Should LG7 be Gaga's "BEYONCÉ" ?

[Moebius 8,965]

Personally I would love for Gaga to turn into modern day Beyonce. With her self titled album she basically changed her image, sound, and art. And her albums (Bey + Lemonade) are very f ucking acclaimed too. In the end, her music became more serious and more interesting. She became a fully fledged artist.

I dont wanna **** on Gaga though, shes managed to amazingly express her art through pop music, but if she is ever to mature as an artist, in my opinion, she has to let go of the mainstream pop sound. We all know what happens when you try to mix high-art with pop; it hardly works. I love ARTPOP as an album but I too can tell there's hardly any art-pop in it, just lots of crazy EDM which can at moments be slightly experimental.

My point is, I think pop is shackling Gagas art, and she could express herself so much better probably if she let go of it.

Nah I didn't click to Beyoncé new music since maybe '4' (and few songs of BEYONCE)

Joanne was a in a way Gaga letting go to this mainstream sound. A lot of articles noticed influences from indie music.

In fact a lot of pop girls last albums did embrace some elements from indie (Beyonce's selftitled and Lemonade, Rihanna's Anti, Gaga's Joanne).

But no because:

1. Gaga will do her thing as always.

2. There are plenty of other ways to reach critical acclaim.

I don't think making a self titled album is gonna earn her any more respect. Like I think Lady Gaga would be a silly album name. But I definitely agree that she shouldn't constrain herself to pop music if she doesn't want to. 

Just enjoy the ride regardless ❤️

I need that two part concept album Lady... GAGA

[Taide 5,789]

As a sound? No

As a theme? Probably

As a visual album? Absolutely f*cking YES

[ryhanna 3,507]

In the sense that she stops trying to appeal to radio and just makes mature music? Yeah, for sure.

Not to **** on Gagz' previous music, because I love it, but I reckon it's time to fully let go of aiming for mainstream appeal. Joanne was a good start, now's the time to take it another level and just bring some classics that probably won't take off on radio.

'A present day beyonce'

You do know that beyonce is literally a present day beyonce right? 

[Easy 5,306]

Why do people consider Beyoncé and Lemonade the artsy albums? Imho they are just albums with the trendy sound influences and high budget videos. Gaga did that with TFM already tbh. I really hope Gaga stays down to earth and reachable for fans instead of giving no interaction to achieve that artsy persona. If Gaga has to be distanced from us to be acclaimed, I’d rather have her as the less acclaimed artist. Gaga just doesn’t need to be a Beyoncé coz she never stands for perfection, perfectly synchronised choreography and the Beyoncé type of vocal doesn’t work for her. She needs to be raw I think. 

In conclusion I hope LG7 is Gaga being Gaga in that moment rather than an attempt to gain critical acclaim.

That's why Gaga's last album, Joanne, had influences from about 50+ genres  

Gaga does so many genres of course she isn't restricted to Pop. She has never been about mainstream pop sound, the only album that consisted of that was TFM... so the OP is wrong when it says that Gaga should move away from that because, duh, she's already moved away from that. Pop is such a vague genre, she can use elements from every genre if she wanted to and still call it pop. She can, and will, continue to express her art how SHE wants to and it won't matter if it garners critical acclaim or not, if it does then it's a bonus. 

Anyone who makes a self tilted album this far into their career is crazy imo... it screams lazy and lack of thought behind the album.

Yes because Beyoncé’s full secret album which had a video for every song, screamed lazy.

This Lady Gaga we're talking about.

the second part "GAGA" would probably never see the light of day
