Lady Gaga releases album “Harlequin”, inspired by her character “Joker”

Lady Gaga has released a new album titled “Harlequin” featuring songs inspired by her character in the upcoming film “Joker: Folie À Deux,” in which she stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix as Lee, a reimagining of Harley Quinn .

The songs are almost all classic American Songbook favorites like “Get Happy,” “That’s Life” and “That’s Entertainment,” except for two angsty Gaga originals, one of which features the latter half of the title. of the film.

The vibe of “Harlequin” is similar to that of the two albums she recorded with the late, Grammy-winning Tony Bennett – “Cheek to Cheek” and “Love for Sale,” although here the songs are performed with a instrumentation both rock and jazz. Gaga teased the album earlier this week with billboards reading “LG 6.5,” which seemed to indicate that “Harlequin” is not her upcoming full-length studio album, which will be her seventh.

The Showtunes are reportedly part of the film, which will be released on October 4, but it is reasonable to expect that the film versions of the songs featured in the film will be different from those featured on this album.

“Harlequin” was announced just a few days ago and came as a surprise since Gaga had announced the October release of the first single from her upcoming, as-yet-untitled full-length studio album, which she says will arrive in February.
