Your support makes all the difference.Lady Gaga has unveiled the first single from her forthcoming fifth album, and an accompanying video in which she transforms into an intergalactic punk warrior.
“Stupid Love” is a disco-inspired pop track that brings to mind Gaga’s earlier, more electronic work.
Its video sees the Oscar winner dressed in a hot-pink, space-age ensemble, as she dances and spreads peace on a distant land.
The single also introduces a new mythology that will presumably serve as the background to her new album, set on the otherworldly planet of Chromatica.
“The world rots in conflict,” a title card begins. “Many tribes battle for dominance. While the Spiritual ones pray and sleep for peace, the Kindness punks fight for Chromatica.”
Chromatica is also speculated to be the title of Gaga’s new album, though its release date is currently unknown.
“Stupid Love” was previously leaked online in January and spread rapidly in Gaga fandom, leading Gaga herself to tweet: “Can y’all stop”.
The officially released version of the song remains exactly the same as its leaked incarnation, and is the star’s first new music since the wildly successful soundtrack for A Star is Born.
