Lady Gaga announced release of new album ‘Joanne’

Joanna was an aunt of the little Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga’s real name), who died in 1974 from lupus at the age of 19.

“As I returned to my home life and spending time with my friends and family and getting out of the mainstream limelight for a minute, the experiences of our family and our challenges that make us who we are. It’s everything about Joanne … it’s all the toughness of the pain of losing her that made us all strong and made us who we are. She is the woman of my past who is becoming and helping me bring more of my honest woman self into the future.”

The first track ‘Perfect Illusion’ from the upcoming album was published on September 9. It is known that the work on musical material was attended by many colleagues of Lady Gaga, including Elton John, Florence Welch (their duo will enter new album), composer Hillary Lindsey, producer Mark Ronson, RedOne, Diane Warren.

The regular version of the album will include 11 songs (deluxe — 14 tracks), including compositions ‘John Wayne’ and ‘Sinner’s Prayer’. However, the number of songs in the official release may be different, the singer explained.
