” like putting a happiness filter on life. "I will do whatever it takes to make the world dance and smile," she says. "I want to put out a record that forces people to rejoice even in their saddest moments. And by the way, I'm not standing over here with a flag going, 'I'm all healed, everything's perfect.' It's not; it's a fight all the time. I still work on myself constantly. I have bad days, I have good days. Yeah, I live inĀ Chromatica, it took a minute to get here, but that doesn't mean I don't remember what happened. So if you're in pain and listening to this music, just know that I know what it's like to be in pain. And I know what it's like to also not let it ruin your life."
OF COURSE,Ā you could say Gaga's music has been "making the world dance and smile" since day one. Often, the exuberance she makes people feel is rooted in her embrace of inclusivity and equality ā€” steady themes throughout Gaga's career, from her early opposition to the US military's discriminatory "don't ask, don't tell" law (repealed in 2010) to her LGBTQ epic,Ā Born This Way, released in 2011. "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life," she sings on the title track, which ultimately inspired the creation of herĀ Born This Way FoundationĀ "for a kinder, braver world." But another recurring motif has always been a fixation on the future. In the Nick Knight-directedĀ music videoĀ forĀ Born This Way's title track, Gaga births a new, "infinite" race that "bears no prejudice, no judgment, but boundless freedom." As the character "Mother Monster," she's soaked in extraterrestrial pregnancy slime, living on G.O.A.T. (a "Government-Owned Alien Territory" in space), and describing the "mitosis of the future" in relation to her fantasy anti-hate militia.
Nearly a decade later, Gaga now says "we're living in the future," which is whyĀ ChromaticaĀ ā€” as a concept ā€” feels like the result of every seed initially planted on that intergalactic G.O.A.T. In her studio, Gaga clarifies her updated stance on futurism, and the reasons she wanted to question it on set. "I've been obsessed with the future for so long, going,Ā What's next?" she says. "And then I turned back and looked at my life. I unpacked all the things I've learned that have helped me and that have hurt me, and that taught me infinitely more. Now, [the past] informs my work. It's like I was blocked because I was so obsessed with what was next, what was coming, what does it mean to go forward, that I didn't realize I was already in the future. And where we are, where we stand in the present, is powerful."
Ā  Today, Gaga says she lives inĀ Chromatica, which, unlike G.O.A.T., isn't a fictional location at all. "It's a perspective," Gaga corrects, pointing to her heart. "It's right here. I might sound silly, but I'm on it right now ā€” I'm not on another planet. If you see and listen toĀ Chromatica, and you want to live there, too, you're invited. But I do want to be clear that it's not a fantasy." Gaga earnestly explains that it's as if she "deleted Earth" and "replaced it withĀ Chromatica" in her mind, making this abstract, arguably absurd process seem realistic. Admittedly, I want to be inĀ ChromaticaĀ with Gaga, too. Maybe I am?
She came up with the name alongside BloodPopĀ®, who previously worked with Gaga onĀ Joanne, as well as with artists likeĀ Justin Bieber,Ā GrimesĀ andĀ Madonna, among others. Together, they feltĀ ChromaticaĀ represented, in its simplest form, "a spectrum of people" that "all shared the same perspective" and always believed in "kindness over war." But Gaga wanted its ethos to dig even deeper. "It became not just about saying all people are included (all colors, all races, all ethnicities, all gender identities, all sexual identities, all religious identities)," she says. "It's saying there are more colors and more kinds than we could possibly fathom. We're all so different and that's the perspective."
But Gaga reiterates thatĀ ChromaticaĀ is not "this imaginary fairy-tale happy land where everything's perfect," and understands the inevitability of darkness co-existing with the light. "In order to understand love, you have to understand that there's hate," she says, in another parallel to G.O.A.T. and her "Born This Way" video when Mother Monster questions, "How can I protect something so good without evil?" Much as Gaga continues to reconcile these opposing forces onĀ Chromatica, she also needed to wrestle with this duality in her own life and face her preexisting trauma head-on, which she says is the "bravest step you can take as a human."
