Is that really you, Lady Gaga? We almost didn’t recognise the multimillion-selling artist when the first snaps of her new single cover landed on our desks.

Mother monster has turned male for the brand new, black and white artwork, soon to be seen adorning the front of the Lady’s latest hit You & I.

The long-awaited new single hits shelves in a matter of days, and over the weekend the outlandish songstress released the very first sneak peak of the single cover, to her little monsters on Twitter.

And what a surprise it was.

The global superstar revived her male alter ego Jo Calderone for the shoot, showing off a sleek quiff, sideburns and dressing in a sharp suit.

We first met Gaga’s manly other half during last year, when the singer posed for a Vogue Hommes Japan shoot in her male guise.

And now he seems set to earn his own place in the spotlight, with rumours already doing the rounds that Gaga could step out as Calderone at MTV’s upcoming Video Music Awards.

Revealing the video to accompany her latest single would be released as her 1000th Tweet, she Tweeted: ‘You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don’t love yourself. #You&ISingleCover.’
