HighlandHeart 993 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 MJH just because I can relate so much to her feeling the need to adopt that alter ego to feel better. I love both songs equally but in terms of the song MJH is so biographical and charts her pain almost unlike any other song. From the alter ego and nickname she adopted just for that one night to the weed she smoked, the cheap gin she drank, the nationality of the hookers she actually hired. It's an honesty which is largely absent in contemporary music. I know what it's like to adopt an alter ego to help cope with pain and because of its extremely personal poetry in the guise of a hard EDM song, no other artist can pull it off, when you think of EDM it is never that intimate and personal and poetic. I think the MJH alter ego helped her healed a lot more than Venus; Venus was more of an expression of love. I wouldn't be surprised if it was written after MJH due to it's happiness and peace of mind. People tend to generalise ARTPOP as a downer which is ridiculous. MJH illustrates fear, identity, fun, mystery, art, travelling, drugs, alcohol, guilty pleasures and social commentary. Venus is different in that it's such a hit song structurally and calls on themes of love and sex in an ethereal way (if you've ever had sex for the first time whilst genuinely in love you'll undoubtedly understand Venus and relate to it more). Only Gaga could write a fast, hard, loud EDM record with lighthearted stems, sonics and chords and get accused of being a downer haha. The album will be appreciated much more in years to come.
