She seemed, well, cool -- cool enough to appear seemingly from nowhere with an already larger-than-life sound and persona and instantly seem like the biggest thing in '00s pop.
THE FAME MONSTER
Quote:
It's still very sleek, but there's a danger in Gaga's eyes this time out, and the feeling of greater depth in its austerity: A star, but one with a lot to say.
BORN THIS WAY

The album was better-received than its lead image
JOANNE
Quote:
It certainly seems likely Joanne will be as straightforward a This Is Me album as it cover would imply -- and hopefully as arresting too.

Possibly the most infamous cover art of her still relatively short career, the Jeff Koons-designed (and Boticelli-inspired) Artpop image featured a nude Gaga sculpture appearing to give birth to the world, in the form of a large blue orb, with other famed art works chopped up in the background. The album inside may not have been as high-minded as the cover -- in fact, singles "Applause" and "Do What You Want" may have suffered on radio for the perception of being more difficult than they actually were -- but certainly, the comparatively chilly reception the still-conceptual Artpop received was telling that perhaps the public was not willing to go as deep into the art side of Gaga's world as she may have hoped.
