Here for this being the next release after ROM

[Smithy]

She did an interview with Zane Lowe on AM and spilled a lot, but here’s a summary:

The bulk of the album was made inside a computer. She played with modular and normal synths. She’d input the stuff she wrote on the piano and they’d play with it and manipulate it.

“I made that record and then I realised that I couldn’t fix my dad so I kinda gave up. I was like well if I can’t fix my dad then what’s the point?” - Lady Gaga on Joanne (album) (omg )

-The last act of the album is Sine From Above and Babylon - they use “Sine” because the music healed her to be able to dance her way out of the end of the album singing Babylon, a song about gossip - something that used to run her life.

-Sine From Above is paying tribute to the sound saving her like it used to

-Fun Tonight means a lot to her and chokes her up. There were many nights people who loved her were trying to get her to smile and have fun and she had no ability to be happy. But then she’d write music and listen back and ask why it was so fun and happy.

-Mark Ronson is only interested in making music that asks what the artist wants to say - which is what Joanne was. Constantly challenging her for what she really meant and wanted, which was an album for her Dad. No matter how much success she has, she couldn’t fix her Dad and his pain.

-She decided to lean in to her problems instead of running from them. Writing the lyrics and melodies is how she used to write, a cathartic experience.

-Zane calls Rain on Me a smash. Ariana called Gaga a supportive, generous collaborator, going into the experience giving others a safe space to be a part of the music and experience.

-Gaga says she and Ariana connected right away and she was so wonderful. She asked Ariana what she needed and how she wanted to do things. Gaga was sitting at the console as they vocally produced Ariana’s work. She asked Ariana to forget everything she cared about as she sang. Gaga said she’d dance in front of Ariana as she sang and Ariana started to do different things with her voice.

-Ariana was very open to trying things she hadn’t done before in the video since she trusted Gaga - it was a healing process for Gaga. She didn’t have a female artist to mentor her as she came up, but she feels she can for Ariana.

-Gaga said that Ariana has been through some tough, hard life testing stuff. Her ability to move on - when she came into the studio, Gaga was still crying and Ariana wasn’t. Ariana gave Gaga her number and was being friendly with her - Gaga was too ashamed to hang out with Ariana since she didn’t want to project her sadness onto Ariana. Ariana called her out on it and said she was hiding - which was true. A true friendship blossomed between them from there.

-Rain on Me is also a metaphor for the amount of drinking she was doing - “I’d rather be dry” is dual, She’s flirted with the idea of sobriety but isn’t there yet.

This album feels like a non-stop dance marathon. I can’t wait to dance with people to this music

Lyrics

“The sound created stars like me and you before there was love, there was silence. I heard one Sine and it healed my heart. Heard a sine.” - “Sine From Above”

"I'm human, even though I feel like a plastic doll" — Plastic Doll

Nnnn fortnite is a good platform to snatch new listeners then!

I think the album will do fine re tiktok there’s already people making the Babylon thing go viral

[Smithy]

She’s on Graham Norton on May 29

[Brother Leon]

Travis doing Fortnite slightly made sense as there is at least some minor crossover in fanbase albeit minimal. Not sure why Gaga would do it though. Fortnite kids won’t give a damn really.

[Smithy]

Listening to the zane Lowe interview now and 911 lyrics:

Keep my dolls in diamonds boxes
Save it til i know im gonna drop this front
I've built around me oasis
Paradise is in my hands
Holding on so tight to this status
It's not real but ill try to grab it
Keep myself in beautiful places
Paradise is in my hands
