“I am putting out an album this year. I won’t tell you when, but it is coming out this year,” she told reporters on the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 10. “Will it reflect my outer appearance … that’s a difficult thing to say as I don’t know that you yet know what I will look like for my next album. I am still creating all those things. It is something that is a gradual change that is always with me.”
This will be Gaga’s first album since her 2014 collaboration with Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek. After the critical and commercial disappointment of 2013’s Applause, Gaga briefly stepped out of the spotlight, during which she released classy and classic Cheek to Cheek, got engaged to longtime boyfriend Taylor Kinney and ventured into acting.
