And, when it comes to \u201crelating to color,\u201d a makeup tutorial account recently posted an interview with Lady Gaga and her makeup artist and Haus Laboratories co-creator, Sarah Tanno-Stewart. In that interview, posted in December, Gaga said \u201c[Gaga\u2019s makeup company] Haus Laboratories is a very colorful place and so is my music,\u201d as well as, \u201cThere will be color, it\u2019ll just come out in ways you might not expect.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bt4DMuRlH8G\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" readability=\"-5.6908212560386\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gaga has said in multiple interviews that she \u201cdiscovered herself through makeup\u201d and that makeup is what inspired the creation of Lady Gaga. She says in the tutorial video: \u201cI looked in the mirror and I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t like what I see and I don\u2019t feel good on the inside, so I\u2019m just gonna start painting now. I\u2019m gonna make something that I like.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, the \u201cStupid Love\u201d art centers around a big pair of glossy, pink lips, and in Gaga\u2019s recent promo for new Haus makeup shades, there\u2019s been lots of pink: pink hair, pink nails and, yes, pink lips. Will there be a merch bundle that allows fans to get the album for a discounted price with a makeup purchase? The idea seems possible.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kx_uCdTRCAw?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As for what we know for sure: \u201cStupid Love\u201d marks Gaga\u2019s first taste of new music since 2018\u2019s acclaimed <em>A Star Is Born<\/em> soundtrack. As far as official Gaga music goes, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/lg6\/\" id=\"auto-tag_lg6\" data-tag=\"lg6\">LG6<\/a> follows 2016\u2019s <em>Joanne<\/em>. After <em>Joanne<\/em>, Gaga had already pivoted away from country-pop to release the standalone single \u201cThe Cure,\u201d which she released just six months later.<\/p>\n<p>Frequent collaborator DJ White Shadow, who is a credited producer on \u201cThe Cure\u201d \u2014 as well as <em>Born This Way, ARTPOP<\/em> and <em>A Star Is Born<\/em> \u2014 is not working on this album. He told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1121733\/born-this-way-and-beyond-the-inside-story-behind-some-of-lady-gaga-s-biggest-hits\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">E! News<\/a>:&nbsp;\u201cI sat this one out. I\u2019ve heard it. It\u2019s not my art to share with you, but I can tell you this, [as] with everything that she does, it\u2019s genius. I\u2019m excited for her to put it out. I think that it\u2019s really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Bloodpop and Tchami produced \u201cStupid Love.\u201d Bloodpop, born Michael Tucker, started working with Gaga on <em>Joanne<\/em>. He\u2019s also known for his work with Justin Bieber \u2014 with whom he co-wrote and producer \u201cSorry,\u201d along with other <em>Purpose<\/em> tracks \u2014 and Madonna. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B8_6A6YHOj0\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">announced the new song\u2019s producers on Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;shortly after Gaga\u2019s post went up.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, BloodPop\u2019s most recent Twitter activity was a retweet of Grimes, who was promoting her new album, <em>Miss Anthropocene<\/em>. BloodPop has produced for Grimes before, on 2014\u2019s \u201cGo,\u201d which he\u2019s also featured on. BloodPop also remixed Grimes\u2019 2019 track, \u201cWe Appreciate Power\u201d \u2014 the original version of which is included on <em>Miss Anthropocene<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Grimes used her Instagram stories in September to reveal a photo of the front and back of a CD case with a photo of Gaga on it. The back, which had an Interscope Records logo on it, included a tracklist. Many fans found it hard to believe that this photo wasn\u2019t doctored, and in looking at it now, \u201cStupid Love,\u201d was not on there. However, a song called \u201cTainted Love,\u201d was listed and it\u2019s very possible that the name could have changed from then to now. If the tracklist is even partially legitimate, that implies a Gaga song that features Grimes could have been recorded. According to that photo, it was titled \u201cReal Boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based on what we can tell from a leaked version of the \u201cStupid Love\u201d \u2014 the existence of which Gaga appears to have humorously <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ladygaga\/status\/1220142182595620865?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1220142182595620865&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.billboard.com%2Farticles%2Fcolumns%2Fpop%2F8548801%2Flady-gaga-song-allegedly-leaks-tweet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">confirmed via Twitter<\/a> \u2014 the song is reminiscent of her <em>ARTPOP<\/em> and <em>Fame<\/em> eras. Almost half of the setlist for Gaga\u2019s Vegas residency, Enigma, is made up of songs from <em>The Fame<\/em> or <em>The Fame Monster<\/em>. The next leg of Enigma kicks off on April 30th and ends on May 16th. Could the new album come in tandem or in advance of that?<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s Mark Ronson, who executive-produced <em>Joanne<\/em> and co-wrote smash hit \u201cShallow.\u201d He posted a photo of Gaga and him to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B8ZXR2TAdQ3\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> on February 10th, captioning it, \u201cIt\u2019s stupid how much I love this pic.\u201d This makes us wonder if he\u2019s involved as well.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, it appears that the album is done \u2014 and, according to Grimes, it\u2019s good. Last week, the musician <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ryanleejohnson\/status\/1230971440750571525\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in a video<\/a>, \u201cLG6 is very good.
