Life

and my point was, there really wasn't. nobody had any idea what to do, how to do it, it really was a bit of a mess. and, like i said, this album wasn't the only thing that was going on. she had an insanely busy year planned and still had to manage other shxt. this one really wasn't her fault.

tbf, being indie/alternative she was never going to be as huge as "pop stars" honestly. i think she's as big as she's ever going to be, because i don't think she'll ever crack the "mainstream" to get to that level of success. she's done insanely good for herself though, and as far as indie/alternative acts go, she's as big as they get tbh - especially from the time she started out.

there kind of is, though. it was at the very beginning of the pandemic so nobody had a fxcking clue what they were doing. there was no set of instructions that came with this pandemic. all of the promo that was planned was scrapped, because the sheer size of it wasn't possible to reschedule - all of it is done months and months in advance and it just isn't easy to instantly reschedule the entire thing normally, let alone when the whole world has been on its head. no shade to katy either, for example, but she didn't have anywhere near as much on her plate as Gaga has the last year - the album wasn't the only thing for her to work on. it really is a shame because chromatica is such a good album and deserved the most, because i highly doubt the tour will happen now as well. it's really not her fault.

it wasn't even Gaga's fault honestly. Delaying the album because of COVID basically fucked up the entire promo schedule. The restrictions on everything in the beginning made it literally impossible to promo anything, so really don't blame her for it. They had the biggest promo plan since BTW for this album and in the space of a few weeks it went out the fucking window never to be seen again. stem/pro tools session edits.

*real ones

stem edits, yes. real demos, no.

this is, well, lies. Alice, ROM, 911, Sine and Babylon are all god-tier Gaga songs. It’s one of her stronger albums for sure, because even the likes of Plastic Doll, Sour Candy and 1000 Doves are cute little bops. I will agree that’s it’s certainly a more lighter feeling album than I thought we were going to get, i.e. more Boys Noize, but it’s still not a bad album. I’ll agree that Bloodpop isn’t my favourite producer either, but he’s not as terrible as most Gaga fans make him out to be. pretty sure that was just some distorted, fake stem edit. i don’t think any real BTW demos have actually leaked.

i mean, we usually get remix albums in some form. she’s not seemingly done seeing as we’ll have a new MV in just over a day too.

Blood is seemingly doing a Chromatica remix album. including Babylon Haus Labs ver., 911 Charli XCX remix, including Rina and possibly SOPHIE songs.

annaoop

listening to Let It Die rn and ugh, a finished version would be so good.

at least it's not that.. other remix.

oh, yeah. lemme rip sculpture.

it really does seem like a bit of a pop culture parody.

the cellophane video was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw that entire scene. like, people trying to defend it on other forums literally don’t have a leg to stand on. the way it’s shot, the falling from heaven, the angle, movements, everything about it is a direct copy from the cellophane video. if it was a bigger artist that had done the cellophane video people would be absolutely going IN on him, but because it’s twigs and she has more of a cult following people just don’t seem to care. it’s literal artistic robbery at its worst.

promo stuff can be shot so far in advanced, especially if the album was really delayed from september. unless the magazine is directly doing the shoot, a lot of the times they'll just ask for the artist/management to provide photos to them and they'll choose what they want.

i managed to grab the last one

well, this is a plot twist i never expected.

can she just throw yes to heaven and fine china on there and be done with it and claim her best album

yes to heaven and fine china would have gone so well on the latter part of this album.

oh, yeah. i though he said something since she lost of her mind yesterday.

where did Ben confirm it?
