Lady Gaga lit up the newswire yesterday when she announced her surprise project, ‘Harlequin.’

Set for release this Friday (September 27), the effort serves as a companion album for ‘Joker 2: Folie à Deux’ (due October 4).

Aptly titled, the LP will see Gaga deliver fresh material through the lens of her character in the film Harley Quinn.

Prior to the project’s formal announcement, teaser promos touted it as ‘LG6.5’ – a bridge of sorts between 2020’s chart-topping ‘Chromatica’ and the performer’s incoming 7th album.

Mother Monster has unlocked a titillating new teaser to whet appetites further.

Filmed in Paris at the world-famous Louvre Museum, the clip previews music from ‘Harlequin’ as Gaga comes face-to-face with the Mona Lisa – who she adorns with a Joker-like smile.

The clip also functions as a teaser for the ‘Figures Of The Fool’ exhibition, which runs from October 16, 2024 to February 3, 2025.

Exciting! The song is a blazer too!

Of the exhibition, The Louvre website shares:

“Fools are everywhere. But are the fools of today the same as the fools of yesteryear? This fall, the Musée du Louvre is dedicating an unprecedented exhibition to the myriad figures of the fool, which permeated the pictorial landscape of the 13th to the 16th centuries. Over the course of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the fool came to occupy every available artistic space, insinuating himself into illuminated manuscripts, printed books and engravings, tapestries, paintings, sculptures, and all manner of objects both precious and mundane. His fascinating, perplexing and subversive figure loomed large in the turmoil of an era not so different from our own.”
