In the modern age of technology which is led mostly by social media, Lady Gaga aspires one thing - "to return to a time when people connect without digital barriers". The multi-Grammy winner hopes that through her fifth and upcoming album "Joanne", people will bring back the human connection for her and her fans' sake.
An article by E! Online shared Lady Gaga's E! News interview where she revealed her new album's objective - "to find that human connection with world in a deeper way".
"I kept envisioning this girl in the middle of the country somewhere crying her eyes out in the field with a drink in her hand and her kid in the other, going, 'I can't believe that Lady Gaga understands how I feel,'" the pop superstar said.
More than being an accomplished performer, Lady Gaga believes that through music, she is able to build a connection with her fans.
"The truth is I want nothing more for both myself and for other people than human connection and love. I just want to be closer to not only my fans, but other people and to build a relationship with them through the music where they know that I'm their sister, know that I'm their friend," according to the 30-year-old singer's interview with E! News.
Lady Gaga has also lived up to this goal. She recalls how she personally engaged with collaborators in the process of making her new album "Joanne".
She added, "I ended up making great friends with all of the musicians that I worked with making the album and they reminded me that I could still have that [human connection]. The album came from me building connections to them and then working on creating music that would further help me do that with others."
But for her, the foremost connection that has inspired her album would be her late aunt and sister of her father, Joanne Stefani Germanotta, who died at the age of 19 due to lupus.
Lady Gaga's fifth and new album "Joanne" is scheduled to be released on Oct. 21. She will kick off promotion by going back to her roots and will be performing in dive bars.
According to Rolling Stone, the singer's upcoming tour titled "Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour" will begin on Oct. 5 at an undisclosed U.S. dive bar.