Referencing close friends who have struggled with finding healthy ways to work through their own pain, Gaga explains what made her realize just how difficult it is to honestly process your past. "I can't tell you who, but I've met people who have said to me, while sucking down bottles and bottles of wine and doing drugs, 'I will never do what you did. I will never take care of my heart and my emotions the way that you have.' And it really made me think about what a step it was for me in my life to decide to get healthy mentally."
Gaga continues, "I want my legacy to be the most beautiful diary that I ever could've made. And diaries are meant to be true. I think when we start lying to ourselves in our diaries, we start to create secrets within ourselves that don't help us. I like to look myself squarely in the eye now."
WHEN GAGA LOOKS BACKĀ on the evolution of her music career, she sees a clear development of influences. She starts by referencing her rape as a life-altering experience that set the tone for how she created art as a young adult. Not long after, she "went on tours and became very traumatized by the pace of fame and everything I had to do ā€” what was required of me physically and mentally changed the way I wrote. Relationships, family, friends, isolation, traveling all the time, no sleep." Through it all ā€” the inevitable extreme highs and lows of a superstar who's been built up and torn down by the public ā€” Gaga says she doesn't regret anything she's ever made.
I was like, 'I'm going to die soon, so I better say something important.' Now I listen to it and know that I'm going to live."
The topic ofĀ ARTPOPĀ comes up, specifically Gaga'sĀ contentious 2019 tweet, "I don't rememberĀ ARTPOP," which sent fans into an absolute frenzy in defense of her underrated, critically slammed 2013 effort. As it turns out, Gaga does, in fact, recall her sometimes controversial third album. "I think it's funny that I'm not allowed to have a sense of humor," she says. "The internet is essentially a big joke, but if I tell one everyone freaks out. I don't regret my art, and I wouldn't suggest anyone do." ThoughĀ ARTPOPĀ couldn't possibly compare to the colossal success of Gaga's first two albums, it's certainly her most experimental to date. (Justice for "Sexxx Dreams," the hit single that never was.) "I look back atĀ ARTPOPĀ and look at music today, and I see a lot of things that were very..." Gaga pauses to find the right word. "Futuristic. Or they were ahead of their time, and I'm okay with saying that."
There was a period where Gaga says she was more "introspective" and therefore wanted to make music for herself, starting withĀ ARTPOPĀ and then withĀ Joanne. Both albums were polarizing, vastly different projects for longtime fans to initially digest, but they froze an honest moment in time for an artist being pulled in two directions: by the immense pressures of fame, as well as her own need for self-fulfillment. "JoanneĀ was exactly what I wanted to do," Gaga affirms. "The way I wanted to do it, the way I wanted it to sound, and so wasĀ ARTPOPĀ ā€” everything about it. Every album has been exactly what I wanted to make at that time. It's just there was a period where I think I forgot about where I was, and maybe that's why it's been so important for me withĀ ChromaticaĀ to reestablish where I am for myself. So that here can mean something very powerful."
While creatingĀ Chromatica, Gaga says she reconnected with the way she believes music moves through her, like a messenger for some higher spirit. She believes in God, having grown up Catholic, but says God is "too big" for her to fully understand. According to Gaga, ideas for songs onĀ ChromaticaĀ came to her by "opening the portal to the other realm and listening to God," which is why it all sounds so positive. "That's what the other realm was telling me to create," she says. "I might, to some people, sound like I have a perspective on life that's eccentric, but I actually don't think that my talent belongs to me." When Gaga was younger, she remembers hearing melodies in her head and "running to the piano." The portal has been with Gaga her entire life, only she forgot for a brief moment to listen.
One such message led Gaga to collaborate with a fellow female pop star, who has similarly experienced immense trauma while in the public eye. Their song together is a monster of a dance tune, but its message is about submitting yourself to devastation ("It's coming down on me, water like misery") ā€” a flawless dance floor crier as a "celebration of all the tears," Gaga describes. "I sat with her and we talked about our lives. It's two women having a conversation about how to keep going and how to be grateful for what you do." Without being prompted, Gaga raises the inevitable criticism that celebrities face when they say "it's hard to be famous." She knows that "75% of the world rolls their eyes," but Gaga counters: "Yeah, you can be in a mansion, but you can still be six feet under in one."
