Lady Gaga knocked us off our feet with her concert special Gaga Chromatica Ball, which came out on HBO this past weekend. In addition to chronicling the journey she embarked on during her most recent tour, Gaga Chromatica Ball also gave us a glimpse of the singer’s next studio album.

When Lady Gaga first teased this concert special, she described her tour as a “colorful revenge”, adding that the chaos of it all became pure energy and life, with a texture best experienced live. Gaga Chromatica Ball was filmed during her performance at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and it premiered on HBO on May 25.

In addition to chronicling the time of immense creativity that Gaga experienced while touring with Chromatica, this concert film also served as a teaser for the singer’s next studio album. She announced its release during the final moments of the film, but she’s been teasing it for quite some time before finally making things official.

She also dropped hints about the follow-up to Chromatica during a Q&A at the Los Angeles premiere of her new HBO concert special. She said her new album is unlike anything she’s ever done before because she loves exploring music and breaking genres.
