Was LG6 scrapped/replaced?

[Battle 4 Ur Life 6,662]

So at 2017 she was recording what appeared to be an album with Bloodpop.

Boysnoize and Sophie were apparently involved as well. and that’s pretty much all we’ve known about it since then. more than 2 years later there’s still nothing else we know about it.

so for me at this point it has never felt more likely that all of that (or at least a good part of it) has been scrapped or won’t be used anymore.

so what is this album we are all waiting for? is it the same as the one before?

if it’s the case do you feel ok about it being reworked and replaced? and if you think it’s been scrapped what direction do you think she will go to?  what kind of music do you think Gaga should tackle next?

[S0436 10,215]

I don’t think we can say it has been scrapped and that she has started again because she acknowledged #LG6 on Twitter a few weeks ago.  I wouldn’t be surprised if she has replaced a lot of it from 2018.

No

Just wait for insiders...

Like, i don't really understand this mentality of"an album being scrapped".That would entail Gaga having a full album completely done and then abandoning it. Like of course material from LG6 is scrapped and more will be scrapped. You don't release the first 13 songs you make and call it an album. We all know Gaga makes heaps upon heaps of concepts, demos, and full songs. For her it's probably a very lengthy process. But would she scrap a whole album? Nah. Would she scrap 50 songs? Probably.

Remember Sophie's message that their song together with Gaga is alive and sounds very energetic and calm down.

Y'all are saying she scrapped the album literally every other week. At some point she has to be more than just "starting the album" guys

As in like she did with LG5  When RedOne legit said they had a lead single chosen and everything, and then months later he was like “well... I don’t even know if any of my songs will be on the album”  That’s scrapping an album. She also scrapped ACT 2 since she said there’s a disc with the songs she and her friends listened to (as in it was a complete collection of music) and we never got that. So I don’t think it’s weird to assume she could’ve scrapped the original album because “she wouldn’t do that”.

I think in 2017 Gaga was just playing with some sounds and wrote some lyrics.

She never did that lmao

Her 2014/2015 comments about LG5 were clear hints of what Joanne was going to be.

She did 8 songs with RedOne, one of them is on Joanne. It's a ballad. On the studio pics of Gaga & RedOne, there's always a piano and a guitar. She was already wearing boots and the "Joanne hat". Not everysong made the cut, but the album was never "scrapped"

They chose the lead, doesn't mean the album was finished and finalized.

Wasnt this more down to how the whole ARTPOP era went down? Management etc.

Yes. 

I believe that she already had an album to release, everything was ready to go. But the problem was with ASIB. When it was officially announced that the movie was going to be released, they had the date in October. This meant that LG6 could have been scheduled for Q2 2018 release... similar to BTW rollout. But then, with a year to go, Warner Bros moved the release date forward to May 2018. This meant any plans to release new music had to be put on hold, and thus, LG6 was put in the backburner to get ready for ASIB release. But then, near the beginning of 2018, Warner bros decided that ASIB would be better served in its original release date in October and everyone who had seen the rough cut of the movie sparked Oscar buzz. 

With that change back to the original release date of ASIB, its clear that both Bradley and Gaga really wanted to seal the deal on ASIB and the focus then became "how do we polish ASIB even further than we already have?" which they did in those months.  I do believe though she was still working on both ASIB and LG6, but everything was more ASIB focused. Any plans to release music which wasn't related to ASIB wasn't even on the cards as the focus became ASIB only.  Of course, nobody expected ASIB to do as well as what it did.

So we have the majority 2018 was spent on ASIB, with LG6 in the backburner. Its only natural to assume that she reopened the project. Its kind of like when you write an essay and leave it for a week, and come back to it and you're like "why did I write this sh!t its terrible" and you redo it. I think she came back to LG6 and didn't necessarily like or feel what she had done before was satisfactory. And this is the point where she scrapped it.

I do believe, however, that she has reused some of the beats for other things. She needed interludes for Enigma and music for Haus Labs adverts... so its possible that some of the OG LG6 was reused for those specific purposes. She has reworked LG6 and scrapped most of the OG work, BUT she is still working with the same producers like Bloodpop, Boys Noise, SOPHIE, Tchami and Basek... and she has been working with them the whole of 2019. I am hoping that she is nearing the end of the process so that she can release LG6 in 2020.

Didn't she say that LG5 was gonna be dark and based of her "The Countess" character? I don't think she was wearing anything related to the Joanne aesthetic in 2014/15

Y’all really love avoiding the truth.  Please don’t tell me how Gaga teasing the art of darkness, RedOne saying she’s returning to her “old sound” and her vampire/witch poems of 2014 are anything similar to a country tinged pop album that features only one song (that was a bonus track) from outside of her sessions with Mark in 2016. LG5 had a RedOne lead single chosen which means it was a nearly complete album. I swear it’s like some of y’all just weren’t here in 2015/early 2016 or not paying attention, either way if you’re going to try to teach me that there wasn’t a scrapped album you’re going to need more proof than the fact that there were instrumental sessions in 2015...

She never said that LG5 would be dark. She only said that her role as the Countess inspired her to be fearless for her record. The first things she said about the album is that she wanted to erase the fame, return to her roots and that it felt like operating her old self's cadaver. Gaga's roots are her voice and her piano.

And just because they had a lead single doesn't mean that the album was close to be finished. Monster was supposed to be The Fame Monster's lead single, and yet it's the first song that they made for the album.

By the way, this is Gaga in december 2014, a few days after artRAVE's final show:
