Lady Gaga quits marijuana. Teases return to pop roots in new album

Artists are increasingly asserting that the era of "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" is over. More and more musicians are declaring "cleanliness" and completely giving up substances, including alcohol.

Lady Gaga made a similar declaration in an interview with "Vogue". The singer shared that at a certain point in her career, she decided to quit smoking marijuana. She added that marijuana had been with her on stage for a long time and that she used it to soothe pain. She mentioned that it all started with a broken hip on the "Born This Way" tour approximately ten years ago. It wasn't until the concerts for the "Chromatica" album that the artist had a "revelation".

Lady Gaga emphasised that her fiancé, Michael Polansky, accompanied her on the tour and "went through it together." She also mentioned that during that time, she felt awful mentally and was in a "dark place." The support of her partner helped her, among other things. "I did it without pain! I haven’t smoked weed in years. I've changed. A lot," - the artist added.

Pop lovers can already pop the champagne because Lady Gaga announced that her new album will be released in February 2025. What does this mean? Among other things, the first singles promoting the eighth album of the American singer will be released soon.

The artist emphasises that it was her partner, Michael Polansky, who pushed her back towards pop, saying that he "sees a fire in her." What will Lady Gaga's new music be like? "Vogue" describes the upcoming track as intense and in the style of old-school Gaga. Will we have a nostalgic return to the fragmented pop of "The Fame" era, or perhaps an iconic reminiscence of "Born This Way"? In the best case – "Artpop" will get the justice it deserves. WE'RE WAITING.
