Beginning on Friday August 7 at 2pm, and every week throughout the month, Lady Gaga will host a new radio show – "Gaga Radio" – on Apple Music, Pitchfork reports. The first episode will feature BloodPop, a key collaborator on Gaga's most recent solo albums "Chromatica" (2020) and "Joanne" (2016).
In a statement, Gaga explains of the show:
"The last few weeks I've been figuring out different ways at home that I can be of service to what I would call the singular global community, one that I believe to be kind in nature, one that I believe to be very special to my heart and I believe to the hearts of many... And so I've been thinking of all the ways that I can be someone that contributes to the society and the world. I'm super thrilled, excited to have this show and this opportunity to play an incredible mix of music every week."
