In addition to lending her acting skills to the screen as Lady Gaga plays Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, she also enhances the story of the movie with her soundtrack. The purpose of the album Harlequin is to enhance the film’s themes and melodies while drawing viewers further into the realm of Gotham’s notorious characters. With Gaga’s well-known ability to sing with strength and depth, listeners can anticipate an engrossing audio experience that complements the dramatic tone of the movie.
