Kevin Parker Says Lady Gaga Collab Started Out as a Career Move

I wonder if she chose PI because it had none, yet all of their creative stamps on it. Like, it was all their own creation, like a band, instead of mostly big, synthy, suttering pop (Gaga), big retro brassiness/making the past new again (Ronson), or chill, guitar-filled psychedelia (Parker)...it's just it's own accessible, yet inaccessible, entity. 

This is exactly what people need to understand! I wish people weren't so caught up in it "not sounding like Kevin's influence," or "not like Mark's influence"... no ****? Because it's an amalgam of ALL of the producer's respective sounds. I can literally hear Tame Impala-esque synths and melodies, Mark Ronson's "breakdown" brass'n'sass in the last 45 seconds as well as his great guitar playing, Bloodpop's infections voice modulation, and Gaga's classic delivery.

You see this is how powerful and respected Gaga is.

Whilst Gaga is deciding who to collaborate with, other people are 'propelled' to work with her because she would get them so much exposure. I don't want to create distinctions here between people's level of popularity because I believe art shouldn't be judged by its popularity but let's be honest with Gaga's position here.

I think Perfect Illusion might be all he was involved in, and if that's true I'm gonna be devastated, cause I love the song but it's not the Gaga x Kevin song I needed 

yeaaah I totally agree with you

A career move for who? Gaga?

If so, this would explain her mindset behind LG5 changing direction. I just hope this move was for the better. 

That's what I'm worried about!
