Can you taste the anticipation? We can!

Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ has fans and critics salivating in equal measure — and with good reason too. Billed as more of a movement than a traditional album, the project is unique in that so much, yet so little is known about it.

Continuing to whet appetites, Mother Monster unveiled a fresh promotional shot for the set (due November 11th) moments ago.

Again, we’re not yet sure what we’re supposed to be looking at nor how it relates to ‘ARTPOP’ visually. However, it’s safe to say we’ll acquire an answer of sorts when the song and video for its lead single ‘Applause’ arrives on August 19th.
