What do you think of Gaga using pre-made instrumentals?

[Slayer 9,227]

So there were quite a number of tracks from ARTPOP that had pre-made instrumentals which Gaga built the songs around. Mary Jane Holland, Donatella, Applause, Aura, G.U.Y. to name a few.

 

What do you think of this? Gaga rarely used to do it this way. But now it seems she's literally taking entire instrumentals and fitting her own melodies around them. For instance, the Aura instrumental hardly changed from the Infected Mushrooms song. 

 

Is she being lazy? Is she uninspired? Or is this simply a new method of song-writing that she prefers?

 

Personally, I don't mind it, but I would like her to go back to her old way of doing things. In some songs on ARTPOP, it's very obvious that she shoe-horned in melodies that didn't belong.

It pisses me off that she is listed as co-producer for songs on the album that she had no production involvement with.

I don't care tbh

I don't care if we don't wait 2+ years for it..

Aura is what happens when she uses an instrumental and has one of the best productions in her career.

[Memo 176]

It's lazy, she's capable of more, but she delivered with Aura, MJH and the others so maybe it wasn't much of a problem but I would like her to continue doing her own music instead of picking what she likes and singing over it then claim she worked 2 years to accomplish that

[Gagz 2,579]

Don't really care.

I am not too concerned about how and why she is using these instrumentals.  I think at the end of the day the melodies sound great with them and the overall production is flawless  

 

Now those lyrics and themes on the other hand  Not as relatable    That's the only issue I see

TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I hate that. If she would really love us more than anything else - she would really ''die for every note she writes''!

[garnite 8]

when i listen to an artist i expect it to be created by them (to a large extent, and with their direct and close involvement) and at least an attempt to make something new or something that truly represents them. but they have to make it. not going to a supermarket and putting your favourite items into a basket and replacing the logo with your own.

[Essence 235]

I don't care. She's still writing the songs and maybe the instrumentals inspire her creative juices.

Thank you!

the technical definition of production is one who selects the instruments used , directs the other musicians , and holds the overall vision of the piece .

Right. So she can recycle, just as long as she releases fast, because the time difference obviously somehow changes the end product.
