TIME... THE ULTIMATE TRUTH TELLER.

Revisiting Lady Gaga’s ‘ARTPOP’ Five Years Later

Before Lady Gaga’s subtle performance in the new remake of A Star Is Born left audiences gobsmacked, the singer had built a career on unbridled maximalism—the likes of which the pop world had never seen before.

Lady Gaga’s cacophonous clutter reached its zenith with ARTPOP, her divisive third studio album, which was released on November 6, 2013.

Half a decade after its debut, debate over this album still flows thick and fast. Is it a work of cannily stylish genius, or a middling screech into the void where all ephemeral bangers go to be forgotten? It depends on who you ask.

A bit like Andy Warhol, who triggered a seismic shift in contemporary art when he started incorporating movie stars and advertisements into his paintings, Gaga wanted to conversely incorporate contemporary art into her music and structure pounding pop songs like an omni-referential Koons.

Yet the songs themselves are enormous in their jubilant strangeness, but not so overwhelming that they’re impossible to put on repeat. “Do What U Want,” a woefully misguided collaboration with R. Kelly, has a walloping beat that still sounds squeamishly exhilarating. “Swine” is so much fun it’s almost indecent. 

With each subsequent listen, ARTPOP’s narrative of resurrection unveils itself a bit more. It is the work of an artist who must have known her daring experiment was coming to an end. She wanted to determine how much “experimental art” people could tolerate from a pop star who also happens to be a woman. Gaga willingly hammered glitter-studded nails into her own coffin, and forced herself to begin anew.

Without this album, the singer might never have been inspired to pursue an artistic code of stripped-down vulnerability and authenticity—one that led her to make Joanne, an album that mostly consists of soft rock, and take on the central role in A Star Is Born, a movie that required her to abandon her outré persona and become a shy, humble waitress who’s all but given up on the idea of achieving fame and glory.

ARTPOP may have been dismissed as “shallow,” but Lady Gaga seems anything but shallow now.
