Is she trying to do reverse-psychology on us? Is this her way of hyping up the album?
Perfect Illusion is already better than pretty much every listenable track from ARTPOP (and there were only four listenable tracks on it to begin with, everything else was messy and terrible), I'm really hoping there is at least some more songs on this album that will be likable.
it's kinda hard to take this seriously considering she's been plugging it on every radio station in america. the more we go into this era, the more i think it would've been better if she surprise-dropped the full thing one friday with no hype.
Ok, she can make music that's important to her, it's not like she needs the coins, so that's cute, but when it flops don't start acting like the industry abandoned you...
@ ATRL being shook because she made an album she wanted to do and not the album they wanted her to make for the charts.
Guess what? Not every artist makes music with the sole purpose of getting a "smash". Lady Gaga has been doing her own thing ever since Born This Way and will keep doing her own thing. Expressing her artistic truth is more important than topping Selena Gomez, Halsey, Meghan Trainor, Katy Perry or whoever else is doing the most to top the charts at tue moment.
This era is such a big "F*** You" to her pop music fans
No, it's a **** you to the pop money making machine. I heard the album and it's still pop music, but it's pop music at her own terms. It doesn't cater to the generic **** that's on the radio right now.
