Coney Island King 26,125 Posted April 10, 2021 We also need to remember that music nowadays is consumed at a much faster rate, that started happening around the time Gaga arrived. I guess it’s due to more platforms that are giving people access to music. Artist relevance seems to have a shorter window nowdays, with very few exemptions. I feel like Gaga’s career has had the flow of a 20 year career, especially when you compare her to a Madonna or something. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 9 hours ago, rockwellfckingnorman said: huh? all of these are real bestie stem/pro tools session edits. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunday afternoon 1,040 Posted April 10, 2021 I don't know what happened in this era, but I feel like it's forced. Gaga didn't look good, we don't know what was going on behind the scenes, and indeed it is quite unusual for her not to be promoted. I also think the failure of the album must have chilled her, see how Artpop affected her on that. I don't know, I think her health is not good, that she is no longer motivated and maybe wants to change all that. If you notice she talks a lot about sanity in the interviews and how she was affected by it all. We don't know everything. But I'm not going to lie to you, there was no effort at all on his side and that's a shame. A little improvised live in her living room, in her garden would have done the trick. A general communication on the album would have done the job (just a press release or an article typed by her on Instagram, a video on the creation process, 5 short minutes). Instead we had a collection of nonsense advertisements, she accepted everything and anything as long as the contract that the contract is 8 digits. Not a word about the fans, nothing. Just Gaga and the money. Sometimes I feel as if she is not managing anything on her side, her team does absolutely everything and she is just a doll who is given the ideas and she applies them if her team seems like it is a good idea but I do not think at this stage of her career that she is deciding nothing. I think we have to take Chromatica as a simple error of course (it was disappointing for me, it is a concentrate of everything that is more "bad" about her, she clearly did not have the inspiration to this record and even her looks have nothing of Gaga) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I guess you're right...but look what other artists did with their albums (like Dua), you can't tell me that it's all COVID's fault for the lack of promotion of the album while she is continually promoting brands like Tudor, Oreo, Don Perignon etc. ? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the promo for the album for sure wasn’t able to be rescheduled due to everyone’s scheduling going to shxt. she did do a little bit, and hopefully she’ll do a live stream show. she’s not just a musician anymore though, and I think that’s what people forget. she never was, music was just the thing that broke her into mainstream. it is a real shame and I’m disappointed af Chromatica never got its moment fully. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read in the thread and that says a lot. She's been in the recording industry for more than half her life and started in her early teens. We literally have scans of a demo CD from that time period. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
