To me so far it seems more like commercial targetting than anything But hey I'm not an expert on this stuff so I can't really argue much either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk though, I think it’s the plot of the real world, like, rn. Maybe the authors were brilliant enough to have the foresight to see what would come of all these technocrats Young, wild, American...

It would be Google, specifically, in this case. Google is playin wit me I swear lol. And I use the word playing in a very optimistic manner because it’s not fun and games. Young, wild, American...

Butters Stotch 5,364 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Everyone's talking about ROM, some are praising it and some aren't, I haven't seen a single comment saying it's bad, at much I've seen people saying it's commercial or that she's playing safe, but no one can say it's bad because that would be f*cking lies, period. Gaga's done it again. It was such a smart move to release the album 1 week after releasing ROM, everyone is excited about it and that's gonna make the album HUGE!!

Gaga has really gotten good at the art of SIMPLE, effective marketing, IMO. It is very smart. By having the music vids ready upon release, doing the song with Ari, serving high quality videos, etc, she doesn’t need to be running around promoting it on the same shows & platforms that most artists do, which is a really cool status to achieve. This is gonna be a big album. Gaga is doing what she does best. Finally. And yeah that means it will be commercial, but I wouldn’t call it safe. The way she says Rain on Me is kind of aggressive & disruptive. Only Gaga could do something like that effectively. Young, wild, American...
