Lady Gaga has announced a new album, and her first under her birth name -- well, almost. The singer debuted the news of a new record on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show Thursday. The LP, titled "Joanne," will come out Oct. 21 on Streamline/Interscope. The record is titled after Gaga's middle name (she was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta), one she shares with her late aunt. Her family also owns the NYC Italian restaurant Joanne Trattoria.

Let's not bother with a poker face here. Released late Thursday, "Perfect Illusion" is a stomping disco-rock jam with a killer robot-Motown groove, buckets of scuzz-punk guitar fuzz and a key change designed to trigger Pavlovian fist-pumps. It has a melody that will burrow into your brain before the 2-minute mark. And like all the best pop songs, it can't decide if it's sad or happy, paranoid or ecstatic; the tune lifts you up at the same time that it marches over you, a blast of serotonin under constant threat of reuptake. "I don't need eyes to see / I felt you touching me," Lady Gaga sings, her voice fraying at the edges.
