i feel like she's definitely lost some of her artistic control, whether it's because she chose to let her team make decisions for her or because they are forcing her
 
i just find it INSANE to believe that someone like 2011 gaga would pick bloodpops generic ass beats over SOPHIE and boys noize... like i genuinely feel like bloodpop has brainwashed her into being solely reliant on him as a producer despite him being mediocore.. 

I'm shocked, I have problems processing death in general, I wasn't even following SOPHIE super closely (regarding latest leaks, etc. etc.) but I got to meet her once, she was super nice and friendly, and the few times I've made it to see her on stage, all of them have been a blast. She was only 34, enjoying a night with friends... maybe it's also disturbing for me because we've been reprogrammed to see and know everything through social media, and her closest people sharing pictures of her or black squares but not giving much more it's weird: of course, why would they, they owe us nothing, we were not close to SOPHIE and this is about her privacy, but at the same time, when people get attached emotionally to somebody, to tease this and not give a better context to understand and make peace with this... it makes it worse, at least for me

She needs to stay away from bad-aging, cheap EDM and these producers she's stuck with, they've completely ruined a good concept. Jessie Ware showed how you do a proper record inspired by 70s/80s/even 90s vibes, even if Gaga herself had in mind a more-90s concept. These producers are not house, they're kind of gay-circuit fast food producers, maybe tech-house, but not house. Free Woman demo had a house vibe, but not the rest. And guess what it is now: a song that everybody skips. She should have got the producers Dua got for her remix album (even though I don't like those remixes much either), to start from scratch with them. People like Moodymann, Gerd Janson, Avalon Emerson. Examples:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(just as examples of sound)
 
I mean... you're Lady Gaga. You can literally get anyone you want.
 
But she's fed up with the pop/stan world as you guys have mentioned, that's the first problem, and the second one is that, even if she kept the distance with the fan world, she'd need creative, new and fresher people surrounding her, not the alienating ones that [from the outside] looks like they're standing behind her just for the money, fame and clout, and they're totally disconnected from the vanguard/underground scenes around the world. I mean, imagine if she had done the album with the mentioned producers and then released chromatica: dystopian with a darker, techno sound with lady starlight (she started with her and now she's getting bigger and bigger collaborating with rodhad, surgeon, etc., which are super talented) etc., which would even make sense, as going back to her roots and days of performing in underwear setting fire to hair spray in festivals. Something like:
 
 
 
 
 

new Tony+Gaga album coming this spring. reading about Tony's struggle with alzheimers broke my heart. 

tysm. Demos like these show me that Gaga still has it, I truly think that she does, she just needs some time, I mean the whole cover art, photoshoots, the joanne interlude visuals, some of these more original authentic Gaga sounding demos (the free woman one isnt like godly or anything but it shows what couldve been of the song if worked on better) show me that she still has it, I think we just need to be patient and pray that she doesnt work with bloodfloop for her next era 

My friend ate them and said he did green shits for 2 days.

to be fair, she just passed and it's not like anyone can go out and celebrate for her right now
umru covered jlwnsgb at a virtual concert and i'm sure we'll be seeing more tributes for her eventually but i don't think it's fair to expect anything major so soon

Yes, it's very weird to see like +6 different vinyls with no different content or changes at all but the color... I've bought the yellow and the red ones on that nl store to just have both covers... and regarding the cd I'm considering buying it on that german import shop, but for 30€ and without knowing if it will have anything different I'm just doubting... what would you guys do? I mean, I can just wait, I think that they'll import a considerable amount... I hope lol
 

Ugh, I hate this, it' stressing me for some reason   

I hope that she releases a better pack or more merch - I've purchased the red vinyl, the yellow one and the cassette  

I‘d say US/European store, because your link to the European store is UK restricted but thanks nonetheless!

updated!

I've purchased it  I'm seeing them on ebay already... for 150$. The world is crazy

yass, cancelled my walmart order faster than lana could say "question for the culture"! im not going to put up with that ugly ass blue walmart sticker on my vinyl, no no no

Hi! It might sell out or you might get lucky, I have no idea! But with forwarding services like Forward2Me you can merge two packages into one when they ship it to you.

Hey guys! I live in Germany and I was thinking on buying the spotify picture disc, but since I cannot order it from the UK store, my plan is to wait until they release the cassettes (Feb 1) so I can merge it all in one single USA order (and not pay for extra costs twice ). Should I just buy it now just in case they get sold out? Did you manage to use a discount code in the end? To pay 50 dollars for a vinyl... just hurts me, also because it will come in a single plastic sleeve and nothing else, and I've already bought the red and the yellow ones, so I want to take the most convenient/money-saving option...

Weird I still can’t order the Spotify exclusive from her European store even though the destination would be Germany? Anyone else still having the issue

oooh the girls are fightinn

You went for Lana's jugular here. Wow. 

Oh my FUCKING GOD! This sentence is art.
