I have this theory on what Gaga’s fifth album is going to be about.

I have this theory on what Gaga’s fifth album is going to be about. She recently tweeted that there are emojis for caterpillar’s but not any emojis for butterflies:

She also tweeted a caterpillar emoji again earlier:

I have a feeling her next album is about blossoming into a better person like how a caterpillar eventually blossoms into a beautiful butterfly. If you also watch her recent interview with Billboard, she seemed to be in a state of mind that she’s doing a lot of personal reflection. The video highlighted words like “mindful”, “present”, “existence”, “desires” and “objective” which are all words associated with the topic of reflection and growth.

I really do believe her next album will be about the growth she has experienced in her life, a growth that has been influenced by her engagement to actor Taylor Kinney, the identity struggles she went through with ARTPOP, her recent expansion into different entertainment territories, the fast rise to fame and prominence with her first albums, etc. Her manager Bobby Campbell told Billboard in a recent interview that this next album will show us a “new chapter” of her as an artist. Again, connecting back to personal growth.

Keep in mind, this is just my personal speculation. Since her work withAmerican Horror Story is wrapping up soon, I believe Gaga is slowly starting to drop hints about her next album, especially since her manager Bobby Campbell confirmed in his recent Billboard interview that new music would be the next project following AHS.

I don’t know how literal Gaga would incorporate the “caterpillar turning into a butterfly” concept but I feel like the essence of LG5 will be about growth, a big bloom. I also speculate it will sonically be much more stripped down compared to her previous works to showcase how her vocal talent has grown as much as she has personally.

Discuss. 

I forgot to give credit.

no sh*t

Looks like it's heading in that direction, which will make the people who felt ARTPOP had no soul feel very happy. These are topics that will be more easily translated to the general public and be accepted as serious.

Time....is the title....and the concept. Bookmark me.

I think we're finally getting back to more relatable music. Since The Fame Monster, she's been writing music as "Gaga" and using the way the world sees her as a pop star to influence her music.  Her image and relationship with the media have influenced her writing tremendously, more than ever on ARTPOP. 

Hopefully now she will focus on emotions and issues that every human has to deal with, not just the daily woes of a world-famous pop star.

Decoding LG5 one sequin at a time

It would be nice if it's something like that. But remember she said, with her new music, she would be exploring her past self as if it were a cadaver. So I think there will definitely be a lot of retrospective lyrics about who she used to be at the very start of her career and before that. 

What I think would be really cool is if the album itself is called 'Stefani' and it explores who she has been from the age of 20 to 30, and how she has changed. Basically it would be an ode to her twenties, told in chronological order, so the start of the album is about her struggles and her dreams before she was famous, then the rest of the album chronicles the ups and downs of her relationships and friendships across the decade, and finally the album ends on a positive note, with the promise of a beautiful future for her marriage. It would be the 'perfect end and perfect beginning' at the same time.

Oh crap, I've just got myself really excited.

I don't want relatable music  To me her 'gaganess' is what sets her apart from her contemporaries, and i connect and relate to her weirdness more than the 'basic' pop singers

I have this crazy theory she's just using the emoji, because it's pretty

T'aint the only one thinking this.

Kind of like Adele's albums!

I love that thing about Gaga. Her "alieness". I mean, seeing her pictures and performances and think "how can she dance on these heels" "how can she hang from a rope (VMAS)" "how can she wear such an expensive dress for only 5 seconds". But it's strange because I like her music to be relatable, to feel the lyrics.
