73. Donatella // ARTPOP (track 10) // 2013
Donatella is easy to listen to, but my GOD the lyrics are... not her best. Someone pointed out that she transitioned from singing about LGBT empowerment to...
"Walk down the runway, but don’t puke
It’s okay
You just had a salad today
Boulangerie
Just ask your gay friends their advice
Before you...
Get a spray tan on holiday
In Taipei"
Honestly what was she thinking
She said of the track "it’s about being a fearless female and not caring what people say about you – being proud of who you are and walking the walk no matter what. Maybe she’s a bitch, maybe she’s too skinny, maybe she’s too rich, maybe she’s too out there. Or, maybe she’s brilliant, maybe she’s intelligent, maybe she’s strong, maybe she’s everything, maybe she’s Donatella.” I don't think she
quite captured that with the lyrical contents of Donatella.
That being said, it's a fun track, and it's just
so ARTPOP.
