Lady Gaga is early into her Joanne World Tour, but the pop superstar is already working on the follow-up to Joanne.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Mother Monster revealed that she has started the writing process for a new album.
"I have a lot of ideas and a lot of things I want to create, so you’ll see in a bit,” she said. “I need some time to create.”
The 31-year-old also defended the lukewarm reception of Joanne.
"You have to be sure about who and what you are, and have that be the most important thing," Gaga explained. "If every time somebody has a comment about what to do or makes a statement about your work, if you shift as if the wind were blowing, [then] you have no perspective or spinal cord as an artist.”
Gaga said all of her albums have stayed true to her identity. "Every single one of my albums — no matter if they were received with critical acclaim, commercial acclaim, or artistic acclaim — every time I plant my feet further into myself, and that is what I believe to be honourable as an artist," she said.
"You fall on the sword always. It's your work, and when I make my work, there's a reason and I think about it and I love it, and that's what matters."
Gaga's tour stops in Montreal on Sept. 4 and in Toronto on Sept. 6 and 7.
