Lady Gaga Releases 'Perfect Illusion' Video

(Radio.com) Lady Gaga has premiered the music video for her new single "Perfect Illusion." The song is the lead single from the popstar's new studio album Joanne, which is slated to be released on October 21.

The video was directed by fashion photographer, filmmaker and longtime Gaga collaborator Ruth Hogben. They two have previously worked together on video footage for the Monster Ball and artRAVE as well as The ARTPOP Ball tours.

"It's a song not only about being upset that a relationship is over, but a song also about being upset and confused that it's so hard to find a real relationship," Gaga tells Radio.com. "And to find a real connection, because we're living in a social media storm right now, where there's so many augmented, filtered, perfect illusions around us that we can't figure out what's authentic and what isn't."
