Looks like the plan with DWUW is slow and steady.
It's being officially sent for adds (to stations) next week, although it's already had a very promising start on radio (will probably be her biggest hit considering the multi-format appeal). There's the YouTube Awards, SNL and AMAs set for November, so hopefully we're talking major R Kelly performances.
They don't appear to be in a rush to get a video sorted, or even put out a lyric video, so I guess they're hoping for longevity and use them as staggered boosts. (Although a lyric video ASAP is a good idea for streaming).
It's actually quite nice for things to not be so front-loaded and instantly make-or-break for her these days. Obviously it'd be great to have both instant high peaks and longevity, but Rome wasn't (re)built in a day.

Maybe they'll shoot the video for DWYW at the YouTube awards? I heard she's filming a video there with Spike Jonze?
She's releasing Dope, the last promo single on Nov 4th (this Monday) and here's the cover art for it: pic.twitter.com/iTCHRy5HeA
I kinda like it - it's weird but funny, bit out there but for a promo single, yeah I kinda like it. Can't wait to hear the song and see how much it's changed from I just wanna be with you.
She's also hosting and performing on SNL on 16th Nov I think, so we have that, plus YouTube Awards, AMA (24th Nov), ARTrave, and Graham Norton to look forward to, amongst other things I've probably forgotten!

YEAH loads on the way.
Again, agreed glad that this campaign is not front loaded...in fact its been so much lighter than any previous one she has done which is great...with teasers being prominant, a few select appearences/performances....and high profile ones at that too....focusing on the media/marketing of her music too.
And also assuring the ebst is yet to come too..and with select high profile interviews/performances coming up...award shows and ehr artRAVE across November...it all looks set to secure strong first week sales and longevity for the latter part of this year for definite.
And with no massive competition irectly for a short while it will be very beneficial too. But i did hope that DWUW would have a lyric vid out there for TV circulation...as they do do that too...but alas...no real rush it will benefit the album in the long run
And i love the DOPE cover...you can tell she had fun in this photoshoot! Cant wait to hear it...thinvs are only beginning now! Plus love seeing her out and about in London.

I can't wait to see what happens at the artrave! I have no idea what it's all about! I think she said she's doing a performance piece with Marina but I can't remember... Isn't the actual sculpture being unveiled then too?
I think she's doing well with promo too - last album she was absolutely everywhere doing every interview show and all that stuff. We still have a lot this album, but it's more spaced out and selective I feel. I can't wait to see her on Graham Norton and SNL should be cool too, I liked her skits last time. Plus there's the Muppet Thanksgiving Special where she's performing a lot of songs I think.
And we can totally stream the album soon on iTunes so that's cool too! I can't wait to hear all the songs that are unheard so far - like Donatella, Fashion... actually that's it right? Those are the only two??

Also: Troy Carter (Gaga's manager) with an interesting interview about the launch of ARTPOP and their approach http://www.propagaga.com/2013/10/31/...tegy-linkedin/
Really interesting interview that she did in Berlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu1_g8vCI3Y
Well worth a watch I think!

It's good, but will need to hear it in full. Only 2 minutes or so.
Very campy and brassy. The lyrics are a bit...dodgy in places, though. Can't really work out what she says in parts, but it's LQ audio. Almost sounds like Work Bitch at times.
People in Japan have ARTPOP and there's been pictures of the back cover and booklet, it's gonna leak any minute now I should imagine.
I will download it, but choose just three songs I have been anticipating, and will wait until the 11th for the actual album

Not sure what to make of Donatella yet just cos I can't hear anything very clearly - I'll reserve judgement until a HQ clip comes out.
The album is available to stream on Monday on iTunes anyway I think - so we'll be able to hear the album soon at any rate. I feel like I already know half the album pretty well already (my own fault I guess, I couldn't stop listening to Sexxx Dreams or ManiCure) but I'm excited to hear it in full. I've been enjoying her interviews of late, the ones in London especially she came across pretty well I thought!

The album is leaking now.
I think I will do what I said and listen to 3 (maybe 4) songs from it. I am definitely not listening to it in full because I love nothing more than having the CD and discovering it for a first time! But seeing as we had swinefest etc, I feel a bit more content to do this haha

It will leak today, not sure when though, about an hour ago the person with the booklet etc said "coming in an hour" but that time is up now.
I will listen to a small selection, that'll tide me over

I think the person that wrote that then said they won't leak it. But still if it's out in Japan then it'll be uploaded at some point.
'Gypsy' 'Sexxx Dreams' and 'Manicure' have now leaked.
I've only listened to 'Sexxx Dreams', I really like it, it's similar to how she performed it but I have to say I am disappointed the "we were in the swimming pool/I was naked so were you" part was cut

Manicure leak: http://jabenplusmuziktunesp1.tumblr....08/06-manicure
Sex Dreams: http://jewelsndrugsss.tumblr.com/pos...ion-artpopleak

'Manicure' has been arranged differnetly, it's really good though. Also reminds me of 'Famega', would slot in well on The Fame
I really like the sound of G.U.Y!! Who produced this Zedd? Wish she'd included more Madeon and Zedd songs as those are the ones I'm liking the most!
I like ManiCure - but I think I almost prefer the iTunes version, I just prefer her live vocals on it. Sexxx Dreams I haven't heard yet... Loving G.U.Y, I think it's a stomper! And I love Gypsy, I've played it like 5 times now.... Is it confirmed to be the next single??? It def should be one...

I believe it was Zedd
have you listened to 'Aura' yet? Is it the same as the demo that leaked a few months ago?

No I'm waiting for people to post all the leaks cos I can't find them myself. So far I've only heard ManiCure, GUY and Gypsy. I feel kinda bad that I'm listening to it now, but I've pre-ordered the album so it's not like I'm not going to buy it.
