I'm starting to think that this '80s, leather, headband, short slicked-back hair, kind of rocker look she's been sporting lately will extend to the next album.
I think everyone needs to be prepared for dramatic changes in Gagas music, maybe not now, maybe not for years. But she will re-invent herself over and over again. She has that artistic drive to constantly evolve. There will never be the same thing twice.
If that means a rockier album, bring it on.
She already said You & I is different from the rest of the album so I don't think she's going to change drastically. We will definitely get amazing pure Pop songs. She is Pop.
