I am in need of new Lady gaga material.
Stache is not bad, but it isn't great either, so I also hope that's not an indication of the music in Artpop.
I have some curiosity on what she can do with Zedd and Madeon. Red One, meh, not so much...
I thought Stache was a 'joke' song that she did?
I'm looking forward to it, I just hope it's a bit "lighter" than BTW - the music should really match the title of the album. I'd be happy for big production like BTW, but content and "mood" of The Fame/The Fame Monster
I'm looking forward to the album though.
As for ARTPOP. She really needs to get the first single right and hit the ground running this time. It will sell but I think sales will be down on TF,TFM and BTW. Like someone said above. She has done almost everything in such a short space of time that her act will have become boring to the casuals now. She will be a victim of her own success in the long run. Much like Prince and Cyndi Lauper.
The jazz album is where its at but she needs to change her name within the next five years if she wants to stick around. There is really nothing wrong with using Stefani. It will make her connect with people better as she gets older and she needs that if she wants to remain popular over time. Teenagers of tomorrow are not going to find a 30 year old calling herself 'Lady Gaga' cool. So is she heading for problems on that front as well. Frankly the name is a naff term that worked for a moment in time but won't long term.
Yes too many of those about, what happened to when you used to support an artist even through the bad times.
This is because she is such a fan of herself and because of this she gives too much away to early. There is no surprise element. Too many leaks, teasers and peaks, and by the time the songs are revealed one has heard 'em.
Look how Bowie was stone cold silent for two years, as he was recording his album. And before we knew it, it was the the complete first single, the video, the album artwork and title.
She is supposed to admire him, so perhaps she can take notes on how to do it.
Perhaps she learned her lesson then.
That's a good question. It seems music has become a fad for some people. Then you get types who won't listen to a song that came out a few months ago because they think it's "well old" :rolleyes: What does it matter what decade the song is from? I listen to stuff I like, no matter what decade it's from. If I like it, I'll listen to it. If I don't like it, I won't listen to it.
Other than that, it's been next to nothing, there is the Azealia Banks collaboration but she revealed that not Gaga. In comparison to Born This Way, she has remained tight-lipped and I think it will suit the era better
And as has been said, I don't think we really know much about this album other than it's title (revealed way too soon I agree) and the duet with Azealia Banks (:rolleyes:). Then there are the rumours/potential ideas of White Roses, Disney Princesses, Decay of a Popstar, Rachet etc but because I haven't followed the album's creation I don't know what has become of them.
With all the plagiarism she is accused of one would think she would also come up with a more original title as well.
She is all about the look, her songs are nothing different and are not very memorable.
BTW sold about 65% less than TF/TFM with around 5,000,000. Artpop is destined to sell less than that. I'd bet around 2m.
It's very unfair to compare Born This Way's sales to The Fame / Monsters when the later two are albums (which had their own budgets, singles and world tours) that had their sales joined together. There was never a Born This Way: Reborn and so it's sales should be compared to The Fame and Monsters individual successes, and when you do that there really isn't such a dramatic drop at all (although admittedly there still was one).
Born This Way is also closer to 6 million then 5, with 5.4m copies sold in 2011 and an extra 400,000 sold in the first half of last year (I can't tell you how much it sold in the second half of 2012 as the album had left the WW Top 40 Best Sellers by the December chart). So that is at least 5.8m copies sold, and so with that in mind, plus the fact people are always saying the Born This Way failed to connect with the general public and was fan-supported, I really do not see her losing the 4m fans needed for ARTPOP to only sell a total of 2m at all. Especially when Rihanna, who has a very fluctuating fanbase and album sales that go up and down like a roller coaster, can at the very least always sell 3m+.
