Following last week’s release of “Stupid Love”, Lady Gaga has now confirmed the title and release date of her new album. The pop singer’s fifth full-length is called Chromatica and will arrive on April 10th.
As Gaga explained in an interview with Beats 1 Radio, Chromatica is a sort of ethos she conceptualized during a particularly bleak period in her life. “Sound is what healed me in my life period, and it healed me again making this record, and that is really what Chromatica is all about,” she commented.
“I think what I’ve learned is that I can view the world in whatever way I choose to see it, and it, it doesn’t mean that I’m deleting the bad things, it just means that I can reframe my life experiences and reframe the way that the world frames life experiences to a way that I love and believe in, and that’s, that is Chromatica,” Gaga added. “I live on Chromatica, that is where I live. I went into my frame – I found earth, I deleted it. Earth is canceled. I live on Chromatica.”
Furthermore, Gaga explained, Chromatica conveys the idea of inclusivity through music. “The symbol for Chromatica has a signwave in it, which is the mathematical symbol for sound, and it’s from what all sound is made from, and, for me, sound is what healed me in my life period, and it healed me again making this record, and that is really what Chromatica is all about. It’s about healing and it’s about bravery as well and it’s really like, when we talk about love I think it’s so important to include the fact that it requires a ton of bravery to love someone.”
