Gaga spoke about ARTPOP, saying that she was much happier while writing and recording it – a process that started directly after she finished with Born This Way. Gaga said that she knew Born This Way was a challenge to most of her fans, and that we endured a lot. She continued and said that she created the album, which ultimately became a movement, as a form of therapy, and she has no regrets about Born This Way, though feels she is now able to move on as a happier and more mature person. When asked if she felt pressured about the new record, Gaga said she would be worried if there wasn’t any pressure, because it helps her work. She said she knows what we want, and that’s fun, dirty, dance music, and there’s no shortage of it on ARTPOP. She explained that the album is pretty much done: there’s vocals and music on all the tracks, but she wants to take three weeks after the tour is over, during her break, to re-record her vocals with her coach Don Lawrence, so that the album is the best quality it can be, because its forever. Gaga mentioned that she considers ARTPOP her first real album, that its about a phoenix rising from the ashes, and is worried if she’ll ever be able to top it because she knows it’s that good.
So much truth in that! ARTPOP is her best album, and everyone would have love it to death and raved over it had it been released in Born This Way's place.
Brushes with darkness won't help you create
Your destiny of self but ARTPOP could mean ANY-THING
ANYTHING
I try to sell myself but I am really laughing
Because I just love the music not the bling!
Music not the bling!
One of, if not, her BEST song Besides Sexxx Dreams, of course.
Idk, I noticed that a Gaga image gallery posted a bunch of Born This Way Ball photos, and it made me think of the general excitement from 2012 + early 2013. I hope y'all don't mind if I post a bunch of content from that time (snippets, littlemonster.com convos, selfies, interview bits, etc.) throughout the night, esp. for the monsters here who became fans after the hip break.
she didnt change its concept, most of the tracks were known before she broke her hip
Pretty sure she did, but it was in mid-2012, before Zedd was brought in.
I'm kind of fascinated by what the original direction was going to be. I've read some conflicting stuff, but there was definitely a different album originally. And she's alluded to the pressure to be a "money-making machine" that would have influenced the change in direction.
65 is still good...
Besides Sexxx Dreams, of course.
please tell me this is fan-fiction
