Omg this sounds so cool. I never got into the analog conversation last month, but now I start to understand it and makes me excited!!! :excited2:

I am excited, too!! I really think this album could be some of her greatest material to date!! 

I heard that Aretha song playing loudly in Starbucks last week and it FILLED the room with so much energy. It was awesome!

I think it just means that she uses more organic instruments instead of synthesizers

I'm not sure we should totally rule out synthesizers: those existed long before digital technology was even a thing. Like, classic 80s Giorgio Moroder records can be considered analog. Damn, I even think most of BTW can be considered analog.

I'm not sure you guys should be scared about that term, the only thing it indicates is that LG5 will in no way be a DJ-oriented record like ARTPOP was.

watch her use real analog instruments with cool avant-garde visuals. You won't even complain by then. :gaycat:

I believe it means real instruments and real vocals, something like the edge of glory where in the middle of dance pop song you can hear saxophone solo. I think it still will be pop, or even dance pop music but will live instruments. Don't forget that she described Born This Way as  "giant musical-opus theater piece". At the end of the day she is working with Ronson not with Led Zeppelin :gaycat:

but I prefer Led Zeppelin than Ronson (funk music)

It doesn't have to mean no synths or digital keyboards necessarily.  However it probably means mostly played by humans and recorded either analog or digitally vs typed into the sequencer in Logic or Pro tools.
