Bambino 24,269 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sometimes artists choose a song title to be the title of the album too, while others look for a title that generally represents the album's theme instead of a title track. How do you like albums to be called? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricKing 9,405 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 'ARTPOP' was meant to be representative of the entire album though? It just happened to also be a title track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Goo Goo 3,864 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Lady Gaga truly has a mix of both and I love her that Lady Gaga doesn't owe us anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happened to also be a title track. That's a rare case. When you think about it, Gaga is really smart when choosing her album titles. I mean, the Fame is also a song title but at the same time it also represents the whole album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkYou 352 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 However the artist wants to call it. 3 minutes ago, PinkPop said: 'ARTPOP' was meant to be representative of the entire album though? It just happened to also be a title track. Generally (for albums with a concept), if the artist chooses a track to name the album, it's because it represents the album.

ElectricKing 9,405 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Maybe a better example is: Tell Me You Love Me (Demi Lovato album) Confessions on a Dancefloor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but I mean ARTPOP is not the best example of the question you're asking, because ARTPOP wasn't chosen because it's just a song on the album, it was chosen because it's representative of the whole project.

So she made a song to fit in with the whole project unlike artists who name albums after songs? It really is a reverse experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I personally prefer a title that represents the theme of the album versus just the title track. Just like how I'd prefer custom artwork or something other than just the artists face. Aside from TFM and BTW, her album covers haven't really done all that much for me.

RudraCNG 15,063 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Title track is just too cheap and unoriginal. I prefer when they are called with a title that represents the album's theme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice bear 1 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 i like the style of Queen of The Clouds, where the title is somewhere hidden in the songs ice heard one side from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I like album titles that actually mean something, as well as being the name of a song, like ARTPOP. Or if it has something to connect it to the artistry in the songs like Electra Heart. Dangerous Woman, even though it's a song title, seems so juvenile to me and like a lazy choice.

Magneto 13,432 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I personally dislike albums that are called after a song. Gaga however has a perfect mix like @Madame Goo Goo said Free my mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 55,872 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don't have a preference. While I think the latter can be more creative to have a song whose title fits the whole album is a thing that requires a crafted and well-done album also.
