Lady Gaga has revealed a surprise drop of a 13-track album to accompany her new film, Joker: Folie à Deux, titled Harlequin.

The tracklist suggests the album will include covers of songs that feature in the film such as Get Happy and Oh, When the Saints, while tracks titled The Joker, Folie à Deux, and Happy Mistake appear to be new songs.
Gaga stars as Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn (also called 'Lee', in this film), opposite Joaquin Phoenix, which is a sequel to the 2019 movie, with the character meeting Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) at Arkham State Hospital.
The latest trailer gave fans another glimpse of the musical nature of the film, and showed both Phoenix and Gaga singing briefly, with Joker first providing a rendition of For Once in My Life before he is seen joining Harley Quinn in a duet of Get Happy.
Music might be a big part of the upcoming film's DNA, but director Todd Phillips has said he is hesitant to call it a musical, previously telling Variety: "Most of the music in the movie is really just dialogue. It's just Arthur not having the words to say what he wants to say, so he sings them instead."
He continued: "I just don't want people to think that it's like In the Heights, where the lady in the bodega starts to sing and they take it out onto the street, and the police are dancing. No disrespect, because I loved In the Heights."
But when will Harlequin be released? Read on for everything you need to know about the album set to accompany Joker 2.
Lady Gaga Harlequin album release date
Harlequin will be released on Friday 27th September, a week before the release of Joker 2.
The pop singer revealed the release date in a post on Twitter, which was recently re-branded as X, in which she wrote: "Harlequin. September 27. A companion album to Joker: Folie à Deux."
