TIME... THE ULTIMATE TRUTH TELLER.

Revisiting Lady Gaga’s β€˜ARTPOP’ Five Years Later

BeforeΒ Lady Gaga’sΒ subtle performance in the new remake ofΒ A Star Is Born left audiencesΒ gobsmacked,Β the singer had built a career on unbridled maximalismβ€”the likes of which the pop world had never seen before.

Lady Gaga’s cacophonous clutter reached its zenith withΒ ARTPOP,Β 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 ofΒ cannily stylish genius, or aΒ middling screechΒ 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 likeΒ 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. β€œDo What U Want,” a woefully misguided collaboration with R. Kelly, has a walloping beat that still sounds squeamishly exhilarating. β€œSwine” is so much fun it’s almost indecent.Β 

With each subsequent listen,Β ARTPOP’sΒ 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 β€œexperimental 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.

WithoutΒ this album, the singer might never haveΒ been inspired to pursue an artistic code of stripped-down vulnerability and authenticityβ€”one that led her to makeΒ Joanne,Β an album that mostly consists of soft rock, and take on the central role inΒ A Star Is Born,Β a movie that required her to abandon her outrΓ© persona and become a shy, humble waitress who’s all but given up on the idea of achieving fame and glory.

ARTPOPΒ may have been dismissed as β€œshallow,” but Lady Gaga seems anything but shallow now.
