Lady Gaga is picking up the pace for LG6!
The Pop titan uncaged new single ‘Stupid Love’ today, which serves as the premiere taste of her sixth studio effort.
With a speculated title of ‘Chromatica,’ the set is Mother Monster’s first solo body of work since 2016’s ‘Joanne.’
To celebrate the release of ‘Love,’ she called into Beats1 radio to chat with Zane Lowe.
During the candid chat, she opened up about the creative process of making the song and its housing album, finally working with Max Martin, and her overall dance agenda this go round.
Listen below…

On The Sound Of Her New Album:
“We are definitely dancing… I put all my heart, all my pain, all my messages from the other realm that I hear of… what they tell me to tell the world and I put it into music that I believe to be so fun and you know, energetically really pure. I want people to dance and feel happy. I would like to put out music that a big chunk of the world will hear, and it will become a part of their daily lives and make them happy every single day.”
On The Process Of Making Her New Album:
“We made a lot of the record in my studio house. So I have a house where it’s Frank Zappa’s old studio, it’s a live room, it’s a big studio, it’s beautiful. And I would be upstairs on the porch, outside the kitchen, and Bloodpop would come up and he’d go, ‘Okay, come on, that’s enough, off the porch,’ and I would cry and I would say, ‘I’m miserable, I’m sad, I’m depressed,’ and he’d go, ‘I know, and we’re gonna go make some music now. And then I’d go downstairs and I would write. This album is such a display of not only how you can reframe the way that you view the world, but I promise and I hope, that the love that was around me in the process of making this album is something that other people feel, that they know that artistically, like, you know how producers are, if one guy’s working on it, or one girl’s working on it, they don’t want anyone else to work on it, they don’t wanna share, they, everybody gets cocky, there was none of that. These records got passed around to so many different people, there were so many different iterations of these songs because we all wanted it to be perfect and literally nobody cared who put their fingerprints on it, as long as it was the dopest thing that we could give to the world and that it was meaningful, authentic, and completely me.”
On Working With Max Martin For The First Time On ‘Stupid Love’:
“He’s an amazing producer. I’ve never worked with him, I’ve always sort of gone, ‘I write my own music, I produce myself, I don’t need to work with Max, right?’ And I decided to stop being an asshole, meet him at least, you know? Basically, I sang over a track that BloodPop made. We sent over what I sang to Max, Max picked some parts out, sent it back to me, and then I wrote lyrics and used some of the melody that he chose that he sent back to me and I kind of spliced it all together and then I went to his studio, and sat down at a piano and I played ‘Stupid Love’ on a piano with chords. And I looked at him and I said, ‘That’s what I’ve got for you,’ and to me, this song can only stand on it’s two feet, even with a great track, if you can play it on a piano and it still sounds like a hit. And he was-he was like, I love it, get in the booth. I warmed up my voice, got in the booth, I sang it, and what you’re hearing on ‘Stupid Love’ is what we did that day.”
*************
Interesting tidbits across the board.
Having skewed oh so mellow on ‘Joanne,’ we welcome the return of the high-octane, club-geared Gaga.
With ‘Stupid Love’ here and tea on the album poured, are you excited for LG6?
By “we’re” she must mean her multiple personalities because from the comments I’m seeing about this song from the GP, nobody likes it. Return to sender.
the thing is people can talk about it on this site or twitter but majority are supporting her. she’s doing good with streams, sales and radio. this one is a top 10 for sure. say what you say
Top 10? Lol. Honey, she’ll get top 20 if she’s lucky with this. This is worse than perfect illusion and that barely hit the top 20
How ironic for a f******* Stan to make irrelevant comments about superstar Gaga when in fact his fave is a flop and no talent. At least Gaga has pipes and accolades that your fave will never have in her entire career.Making bad comments about Gaga and Camila will not stop f******* from flopping.
Honey, my favorite artist is Britney Jean Spears. Back up.
Girl, no. Hype it up with your pretentious drivel all you want to make it appear deeper than it is, but it isn’t.
it just music… you people need to chill
Exactly, it’s just music, yet she hypes it up as though it’s the second coming of Christ.
Shayla I’m living for you queen!!! We’re on the same page again. Not sure why some of these fans are acting like this song is something special. I’ve heard people opening cans of soda that sound better than this song.
Lady Gaga Talks New Album: “We’re FLOPing”
*flopping
And never as much as Bey…
she doesn’t know what flopping is because her soundtrack album went number 1 and so did Shallow. Joanne also went number 1 like for real? homegirl stays getting hits, grammys, nominations, praise etc.
She knows what the f*** flopping is especially since artflop was the start of her career decline. She’s already starting this era off like it’s artflop 2 so she’ll be reminded what flopping is soon enough. She won’t get anymore #1 singles. Periodt
Lady Gaga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 The one and ONLY Lady Gaga! PAWS UP! 🙂
PERIODT
She also saved me from basic ass Dua Lipa! There I said it…..haha. If I want to hear Physical I will turn on the 80’s classic! 🙂
YEEES!!! THIS! https://youtu.be/TzyYbtwtKgc
I love the new single. It did make me happy listening to it on the train today. Made me want to dance and LIVE! ?
Max worst produce song!
I think everything he did on Katy’s “witness” album is worse than this, but this is definitely close second
Working with Max Martin is a wrong choice for Gaga. She lost her own sound on the track stupid love. Should’ve team up with RedOne again. Hopefully she won’t end up like Christina Aguilera who was desperate for hits and was forced to work with max Martin.
Karma might just be nail-tapping on Stephanie’s door.
Christina was desperate for hits so she was FORCED to work with Max? Make it make sense chile
Forced by RCA, indeed. The label thought her own co-written material lacked a hit. Enter Max Martin. Hence why Xtina hates performing the song: she gets no royalties off of it.
But the kii is the songs max did for Xtina are some of her best songs.
So RCA was desperate for hits, not Christina.
She never really wanted to work with Max to begin with.
The “other realm” speaks to her? Hmm … I know she has a susceptible-to-see-spirits Scorpio moon and lots of one-foot-here-one-foot-in-another-psychic-dimension Pisces … but dang! That other realm has şhittý taste if they had her pick this song as first single. ??
This will F L O P
The video is definitely “stupid,” but I think the song fits her well.
Saved us from Ke$ha’s trailer park trash ?
Stop???????
You are not a tastemaker, go cry! 🙂 Copycat bish!
Nobody will be a hypocrite in 2020 on my watch. Iggy Azalea FLOPPED!
The real Lady Gaga fans who were put through hell by devils with no taste will not win. Lady Gaga is a tastemaker.
Mister Gaga is an ugly rat
Rats have better features than PIGS. 🙂
This song is going to excite the New York clubs tonight! LGBTQ clubs will play it 3 times in a row! haha
