Sometimes it works and often it doesn't because the music industry is constantly changing. I don't think it has anything to do with her wanting or not wanting to be commercial because at the very grain of her artistry she is a commercial brand/artist. She could venture away from that but her brand would still be commercial. The stuff that she says in interviews are just how she feels about her artistry and honestly I think some of you take them too seriously. I honestly think she sometimes says those things to get the fans hyped and it's truly a mistake. She needs to allow the music to speak for itself.
And Liberdade she's never said she hated making ARTPOP or anything of the sort, actually she still stands by it rather vehemently which I wouldn't have expected her to do. (some would call her stubborn but it is her music so I guess  ) She just downplays the authenticity of the genre in which she used for that album which isn't really that she hates it (she's specified this in a recent interview as well). |
I meant that she acts as if she was 'tortured' while making it and next thing u know she glorifies it. I think, and that is only me, that she just failed into making 'artpop' songs. It just wasn't there.
The way she explains ARTPOP-and her philosophy about it in general- did not translate on the songs. It would be amazing if it did and it was a commendable try, but I think she didn't live up to it. Of course, she loved it as a project but it all collapsed at some point. And maybe she is right, maybe she was mismanaged, maybe the media did wage a war on her, but she knew that. She wrote an album about that, a person who seemed to be able to play her FAME in her palms was-at some point- caught up in all that drama. And of course, ARTPOP is much better than it was portrayed by the media. It was publicly executed for God's shake, still it wasn't much of a 'thing' to stand on it's own. As a reviewer fairly said,
"ARTPOP tries hard to hide that it doesn't have much to say" .
