Lady Gaga unveils the video for “Disease” which accompanies the first extract from her upcoming seventh album. For several months, the American star has been on all fronts. She first made the headlines last July when she participated in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, then she followed up with the promotion of Joker and released the album Harlequin by surprise. At the same time, she scored a musical hit with the single Die With a Smile in duet with Bruno Mars.
I think a lot about my relationship with my own inner demons. It’s never been easy for me to accept how I’m seduced by chaos and upheaval. It makes me feel claustrophobic. “Disease” is about facing that fear, facing myself and my shadow side, and realizing that sometimes I can’t win or escape that part of me that scares me!... I am each actress of the pieces that are my art and my life. (…) The answers are in me. Essential and inextricable parts that make me what I am. I save myself by continuing.
