The TFM Album Cover

Ok, I’ve always thought that the black hair TFM cover was... weird.

 

First of all, I don’t think she ever wore black hair the entire era, nor did she ever use the “eye blood” anywhere else. It’s just interesting because she always uses album cover symbolism in her eras (Joanne hat, Koons ball, Motorcycle, Fame glasses)

Secondly, it’s a bit basic for Gaga’s standards. Don’t get me wrong it’s a stunning photo, but Gaga always pushes the boundaries with her art and album artwork and this is rather unoriginal... dark edgy album = dark hair + black goop dripping from the eyes.

third, it’s just not GAGA. Idk, it just doesn’t have that Gaga flair to it. It doesn’t even look like her somewhat because she just never wears that hair and has this aesthetic. Like her entire career until that point she had platinum blonde hair then suddenly her album has dark black hair? Idk just thought that was weird, the pic isn’t really her “brand”. 

Im not hating on the cover because I do think she looks stunning and it’s pretty iconic and a gorgeous photo. But I always was a little thrown off about it I guess...

I agree to some extent. I agree that it looks out of place but instead of getting rid of the cover I think she should've worn black hair more during TFM era. Black hair would've slayed at TMB, especially during the Teeth segment

Hey, I didn't realize that this is the only cover she didn't wear in public. :interestinga:

Mogana Devacelli is a really mysterious alter ego, I hope she comes back with Enigma

Strangely the reasons you included are why I absolutely adore this work of art.

Like you said, it's the most non-Gaga Gaga album cover. 

I'll lift you 3 inches off the ground and drag you to a meter and a half

Isn't this the cover for the sole TFM album?

The blonde one is for The Fame + TFM

The black hair works for the ying yang concept for the cover. The crow from the photoshoot appears on TMBT 1.0 on Raven Film and backdrops forTMBT 2.0

Excuse me no :koons: from Rollingstone

They were like, “It’s confusing, it’s too dark, you look gothic, it’s not pop,” and I said, “You don’t know what pop is, because everyone was telling me I wasn’t pop last year, and now look — so don’t tell me what pop is, I know what pop is.” It’s funny, because I fought and fought and fought, and I actually ended up having two covers, because I wanted to do this yin and yang presentation with the covers.

Also shout out to Gagadaily :poot:

When I go to see what my fans are saying, I go onto GagaDaily — they see the cover and say, “I don’t really like the blonde one, but the brown one is ****ing sick.” They love it, and I know what they love, so I make it for them, I don’t care what anybody else wants.

Uh Red Wine... Convict... Gah Gah...
