Lady Gaga Returns to the Studio for ‘LG7’: ‘Happy as Ever Making Music’

Lady Gaga Returns to the Studio for ‘LG7’: ‘Happy as Ever Making Music’

Lady Gaga is giving her Little Monsters a small — but very exciting — update on the status of the long-awaited LG7. The singer posted a series of photos from inside the recording studio on Thursday, assuring fans that new music is officially underway.

“Just me in the studio—happy as ever making music,” she wrote. “Feel so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation. I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on.”


In the photos, Gaga is seen standing and presumably singing behind a microphone. In another shot, she sits at what appears to be the mixing console.

The post received an ecstatic reply from Kesha, who quickly commented, “Feed us, mother!!!!!” Gaga responded with a nod to Kesha’s new single, writing, “Just looking for a joyride .”

Gaga has been slowly testing LG7, which will serve as the follow-up to 2020’s Chromatica. While celebrating her 38th birthday in March, the singer said she has been “writing some of my best music in as long as I can remember” and thanked her fans for their support over the years in an Instagram post. “Thank you thank you thank you for loving me the way you do and for having such a real love for my songs—I’ve been writing pop songs since I was a little girl I can’t believe I still get to do what I love.”

Along with getting back into the studio, Gaga recently announced the revival of her Jazz and Piano show in Las Vegas, where she performs jazz standards and tracks from the Great American songbook. She’s also set to join Fortnite for Fortnite Festival this year. In the years since Chromatica, Gaga has released a few songs, including “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, and she joined the Rolling Stones for “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” last year. She’s also set to star in Joker: Folie à Deux in October.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.
