Lady Gaga is back! She just released a new photo for her new single, ‘Applause’ to be released on August 19.”Artwork for new single ‘Applause’ comes tonight on @womensweardaily’s site for coverprint on newstands 2moro. Photography Inez+Vinoodh -GAGA.” What do you think of her new album artwork so far? I am loving the water color look in the image above! Gaga recorded a video for the new song according to MTV.
She shot the video in L.A. last week and was directed by Van Lamsweerde and Matadin. Gaga talks about the shot above, in which she has her hair warped in a black head wrap. “It’s the end of the night after the show. When I look at it I see that there is a longing for the applause. I see that there is a void that is leaking onstage, that the performer is leaking, that the art is sort of becoming something else in front of your eyes. Something more human, something more honest.” Gaga said she was near tears during the shoot that produced the image
She also dished on the song itself, which she co-wrote with DJ White Shadow. “I’ll tell you that it is very fun. And that it’s full of happiness, because what I’m saying in the song essentially is that I live for the applause. I live for the way you cheer and scream for me. Give me that thing that I love. Put your hands up, make them touch. In my heart of hearts as I was writing, I knew that if I asked [the fans] to cheer for me before I sang or if I alluded to the fact that they would cheer for me before I sang … They do that all the time for me; before I even open my mouth, the fans start cheering for me,” she continued. “And so this exclamation, ‘Give me that thing that I love. Give it to me. I’m ready, start the music.’ ”
