Lady Gaga Unveils Artwork For New Single From 'ARTPOP' (UPDATED)

Gaga Strips In Artwork For New Single
|

Lady Gaga is working hard to drum up excitement for her new material after months out of the spotlight. The singer's latest move finds her unveiling the artwork for her new single, which will serve as the first release from the upcoming album "ARTPOP."

Gaga tweeted the image, which features her sitting nude on a very technological chair:

The singer will release the song Aug. 19, followed by a live debut on Aug. 25 during an MTV Video Music Awards performance. In the meantime, much speculation is being tossed about in regard to what Gaga's comeback will have in store. Tara Savelo, the "Born This Way" star's makeup artist, recently took to her Little Monsters site to post a photo entitled "Applause," sparking questions as to whether that will be the title of the song.

UPDATE:
Lady Gaga took to Twitter on Sunday to announce that "ARTPOP" will be available for pre-order on August 19. She also confirmed that her first single off of the upcoming album will be called "Applause."
