Lady Gaga Says ‘Joker’ Character Had a ‘Profound Effect’ on Her When Making ‘Harlequin’: ‘She Didn’t Really Leave Me Creatively’


Lady Gaga opens up about how her 'Joker' character inspired her new album, 'Harlequin.'

Lady Gaga wasn’t quite ready to let her Joker: Folie à Deux character go, so she created an accompanying 13-track album titled Harlequin. There, he meets Gaga’s Harleen “Lee” Quinzel, and they form a powerfully chaotic bond with the goal of causing mayhem across Gotham City. The project features covers of old classics — including reimagined showtunes like “Good Morning” ( Singing in the Rain) and “If My Friends Could See Me Now” ( Sweet Charity) — and“celebrates a figure who thrives on danger, who lives for the undefinable, and who embraces the beautiful chaos of her own dreams,” per a press release.
