Lady Gaga has been named the richest singer and one of the most influential women in the world by Forbes magazine. Her three studio albums, singles and mini-albums have circulated around 100 million copies. Moreover, she is the only performer whose first two singles have sold over 5 million copies.
Lady Gaga recently announced that she will release a new album in 2013. The singer's fans learned about this from her microblog on Twitter and the Little Monsters social network. No release date for the disc was announced, but she clarified that it will most likely be released in the spring.
The album was named Artpop. It is possibly an acronym for the expression "Artistic Revolution Through the Potential of Pop" which is written on the wall of the star's page on Little Monsters. And even before the announcement of the album's release on Twitter, the girl posted a photo of her new tattoo in the form of the ARTPOP inscription on her forearm, commenting on the phrase “New album, new ink”.
As for the content of the upcoming album, the singer admitted that the new material will not be as mature and imbued with a sense of responsibility as Born This Way. It is known that the guitarist of the rock band Whitesnake Doug Eldrich took part in the recording of the disc, and DJ White Shadow is producing. The piano ballad Princess Die has already been prepared, but the singer has not yet decided whether this song will be included in the new album or will sound only at concerts. It is believed that the song Nothing On (But Radio) may become the first single from the new album. There is already a video on the Internet in which Lady Gaga plays this song for her fans. According to the reviews of those who have heard, it was written in the style of heavy dance music, which, however, can be said about all the work of the singer.
In the meantime, the public is speculating about the future album, Lady Gaga is busy with other projects. In the near future, she will present her perfume called Fame, and in the fall she will make her film debut in the film Machete Kills by Robert Rordriguez. In addition, her tour Born This Way continues, during which in December 2012 the pop diva will visit Russia for the first time.
