 Lady Gaga New Album, "Chromatica" 

On February 27, Lady Gaga released only one track, her first single “Stupid Love”, from the album.

There is plenty of mystery still surrounding the project, however, there is also plenty of information that fans have been offered since the album was announced back in March.

She previously shared on social media the album tracklist, which will include 16 songs. The album will feature two other massive collaborations with “Sour Candy” with K-pop supergroup Blackpink, and a duet with Sir Elton John titled “Sine From Above.”

Moreover, Lady Gaga recently began teasing her Little Monsters once again, by changing up the layout to her Twitter profile and adding a banner that reads “In Chromatica, no one thing is greater than the other.”

She also posted a cryptic photo that simply read “You’re My Favorite,” with what appeared to be a piece of the photo ripped out.

Lady Gaga was forced to postpone the release of her sixth studio album, which was slated to arrive on April 10, due to Coronavirus.

Gaga was also forced to postpone her Vegas shows at MGM, which was set for late April and early May.

“Chromatica” will be her first studio release since 2016’s “Joanne.”

Gaga announced the news on social media in a lengthy statement, explaining: “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic.”

It is worth mentioning that the novel coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, China, and has infected more than one million people and killed over 234,139 worldwide. It also hit several celebrities and top political figures around the world.

On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 800,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

Coronavirus can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.

It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.

The virus caused complete paralysis in all activities and events with large gatherings worldwide due to concerns over the spread of the virus.
