Bye 3,947 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Sorry for the slight off topic, but yeah I think Gaga's next lead single need to have really wide appeal. Rolling in the deep / Someone like you kind of wide appeal, not PitBull/Katy Perry kind of wide appeal. Now that she is being exposed to a different audience, and they love her, she really need to serve something outstanding. She is not just a pop star anymore (obviously). Something like The Edge of Glory / Rolling in the deep etc. will smash next era with wide appeal. :trootea: Spill that tea, a piano ballad / power ballad would do greatly. It can be appealing without being generic and basic. Something like that would give her that critical acclaim once more like CTC while being more pop would make it commercially successful as well. Needs to have good promo too, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigostick 2,008 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, definitely. I think her "Rolling In The Deep" is coming, watch this space. And a collab with Adele on her next album would be amazing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against some catchy dance songs but it has to be less noisy than some ARTPOP songs. Next era she'll have to win back the GP and radios.

Luc 4,772 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 and the next album should indeed be more timeless. catalog becomes way more important with the rise of Spotify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CakeLikeLG 6,275 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 A powerful ballad could work. It just has to be catchy for her return. I just don't want hard EDM. I'm not against some catchy dance songs but it has to be less noisy than some ARTPOP songs. Next era she'll have to win back the GP and radios. my only concern is that it could end up like Pills N Potions instead of Someone Like You lol i want Gagas "Say Something"-like ballad tho live each day like Gaga might drop an album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to have good promo too, of course. Agreed with everything. If she has to go for an album filled with ballads, post-C2C would be the best timing for it. She has already stripped down her image with it anyway. Stripping down ever further in terms of dropping her "shock value" theatrics altogether (+ go into a rock/acoustic sound) afterwards would make perfect sense, and it'd only make the transition period into the next phase of Gaga's career as an artist much smoother. She has gained a new audience, it'd be best to capitalise on it by giving another traditional-sounding record soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monketsharona 46,407 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 130 ↑ 124 Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - Cheek to Cheek (standard version) It's not in the top 20? Mess, same happend in the UK after Strictly, our predictions were too high combined it's definitely top 20 on itunes. CtC is more about physical sales. So next week sales are going to be better than week 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new audience isn't a loyal monster-like cult and they will not support an EDM or Dance album. However, an acoustic pop album filled with ballads and maybe infused with rock will please a wide range of people from hardcore fans to casuals as well. This will help her both critically and commercially while improving on her public image which is already mending thanks to C2C. Someone mentioned streaming above. I hope they focus on streaming with the next album, she needs more followers on Spotify. Maybe some marketing promo and deals with streaming services (especially Spotify) will help. She's got a lot of ground to cover and catch up to with other artists in streaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
