Gaga Shouldn't Release Music Until 2022

[BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454]

I’d rather wait till 2022 when the virus won’t be much of a problem anymore than get new songs this year with zero promotion

Tbh, this just seems unfair. Joanne isn't a perfect album, but how are we gonna call an era where she played the Superbowl and headlined Coachella lackluster??? And she did tons of promo, the joke is that she literally performed MR every chance she got, and we got 2 post-album droplets and 4 mvs (MR was bad but the others were great and fit the songs they were for). Joanne was overall a great era. And a big reason Chromatica ended up being a weak era (so far at least) is the pandemic. Obviously she could have still done promo, but it's still unfair to criticize her for holding off on promo/content during a pandemic regardless of what others are doing.

Agree to disagree I guess. I consider coachella and Super Bowl to be independent events that took place within the Joanne era. They weren't exclusively for the album itself. Yes, she did promote MR all the time but that was literally it. All the other songs got paid dust, the lead went unprompted and was underwhelming, not to mention all the videos were pretty meh imo, with MR being the worst. We only got 2 singles, and very few tv interviews and lots of confusion. All this is almost identical to the chromatica era, even with the stuff she actually did for the album. Weak, unprompted lead, only 2 singles, 0 tv interviews etc. And speaking of chromatica, regardless of the reasons, it'll forever be a lacklustre era, and the pandemic really can't be used as an excuse.

Don't worry she will release music until 2024+ if don't quit music for ever 

[Mother of Puppies 35,923]

Your forget that last year she didn´t post anything on her instagram starting from before christmas until late January either.... she was probably on holidays with Michael there... and she has had some time off now in january too I believe.. like a lot of people... usually I´m always on holidays around christmas until late january every year - just not this year because of Covid

 

So I believe in the next 6-10 days she will start posting stuff again... first about politics (Bidens inauguration)

 

And after that, when hopefully everything has calmed down a bit in terms of politics, she will continue posting Chromatica related stuff again ... (SC) just wait and see

The SuperBowl and Coachella are part of the Joanne era, everything from the Perfect Illusion announcement to the beginning of the A Star is Born rollout was the Joanne era. Joanne was promoted a ton for modern day eras. Y’all really can’t expect BTW sized eras every time, and the pandemic absolutely can be used as an excuse, it delayed the album, cancelled plans and was a huge obstacle for promotion regardless of what Dua, a popstar on her second album cycle is doing.

Replying to OP's point, though, I really do believe there is a way to release music and have a fully fleshed-out era, in the midst of a pandemic, and around her filming schedule... if her team really wanted to do it.

As others have mentioned, there are many things she could do that other users have mentioned that have already been done by other artists- pre-recorded performances, live performances from at home/studio set, uploads directly to her YT/VEVO channel (as opposed to waiting for events or talk shows to perform), long-form music visuals, lots of behind-the-scenes videos, fan interactions, etc. The possibilities are all there.

I just don't think she wants to do all that. Which is valid! Just unfortunate for us fans.

I agree with you on this. Sometimes I do end up wondering why they didn't at least do an online performance of the album. It's just very very odd knowing how innovative Gaga and her team are. I know that a lot has happened socially, but an online performance to cheer people up would have been fantastic!

She is one of the most promo sensitive artists

SL had no promo & leaked a month before its official release & went Top 5. ROM had zero promo apart from those Gaga Vision entries. Chromatica had like.. one interview during its release. Both ROM/Chromatica did well commercially. 

In the past, I’d agree that she has been promo sensitive but I’d argue with confidence that Chromatica’s performance / reception proves she doesn’t need it to succeed. Her fans need it more to keep sane 

[MaryJaneHolland 77,348]

Not new music, since it will be another wasted era. I don't see it happening anyway.

But everyone and their mamas has been releasing re-issues, I think we deserve at least 5-6 outtakes  

[Mirrion Rizzons 10,475]

Bold of you to assume we won’t have to wait 4+ years for more music 

[OMonster 14,637]

If Gaga really wanted an epic roll-out for Chromatica, she could've made it happen. 

She is a multi-millionaire who claims (or claimed) to live for her art and creativity. 

If anything, the pandemic created the perfect backdrop for Chromatica - not just creatively (in terms of kindness and 'cancelling earth'), but also in terms of how it provided a legitimate reason to scale physical interaction back. This would've suited Gaga and removed the need for things she finds difficult, like touring and in-person events. 

Instead, she could've focused heavily on online content (performances, live streams, virtual concert) and crafted a different kind of pop era like Dua Lipa did. Chromatica of ALL pop eras was best positioned for this, since the idea of creating a new planet lent itself so perfectly to virtual innovation. 

The fact she didn't do that, though, tells me that music (or creating musical 'moments') is not Gaga's priority and that we shouldn't expect new music anytime soon - but not because of the pandemic. It's because she (evidently) doesn't care about creating eras anymore. She just drops the music, and cashes in on any brand deals that it might attract. That's it.

[Debithius 5,687]

Eh for some reason I'm not as excited about her new music anymore. She doesn't feel as passionate about it I guess. I very very rarely, if ever, hate on Gaga, but she can take all the time she wants until she's feeling it again.

I feel the same. When Gaga releases new music, I want her to be passionate and engaged about it. Not so long ago, Gaga treated her music as something special. She valued her songs so much, and deeply believed in them and their (relative) importance. There is no such connection with Chromatica. She seems to not care about the songs at all.

OK little manager

Nobody is asking for BTW 2.0. I don’t think wanting more than 2 singles, a proper promoted lead and better visuals is too much to ask from her. Have our standards gotten that low? Also the pandemic messed a lot of things up but she could have adapted like everyone else meaning that it was still possible to give us a consistent and exciting era, even if it wasn’t what she originally wanted. As long as it was possible to adapt and still do stuff, as seen by many other singers, the pandemic can not be blamed when it was more than possible to work around it. At the end of the day it is what it is but let’s not pretend that chromatica and Joanne eras were more than they were. Also, what does how long you’re in the business have to do with anything? Obviously dua is trying to make it big in the industry so of course she’s doing more things as gaga is already an established name but anyone who is passionate and driven would not let how long they’ve been in the business dictate the amount of promo or quality of the era. Katy and gaga started out the same year and look at her smile era compared to chromatica. While 8 months pregnant I might add.  

[Ghost Face 6,236]

Don't worry, she won't! And if she does people will not know because of a lack of promo.
