![]() I'm not sure what has happened to Gaga but whatever it is, I hope she takes a step back and stops taking I'm so disappointed. The songs sound messy and unfinished, her "operatic" style vocals are cringeworthy and it's just too much of nothing. This album is disjointed with atrocious lyrics and the same style and production of her previous records, most notably the Born This Way album. I still love Gaga but this album just doesn't do her talent justice. Many reviews are just hatred of Gaga without any substance and others are pure love that would never think anything Mother Monster do could be bad. Pay close attention to the reviews you read. I personally think Aura, Applause and Swine are strong entries but most everything else is forgettable. There is very little this album offers to fans or non fans alike. I encourage female artists to explore their sexuality, lord knows American society needs women in control of it, but I don't want every song to be about it. So much of the album is a plea to the listener "I am super sexual and I want you to see me as a sex icon". When you hear the lyrics, they are boring and the same across nearly every song. You get overpowering beats that just come off as messy. ![]() ARTPOP takes a step backward and is almost purely a techno/trance album. Many people felt betrayed because she was no longer focused on just making pop music with catchy hooks, where others felt it was her growing into what she was meant to be. This approach was met with mixed reactions. She began showing her rock n' roll side, started to venture into more aggressive beats and showed growth as an artist. She showed in "Born This Way" that she wasn't purely going to be a pop princess. ![]() We've been waiting 2 1/2 years for a new Gaga album and what we got instead was Zedd's new album featuring Gaga. Which is why it pains me to say ARTPOP isn't very good. I will buy the most expensive concert ticket possible to be up close. I will annoy my Facebook friends with more news than they would ever care to hear. I will buy a magazine just because it has her face on it and I can add it to my collection. We've been waiting 2 1/2 years for a You will not find a bigger Gaga fan than me. ![]() For both Jay-Z and Gaga, much remains to be seen, but what we do know is that the next few months will be full of art, pop, performance, and big collaborations between the art and music worlds.You will not find a bigger Gaga fan than me. While we are looking forward to whatever Lady Gaga has in store individually or collectively with these artists, we are also welcoming a moment where musicians are placing their work in the realm of performance art. Photography duo Inez & Vinoodh also directed her "Yoü And I" series of fashion films and photographed her for V magazine. The end of the announcement says that on November 10, Gaga will host "an evening of artRave exhibiting Haus of Gaga's projects as well as collaborations with Inez & Vinoodh, Robert Wilson, M arina Abramovic, and Jeff Koons." Yes, you read that correctly-collaborations with four of the biggest names in art for her upcoming project.Ĭould these collaborations be anything like the one Jay-Z did with Marina Abramovic yesterday at Pace Gallery in New York? Could the app be anything like Björk's Biophilia app from October 2011, corresponding with the release of her album at the time? Perhaps, but regardless, Gaga has repeatedly stated that she's an artist first and previously collaborated with visual artists like Nick Knight, Steven Klein, and Terence Koh. Her album/app promises to be "a musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion, and technology with a new interactive worldwide community-'the auras.'" Described as "a reverse Warholian expedition" (in contrast to the Candy Warhol visual from her Fame Monster tour?), the project also promises to "bring the music industry into a new age an age where art drives pop, and the artist once again is in control of the 'icon.'" Last night, despite a note presently in her Twitter bio that her account "has been shut down temporarily," Gaga supposedly had a private listening dinner party and announced an August 19 single release, September 1 album/app pre-order, and November 11 album/app release for her new, long-awaited album, ARTPOP. Her most recent public appearance post-hip surgery was to give a speech and sing the National Anthem at a pride rally in New York City on June 28. Lady Gaga has been quiet for most of 2013.
