Miss Joanne was a strategic career move at the end of the day, it’s not a bad album but it got the GP on her side as did C2C and ASIB, now she’s coming to SERVE

[Saph]

a strategic career move? i really don't think so, the genre was never gonna be commercially as successful as her last efforts, but I think she just genuinely wanted to do the whole stripped back thing.

I do really like Joanne, but I do find there's a certain x-factor missing that her other albums have. My other criticism is that the album is overwhelmingly low-tempo/sad from tracks 7 to the end.

still tragic these two didn't get released, artpop had so many bops

Yeah, I definitely think it was somewhat, when you watch 5foot2 they talk about elevating her and her image by stripping it back. Each previous album they’d try to outdo the other and now they had to go back to basics in order for there to be somewhere to go in the future. She even says at one point “I can’t keep elevating myself to the point that I’m lady Gaga again, because then it’s like, why did you even bother making this record”

Obviously she can’t half this very analog record and rock the sort of looks she had for the first three albums, it just wouldn’t work

MJH making it over Brooklyn Nights too... a CHOICE

[TomC]

FFS. I actually came when I saw gaga had tweeted this morning but it was literally about nothing. I’m so sick of waiting, like I was under the impression the social media silence was leading to a reveal ugh. Rant over.

[Shaun]

ARTPOP IS SO FLAWLESS

[Ross.]

Okay it's been like a month since Taylor released so WHERE IS SHE

[Smithy]

Katy releasing before her too

[Marsh.]

You can't rush perfection!

[Jessica.]

[Smithy]

I THINK, what happened is she was scheduled to release in April, but then there was a massive shallow resurgence so they pushed it back, then Taylor dropped and Old Town Road was ridiculously big so they pushed it back again and then they realized it was too close to her enigma shows so they’ve pushed it again

[Smithy]

And then on top of that they’re getting ready to launch Haus Beauty so

[Jessica.]

Primark tweeted this t-shirt!

[montblanc]
