Togekiss 2,394 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think she could but it just doesn’t make sense with how she works. I feel like her albums develop organically through the writing/collab/production process as opposed to some of the other girls whose entire album is probably planned before any words are written 👀 but I could be wrong. building a daydream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S 8,437 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Anyone can do it, but to pull it off like Beyonce circa 2013-2016 or Taylor then no. Her time to do it was 2011, 2013, or even post ASIB when all eyes were on her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 106,048 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I mean, of course she can. But if the context if she can break the internet with it the way Beyoncé, Drake, Taylor Swift, Eminem, or Kendrick does is remain to be seen. Gaga is crazy popular but she is also a divisive brand. People either love her or hate her. Which makes this not easy to predict. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝓁 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓉 𝓊𝓃𝒹𝑒𝓇 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒻𝑒𝑒𝓉, 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒻𝓁𝑜𝑜𝓇'𝓈 𝑜𝓃 𝐹𝐼𝑅𝐸!!

Reality 73,672 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 She definitely could; I don't really understand why people are questioning that. Yeah, it's not gonna be like Folklore-levels of hype, but Gaga's still a big artist who could sell a lot of records. This fanbase got excited when SL officially dropped, despite it being leaked in full more than a month earlier. She could do a surprise release and it could go well. ᗰᗩYᕼEᗰ || 🦇👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been done to death at this point. Folklore and Evermore both only released less than a year ago: Evermore just released last month. I'd hardly call that "done to death." ᗰᗩYᕼEᗰ || 🦇👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzkill 5,024 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Maybe in 2013... today’s surprise drops feels old and repetitive. There’s bo shock value anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Don’t think so, at all. She’s way too promo sensitive and I don’t think she’s appealing enough to a wider audience for a surprise album to generate so much buzz. It’s not that she’s not popular or successful, we can see how much her streaming game has improved with ASIB and Chromatica, she’s literally top 5 most streamed female artists and all. But she’s still an artist that needs to do some promo to generate buzz. I mean, even Chromatica was at least preceded with two singles, and there’s no doubt ROM really helped the album in terms of streams and sales. So I don’t know, I doubt it. Also, she still seems very traditional when it comes to making and releasing albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fanbase would love nothing more than just getting a full album without any worries about "insider" info or anticipating the wait of the next release date. It'd be a waste. It's smarter for Gaga to have two pre-album singles than just unleash an album upon us for some extra first week sales. It's been done by three of Gaga's female contemporaries, and the surprise drop is just not the pop cultural event it was before Bey and Taylor both used it twice. Gaga will look out of date if she does it in 2021 or beyond. Time to come up with another marketing strategy. Releasing an album in the foreseeable future would be fruitless. Gaga just had an album cycle derailed by Covid, might as well wait for the whole pandemic to be a thing of the past before embarking on another music era.

Also, she still seems very traditional when it comes to making and releasing albums. I was going to say even major artists have had trouble with surprise drops or "mostly" surprise drops. Positions was still a a big success, but nowhere close to what people expected from Ariana after TUN. The Lion King: the Gift wasn't really a "Beyonce" album but was strongly associated with her and still didn't do particularly well (granted, a lot of it was Afrobeats, etc. which doesn't have as wide as an appeal as say Lemonade). I think surprise drops basically only work for artists with extremely wide fanbases (Adele, Taylor) or people who just dominate streaming like no other (Drake). *If she ever gets around to doing another jazz album with Tony, though, I could see that being a "surprise" drop.