Elsewhere inĀ Chromatica, Gaga explores topics like her antipsychotic medication ("My biggest enemy is me, pop a 911") and the undeniable force of femininity ("I'm not nothing without a steady hand"), the latter of which acknowledges both her own strength as well as that of the community who has "cheer[ed] her on" and helped her "become a woman." Specifically, she calls out trans women and gay men for helping her cope with PTSD and move past any spirals associated with reliving her pain. "In 2020, what does it mean to be a free woman?" Gaga questions, prompting a song that answers this question and sees her challenging the need to be with a man ā€” or anyone at all ā€” in order to survive. "Can I feel free on my own? Do I need to be loved in order to feel like I've conquered it all?" Speaking to the track's origin, Gaga says, "It came from thinking on some days I was going to die. I was like, 'I'm going to die soon, so I better say something important.' Now I listen to it and know that I'm going to live."
IF CHROMATICAĀ is a mindset where "kindness rules all," created as a gift "for the world," Gaga says it was crucial for the collaborative process to also mirror these values. Gaga flags the difficulty of consolidating more than two years of music-making with tons of different producers into one interview, and instead proposes that she create an Excel spreadsheet for me detailing exactly who worked on what. Above all, Gaga wants to talk at length about BloodPopĀ®, her other "nucleus" onĀ Chromatica. "We combined," she says of working with him on this project. "I'm overwhelmed by the amount of love he had to offer me. I could not have made this album without him. He was the world's most incredible alarm when the ambulance was coming."
All of the musicians involved ā€” BURNS, Axwell, Rami Yacoub, Benjamin Rice, Tchami and more ā€” would work onĀ ChromaticaĀ as an equal group effort, which is rare considering how so many producers "can get very territorial" based on Gaga's previous experience. "It was a very fluid process with no ego," she says. "Every single thing you hear onĀ ChromaticaĀ was passed around and things would get removed, changed or altered. Everyone here heard it or touched it." That's why songs like "Stupid Love" sound notably soulful and complex. "It's easy to go into a computer and find a cool loop, but the producers I work with don't work this way. When they're inspired, they embroider things."
Ā  From start to finish,Ā ChromaticaĀ is firmly rooted in classic house, with crisp, clubby dance breaks that all sound like they're competing with each other to be the biggest on the tracklist. Sonically, it's perhaps Gaga's most focused, consistent album to date, with all these producer contributions laddering up to the same fearless electronic tapestry, weaving in unruly breakbeat outros, emotional power-pop melodies that send a dopamine rush through the brain and tons of slick, shiny synths. You can weep to these songs just as much as you can sweat to them, and Gaga seems to be encouraging both at once.
Tensions can easily rise in-studio, but Gaga proudly attests that she experienced the opposite while recordingĀ Chromatica. "I think the only day me and BloodPopĀ® ever had a fight was when I was trying to learn a jazz tune because I was going to see Tony [Bennett] really soon. He was like, 'We have to finish this!' and I was singing a Cole Porter record in the corner," she laughs. "And that wasn't even really a fight." Rather, BloodPopĀ® was more focused on bringing people together through this process. "It was like some really talented, wonderful men all joined arms with BloodPopĀ® in front of all of them and he was like, 'Do you remember how much you've changed the world? Do you know how much you have to offer people?' He reminded me that every day, no matter how hard it was."
And onĀ Chromatica, what Gaga offers is openness, honesty and an affirmation of the human spirit ā€” hers and the rest of the world's. "The human spirit is more fucking powerful than anything," she says. "I thinkĀ ChromaticaĀ is the most honest thing I could've ever created, and I'll never forget making this record. It's been one of the most special and hard times in my life." As if to drive home her points at the end of our meeting, Gaga picks up a giant, green crystal on the coffee table, surrounded by speakers, microphones and mixers. "Do you know crystals have been around for billions of years?" she asks, smiling. "The past is incredible. Look what we've done without technology. Look how we've survived without it. Look how we've kept going." Certainly no drone could say the same.

