Glitter Boy

Today would've been my late best friend's 26th birthday. While making my next album, I made this song but it ended up out of the tracklist. It's like the 'last goodbye' words I wasn't able to tell her. And please forgive my shaky vocals, I thought if I re-recorded it I would not be able to sing it without crying again. In case you click on this, I really appreciate it, and hopefully she would too.

I can be your girlfriend for the weekend You can be my boyfriend for the night

A few listens on, and Garden of Eden, Shadow of a Man and Zombieboy have grown on me a lot. She put crack on this album or what I don't mind HBDUWM much, but Don't Call Tonight? Top 5 for sure! Get rid of Killah instead, and DWAS too. The bonus tracks could have taken the place of these two instead.

Lady Gaga - MAYHEM Disease Abracadabra Garden of Eden Perfect Celebrity Can't Stop the High Vanish into You LoveDrug Kill for Love Zombieboy How Bad Do U Want Me Don't Call Tonight Shadow of a Man The Beast Blade of Grass

You kept my only 2 unnecessary ones I would kick out Killah and Die with a Smile in a heartbeat! You axed one of my top 3, #JusticeForDontCallTonight

AHHHH I love this album! It really works well. Aside from Die with a Smile (doesn't fit, I never liked it, just included for stream-boost purposes) and Killah, I love everything else. I think my favourites are Vanish into You, Blade of Grass, LoveDrug and Don't Call Tonight, but it's truly a bop-filled record. One of my favourite Gaga albums, if not THE #1 for me.

I think it's very subtle. I was afraid it would be too obvious but it doesn't sound like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah as much as I thought it would be. So that's cool

Oh, Lost Your Faith is incredible. I've been listening on repeat since it dropped. This genre really suits her

Pieces is absolutely glorious. I wonder if it's a lead single of something... I like Swimming Pool but it's honestly not that great compared to her album and Pieces altogether. I also prefer almost everything on Personal over SP but I'm glad we got it too.

I stumbled upon another concept I really liked at the time. This one I'd probably rework into something I'd eventually use, but I'm not sure. Also, I sneaked a few featured artists just because - pretty much wishful thinking and whatnot. Artist: Edward Sidler Album: When the World Was Beautiful, I Dreamed of Massive Destruction Cover description: It shows a dystopian landscape, with me standing in the distance looking towards an undefined spot far away. It is a textless album cover, with dark colours mostly. A sunset appears to be happening. Genre and sound: It leans to alternative and synthpop with strong cinematic influences to mirror its dystopian motifs. It also features songs with minimalist acoustic production (piano, acoustic guitar) like "Mother Earth", "Rivers of Hope" and "But the World Is Still Beautiful". Lyircal content: It depicts lyrics with dystopian motifs (mind control, environmental crisis, pollution, pandemics, destruction of individuality, absolutism), to amplify the singer's fear for the planet's future. Tracklist: A World Like This Weapons of Mass Destruction White Noise Human (feat. Kerli) Mother Earth (feat. AURORA) Little Problems You Finally See Chemical Attack Poisoned Paradise (feat. Lana Del Rey) Strength I Need Rivers of Hope But the World Is Still Beautiful Singles from When the World Was Beautiful, I Dreamed of Massive Destruction: "Weapons of Mass Destruction" "Mother Earth" "A World Like This" "Strength I Need"

Okay I dug up with this one for now, I may share more in the future. I don't think I'll ever use this but it was a cool concept I guess? Very dark coded - although I have many in that vein. Artist: Edward Sidler Album: Headquarters of the Shadows Cover description: With a predominantly grey palette, it shows a misty background and a silhouette seemingly walking away, headed towards a sort of tunnel. The album title and artist's name are shown in the superior left corner, on a small typeface similar to Courier. Genre and sound: The album delves into a baroque pop and alternative rock sound (Florence + the Machine is cited as one of the main inspirations), with a mixture of drums, electric guitar, strings and a minor usage of synthesisers. Lyrical content: It depicts dark imagery, with a lyrical tone fixated on fear, lack of interest, anger, failure or remorse. Tracklist: Sailor Eyes on Fire Fickle What It Feels Like No Need to Hide Obsessed Until Sunrise Try Again No Right to Hurt You Run Away From the Pain Within the Ropes When It's Time Jump Off Singles from Headquarters of the Shadows: "Eyes on Fire" "What It Feels Like" "Sailor" "Try Again" "Run Away From the Pain"
