Gaga and Mars Release 'Die With a Smile' Duet Video

The anticipated duet “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars has been finally released. Depending on the classic vibes of country music from the legendary era of Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, the video went live at midnight ET tonight, August 16. The duo, dressed in the 1960s style of the Grand Ole Opry, performs as a couple in vibrant red and blue as they serenade their audience. Mars plays the guitar from the musical variety TV show of the classic country days, and Gaga in turn teases her hair and puts a cigarette in her mouth to play the piano, giving a modern country twist to the classical soul. As the lyrics explore the themes of a post-apocalyptic relationship as well as the final times and goodbyes, Gaga’s chemistry with Mars is tangible and story-driven.

The debut did not end on the video: yesterday, the duet joined the concert in the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles in Mars’ residence, where the audience and fans alike were treated to a special surprise its performance once again . The collaboration is not only a special event for both musicians and rising stars in their already-admirable careers but also a sneak peek at Gaga’s next and seventh studio album, promising fans more music to look forward to. The announcement was made just before the duet was published, having well-deserved the recognition the duet is to attract with its fresh and multifaceted content.
