"...she’s so inspired that she’s already been working on new songs for her next project, though she won’t reveal much about it—except with a metaphor. “I want the fans to be surprised,” she says. “But I will just tell you that it’s a wonderful, soul-searching experience. And it’s very unlike the last album in that way. I made that album on the road. ARTPOP was, you know, the acid-making record. And this record is like—my old self as a cadaver. And I’m just, I’m operating on my old self."

I think that was the first information we got about Joanne. At that time, when a read "my old self", I thought that it meant she was going back to The Fame and The Fame Monster. But now we know that it literally meant her old self as a person, not only as her father's daughter, but as her father's sister. The "cadaver" was a metaphor about her and her aunt.

Is she talking about Joanne, or the album before Joanne that was scrapped?

This is not about Joanne tho :classy:

It still fits though. She obviously had a clear picture of what she wanted.

Maybe that's why she scrapped the Redone material, it wasn't what she was going for.

They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.

In an interview she also said something along the lines:

"I will always be that little girl sitting at the piano"

The date of this is very early for Joanne seeing as her and Mark created it in six months but this could be a sign that Joanne was always the theme of the album no matter if it was Mark or RedOne that produced it

Is there any receipt on this "the album is before Joanne that was scrapped?" did she make something before? I'm highly curious but I found nothing on anywhere.  :gum:

The Child

Here on GGD after this interview, half of the members thought she was going back to TF/TFM and the other half thought she was going back to Stefani circa 2006-07.

So I think we were all kind of wrong.

So interesting to look back at pre-LG5 days now we know what the album is. 

From the looks of what she's hinted about it, the theme was still going to be about Joanne if RedOne or Mark did the production.

she was at the studio with red one since early 2015 and around february 2016 she snapped some pictures that says she was doing sound mixing of the album and I wonder what would she was going to perform at Grammys if Bowie didnt passed away
