There's so many stones that she left unturned from her earlier discography. Maybe if she were to take a backseat creatively for a year or two at one point, she could do re-recordings of her '09 work - but tracing it back to the material's raw inspiration. I'd love to see her put a Gaga spin on 'Greatest Hits', altering them all with completely new arrangements. She could do a symphonic Paparazzi arrangement, a full dark-rock suite of Bad Romance and so on. Her genius for so many years has been dressing up these influences in pure-pop and dancefloor hooks, but a deconstructed album would be brilliant.

It's making me weak at the knees thinking of a solid 16-track package of her all her hits redone, with all new collaborators, guest appearances and such. Imagine too if they were filled out to 7-10 min versions. Just imagine 'Lady Gaga - Paparazzi (feat. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra)' or 'Lady Gaga - Venus (feat. The Arkestra & George Clinton)' in these fully realised charts.

Woo

I have a question. Do you guys think there was another LG5 that was scrapped? One that was more The Fame Gaga/ RedOne but then she scrapped the entire thing and started Joanne for some reason?

No, any demos she recorded with RedOne were acoustic like the Angel Down work tape.

[State of Grace.]

I think she worked with RedOne for a while in 2014 / early 2015 (probably her label told her that?) and they did a few songs together (8 acoustic songs I guess?) but then she met Mark and decided to change the whole album direction and they came up with Joanne, and the only RedOne song that made the final cut was Angel Down.

I doubt there was a whole album/lead single ready and she scrapped it

True, I don't expect high budget videos, but I am not too fond of the video, while I adored PI, I feel it could have been better executed. Anyways I adore the album, so I will just keep enjoying that and see whatever comes from it

Agreed. Perfect Illusion was an example of simplicity done right. Great video.

The last part? That's likely false. Chaos angel is something else, but it has to do with Daphne Guinness

This is my case too. I abandoned everything and I keep listening to this. Best album of 2016. I knew she will deliver. Loves it! <3

Red One did say there were songs they worked on that sounded like an obvious RedOne/Gaga collab.

Also I think what happened with MR was that Gaga didn't have enough time to plan or record an actual video, so they put together this hot ass mess. Given all that she has to do I think it makes sense!

Come to Mama for Winter/Holiday single please