Lady Gaga Talks About Chromatica

Lady Gaga has given her first interview of the LG6 era, which can now officially be called the Chromatica Era.Ā 
ReadĀ Lady Gaga'sĀ first interview aboutĀ ChromaticaĀ below.

Discussing the albums concept withĀ Zane Lowe on Beats1, Gaga said:
ā€œThe symbol forĀ ChromaticaĀ has a sine wave in it, which is the mathematical symbol for sound, and itā€™s from what all sound is made from, and, for me, sound is what healed me in my life period, and it healed me again making this record, and that is really whatĀ ChromaticaĀ is all about. Itā€™s about healing and itā€™s about bravery as well and itā€™s really like, when we talk about love I think itā€™s so important to include the fact that it requires a ton of bravery to love someone.ā€œ
ā€œBloodPopĀ®Ā [who executive producedĀ ChromaticaĀ with Lady Gaga] brought it up, and we talked about howĀ Chromatica wasĀ essentially on its own when you first look at it, it seems to be about colors and all the different colors and also music is made of a chromatic scale, you know? So itā€™s all the colors, all the sounds, you know, so we, weā€™re talking about inclusivity and life and also a lot of what we see around us and what weā€™re experiencing is math, which is very much like music and and sound is math as well. So we talked about that, and then I sort of went back and I said, ā€œOK, well, yeah, itā€™s inclusivity but it's really a way of thinking,ā€ you know, it's not just, ā€œOh,Ā Chromatica, weā€™re being inclusive with all the colors, all the people,ā€ and when I say, ā€œAll the colors, all the people,ā€ I mean way more than we could possibly fathomā€
ā€œI think that weā€™re actually operating on a completely rudimentary level where we square things off into very simplified colors when actually weā€™re all extremely different in a vast variety of ways that stem from both, like, genetics as well asĀ epigenetics, like, weā€™re all completely different and I thought OK, well maybe,Ā ChromaticaĀ is a frame of mind. And that is my frame of mind, and I donā€™t know that Iā€™ve ever made an album that wasnā€™t onĀ ChromaticaĀ in some type of way, meaning like my frame of mind is always a part of my music, and this is just my way of kind of expressing, even in a both literal and abstract way, that, like, making music and putting it out into the world is my perspective on life, and itā€™s also my gift to the world in the best way that I can, and I think that everyone on any given day is doing the absolute best that they can do, and this is my perspective, and here it is, and itā€™s always been my perspective, but now IĀ knowĀ that it was my perspective.ā€

Lady Gaga talks Stupid Love and LG6 with Zane Lowe

Lady Gaga took to sitting down withĀ Beats 1Ā to have aĀ conversation withĀ Zane LoweĀ about her new single ā€œStupid Loveā€ and LG6:
ā€œWe are definitely dancing. I put all my heart, all my pain, all my messages from the other realm that I hear of, what they tell me to tell the world and I put it into music that I believe to be so fun and you know, energetically really pure.ā€ and touched on how she hopes the world accepts it ā€œI would like to put out music that a big chunk of the world will hear, and it will become a part of their daily lives and make them happy every single day."
Wrapping up the interview she talked about the involvement on LG6 saying:Ā ā€œYou know how producers are, if one guys working on it or one girls working on it, they donā€™t want anyone else to work on it... these records got passed around to so many different people there were so many different iterations of these songs because we all wanted it to be perfect and literally nobody cared who put their fingerprints on it as long as it was the dopest thing we could give to the world and that it was meaningful, authentic and completely me."
And even debuted someĀ new lyricsĀ from LG6!Ā 
"Every single day, yeah, I dig a grave. Then I sit inside, wondering if Iā€™ll behave.Ā 
Itā€™s a game I play. And I hate to say, youā€™re the worst thing and the best thing thatā€™s happened to me."Ā
