Lady Gaga New Music Single and Cover Art Release, Dates and ‘ARTPOP’ Album Info [UPDATE]

Lady Gaga has announced the release date of her new music single and has provided fans with the cover art for “Applause.” The song will be off of her upcoming album ARTPOP, which will be released later in the year. We have you covered with all the latest info and updates until then.

July 26 was as big day for all the Little Monsters out there. Gaga officially released the deets of her new single, “Applause” and provided fans with the artwork from the upcoming single.

The National Post took on the cover and offered insight into the brain of Gaga:

“The artsy tone of the Applause cover image fits into Gaga’s canon of work which can be considered performance art in the form of fashion and popular music. The most obvious examples include her meat dress at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and her arrival at the 2011 Grammy Awards in an egg. Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, often writes about the nature of celebrity and fame, most notably with her 2008 debut The Fame and 2009 EP The Fame Monster. In 2011, she told The Guardian, ‘When I was really young, I was fascinated by performance artists.’”

Lady Gaga loves to announce her projects via social media and her upcoming album is no different. The popstar phenom broke the news of her newest projects first via Facebook, telling fans about her new app:

"The ARTPOP app is Free, available in App Stores on your device. You can purchase the music through the ARTPOP app once it's downloaded. Or you can purchase the album at the music store+download the free app separately at the app store.

Built by TechHAUS, the technological branch of HAUS OF GAGA, the app itself is a musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion, and technology with a new worldwide community — ‘the auras.’ Altering the human experience with social media, we bring ARTCulture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition.”
