asfittingasmcqueen 1,967 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Born This Way undoubtedly. The mix between genres, longer outros and breakdowns, and the use of electric guitars with dance elements and sound distortion come to mind inmediately. When it comes to pop music, the production for this album is far from mainstream and most of the tracks involve religious metaphors and abstract lyrics (such as the bridge from Judas or Bloody Mary's verses) On the other hand, ARTPOP is pure EDM with a couple other genres here and there. Aura is the only track that screams experimental to me. Chromatica is the easiest to digest out of the three and has the most commercial sound overall (as a concept tho, I think it's the most intricate one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive Monster 4,921 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 BTW and ARTPOP Born This Way: Experimental in its production and fusion of styles. Thank you Fernando Garibay. Heavily borrowing 80s music such as Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston and Madonna Yet it also cleverly fused it with hard rock, metal and futuristic/creative sounds It really has this rich wall of sound with many layers in most songs and a lot of reverb ARTPOP: Experimental in the construction of some of the tracks and the EDM sounds created. Thank you Zedd. Tracks such as Aura and Swine are stand outs in terms of experimental. Kind regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Boy 42,083 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I personally don't find her music experimental. Like others have mentioned, if she released experimental music in the future fans would likely hate it.

A Very Gaga Holida 22,298 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 9 hours ago, Red said: I've said it before and I'll say it again: when people in this site say they want Gaga to release experimental music, what they mean is that they want music that sounds like something SOPHIE would produce (this is not a shade to SOPHIE I love ha Gaga please collab with SOPHIE While I agree that Gaga has never been fully experimental, a song can be both kinda experimental and mainstream at the same time though. There are levels to everything. It's not just black or white, it can be many shades of grey. It doesn't necessarily have to be extreme. Find ONE pop song that sounds like Bloody Mary. Just one. Sure it has a pop vibe to it and a classic structure, but it really sounds like nothing else. You can say that it's not experimental music overall, I agree with that, but you can't say it's not experimental POP music. And no, I'm not one of those who always ask for experimental stuff. Sophie? Not my cup of tea. My favorite Gaga songs are DWUW and ITA, I'm completely fine with them even though they're simple, especially ITA which is just voice + piano. And when fans ask for experimental stuff, I'm sure they actually ask for for experimental POP music. Gaga is (mostly) a pop artist after all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs 2,690 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I'm not sure I'm musically literate enough to be able to argue what really constitutes 'experimental' music... But Born This Way's ornate fusion of an impressively disparate range of 'organic' textures and styles to those hard, cold, chrome-plated dance beats still makes the album feel uniquely inspired amongst Gaga's broader discography. The album is a dense tapestry, seemingly woven from as many ideas as Gaga could possibly fit into 4/5 minute pop songs, and nearly a decade on from its release, playing that album from start to end still feels like a damn voyage. Anyone voting for Chromatica is as objectively wrong as it is possible to be when it comes to music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,342 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 AP feels like the more experimental one as the public was so turned off by it but really, that's more than likely to do with the fact that the hate narrative against Gaga was so strong that it made people believe the album was terrible by default. In actuality, many songs there are quite mainstream, it was intended to be songs made for radio, which was how Interscope billed it. The likes of Applause, DWUW, Sexxx Dreams, Gypsy, Manicure, etc. were clearly made for mainstream audiences, with a bit of Gaga's individual flair added. The truly divisive album was BTW, with elements of rock, metal, electro-industrial and even mariachi and a touch of borderline opera. That was the album that lost her fans and set her up badly going into AP because she was simply seen as too weird now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 25,386 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I'd say BTW. I mean, it features church bells, operatic chanting, a techno-mariachi hybrid... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
