giskardsb 12,565 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Found this nice article in Houston Press. I know fans often prefer that stars keep repeating the same successful formulas, but artists need change and growth too if you expect them to remain interested in their own careers. Nobody likes doing the same thing over and over again. Take Gaga, for instance. After bursting onto the scene with her 2008 debut, The Fame, Gaga instantaneously gained a rep as someone who could simultaneously be provocative while releasing singles that were listener-friendly enough to gain widespread appeal. She was, essentially, the modern-day version of Madonna – catchy enough to be a pop star, dangerous enough to be an interesting one. Gaga could have easily put out two or three more The Fameredux albums before audiences eventually got wise and moved on. Instead, she followed up with Born This Way, a dark, introspective, anthemic record that was viewed as a relative failure because it didn’t feel like The Fame. Not one to return to the status quo, Gaga followed up with ARTPOP(an EDM/rock blend) and Joanne, her most personal record to date and one that removed a lot of the backing noise in favor of showcasing Gaga’s vocal talents. Couple this with a turn on FX’s American Horror Story, not to mention her advocacy on behalf of both sexual assault victims and the LGBT community, and Gaga has proven herself one of the most well-versed and all-encompassing pop stars of her time, record sales be damned. http://www.houstonpress.com/music/pop-stars-like-lady-gaga-are-willing-to-evolve-9992412 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
