Gaga literally said ARTPOP was a closing chapter so this new album will be new territory for her. Don't know why you're all getting worked up over the single cover being a bit toned down.
It's like we're actually getting to see the proper Stefani come through
I actually kind of like this. I don't stan, but if I were to see this on the iTunes charts, I'd be curious as to how it would sound, whereas if I saw a more unusual cover like Applause's I'd be like, "Oh, dance pop Gaga is here once again."
She is so raw, and free.
