So I've just heard\learned\read there's a Collxtion I version of Homebound? We need THAT to leak since all the 3 demos we have are just fucked up.

Label burocracy. Could be like sample clearing issues.

Because fans were begging for some of these people and it's nice that they actually opened up for so many people to jump in. It's going to be very unique. I'm not sure about "Gaga level of good" when she's the woman who used to work with RedOne and Fusari. If it wasn't great, they weren't releasing it. I can see them doing both tbh. It feels like the gates were open and they really just threw everyone to tweet about it. They can be trolling too tho. I wonder if we're getting only one remix for each song and then Babylon haus lab \ Babylon feat Bre. DOSS had some other remixes comissioned. There was one for "Alice" played before or after that PAPER Livestream last year, and then we got ENIGMA snippet last week or so. The Remix\BTW:TR don't have every song remixed, but they do have some songs havig more than one option (mainly the singles, but yeah).

Mura Masa with Shy's vocals I believe. Mura quoted both Gaga and Shy's tweet with emojis, at least that's the hint we're getting.

Mura Masa will be remixing Sour Candy and Sophie (and probably everyone else on the rumored\uncofirmed list) isn't happening since there are no new songs

It's crazy. For sure she'd *never* get anything like a Hit of sorts, but it's just clear that she does have a "cult following". I have no ideia if her ideas are too expensive for Capitol to pay knowing there will be no return and then they can't get a deal, or what the fuck goes on, but it feels like there's no agreement between both parties. The way she always tries to paint it as "I'm a perfectionist" "not releasing til it's right" and also knowing that she's pretty much a visual artist... I can't imagine any other reason.

GOD is GREAT gays!!! Finally. I truly love the pre-chorus here. Of course I got accustomed to the final version but this one is sooooooo good.

Cape God sounds a little like Alexandra and something from the album itself

Ugly is fucking good. Absolutely smash. Ended Lifted.

Yeah I truly believe she'll keep the title because it doesn't feel like the project really... changed a lot. She just didn't produce it (? lol) all at once. It's probably a concept that's been hanging around her head since 2014. NTMT took many changed because it felt like restarting from scratch most of the time (as you can hear from As If -> Ghost -> Final album).

Listening to some songs on shuffle and she really got some career highlights. Highly Emotional People, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, Flowers, Goodbye, Venus Fly Trap... she won. I haven't listened to the album a lot since the release week but every time I play something, I'll keep it on repeat for some time. And there's really nothing that I'd skip or dislike apart from purge the poison which is garbage. Truly happy.

Tbh I think most of her "pitch songs" aren't really her best. Amazing unreleaseds, yeah, but stuff like "Champagne & Saint German", "Desconstruct Your Heart" and others (?) which I believe were officially "pitched songs" were just... bland and basic. Even True Love is Violent that somehow managed to be officially released... it's weak. I also think a lot of stuff probably get chopped by last minute. I think it's been mentioned that Oh My God was supposed to be part of Clx II and then the "early demo" leaked (the original version) and she just gave up.

Random Out of Context Spoiler

Yes Ended the fad.

Can't stop screaming at the Happy sample.

I do believe that The Fame doesn't feel like something that needed\could be expanded. She kept a very specific vision for every album til ARTPOP and outtakes really don't fit most of the time. I really love stuff like Panty Party and Oh Baby, but I don't think they fit along "The Fame" level or needed them all tacked along, especially since it was all leaked. I also believe the "making" of the fame wasn't a very nice experience before the RedOne days. They mentioned how secure they were with Born This Way, creating 3398498 versions of every song just to pick up a "best version" out there, and they probably just don't vibe with the rest. I don't think there's like full unkown songs thought. She probably recorded Living On The Radio and "Charlotte Nights" on her piano or over a beat like some sort of concept demo, but it's just rough stuff like Stuck on Fucking You and it feels... useless? I do wish they would pick some of these "alternative versions" like Bad Kids extended or Americano Mariachi. There's a lot of stuff on Born This Way that was actually made last minute, like Heavy Metal Lover & Black Jesus. Bad Kids was also completed in early 2011. It's kinda crazy to imagine BTW was almost released in 2010 and it wouldn't have like... HML and BK. A Nightmare. From ARTPOP onwards it does feel like she was just doing thousand songs to finally settle what she actually wanted.

Ugh when she plays a tiny snippet of Don't Forget + Descending and gives a interview saying "This winter!" next year... it will be over for you bitches. Sky, sky is bitches. And we. We are bitches.

whew

You estimate how much you actually need for the movie while writing the script. Just the idea of "oh yeah let's make it 3 hours!" is out of reality. She didn't have the practice for long-film writing (because well... it IS different of writing a cute treatment for your music video without dialogue, sequences or anything at all). That's what I meant with "doomed from the start", she could have the greatest ideas for the whole concept, it needed the right hands to trimmer it. She always aimed higher with the "aesthetic" side than the "story", so it's great she managed to produce something in such a huge escale in Hungary. It's actually cheaper to shoot on location in some "smaller" countries in Europe than actually doing it in studio\location in US. 6 Million budgets is still crazy but she probably owned that after Cry Baby having its own success and touring endlessy to have the money plus saving with these cheap songs from K12 but that's another topic.

Reading about the K12 movie over the last pages and I think she was actually smart for spending these 6M to shoot the whole thing on location. I had no clue it was actually done in Hungary. The script was doomed from the start because the storyline is just bad. Reading that she learned how to do it on YouTube and also had to cut it because it was meant to be 3 hours (?!) doesn't help either. The acting is bad but well that's what happens when you bring your friends instead of real actors and so on. So at the end of the day at least she can say... it was beautifully shoot\done (which yes, it's a great achievement). Things could have been better if she had other people to write and direct, but It's also clear that the whole thing was much more of a passion project\vanity than anything else. There's no denying that she has a great eye for art direction.

Finally. I HEAR SUMN.

I keep reading these pandora's box lyrics with Are You Satisfied rhythm (high achiever don't you see \ baby nothing comes for free)

Eclipse shared a pic from lyric video of the title track. Coming before album release.

OoOoOoOrange OoOooOoOoOorange OoOoOoOrange OoOoOoOoOoOrange I can see The f*gg*ts and the misandry I take a breath of air I feel free
