Lady Gaga’s new single coincides with her appearance in episode seven of the show’s second season.
WASHINGTON — Lady Gaga is in Netflix’s “Wednesday.”
And to celebrate her debut in the Addams Family-reboot show, Gaga dropped her new song, “the Dead Dance,” with a Tim Burton-directed music video.
The music video hit Youtube and streaming platforms, fittingly, on Wednesday morning.
Lady Gaga’s new single coincides with her appearance in episode seven of the show’s second season. And it’s a surprise new drop, considering it’s only been a few months since she released her seventh studio album, “Mayhem,” in March.
The music video is mostly in black and white, invoking the memory of old-school horror movies. It opens with Gaga posed next to a bunch of creepy dolls, before she begins dancing in a jerking way like a zombie freshly risen from the grave.
Despite the song’s catchiness, it’s unlikely her dance moves will replace the now-iconic dance Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday performs during the first season of the show.
Lady Gaga’s seventh album, Mayhem, dropped on March 7. The mainly synth-pop inspired record blends a blur of genres.
And fans who have listened already might notice a new track when they open the album in Spotify. The new song, the Dead Dance, was added to the album in a digital reissue, becoming the album’s third single.
Wednesday stars the titular Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, as she solves mysteries and uncovers the secrets of Nevermore Academy. Lady Gaga’s character is Rosaline Rotwood, the ghost of a former teacher at the school.
Gaga is no stranger to acting, performing a starring role in 2018’s “A Star Is Born” and “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
