Imagine being an artist, recording one of your best and most-acclaimed albums, filming one of your most experimental videos in 118 degree heat in the middle of a pandemic, and then having to read this: Are you really telling me to be nice to the woman I give my money everyday? The only one was there to be told I was gay? The only one that made music that for me was on another level? The one that made me discover my passion with makeup, dance, singing and doing whatever you do with a purpose? To make the world equal and safer? I cannot believe it really! I’m sorry but I talk in a way that of course doesn’t mean to offend Gaga or anyone. This is just what I think about Chromatica. Gaga won’t be mad if I noticed some things I don’t connect with. I mean to be nice to you does it mean I have to say that I love everything she does? Is it a news that she’s struggling with depression? And is it an offence then? I mean sometimes I know fans exaggerate but I really come from a point of view that is pacifict and I don’t share the way you WANT to read it. I mean guys this is a forum about Gaga... if I don’t like something or I have problems to who do I have to talk? My friends don’t even care, so there is this forum but wow. Maybe not even here anymore. And of course, when you have to judge work of other artists there are no filters, but with Gaga I don’t know why you take it personally. 911 and Rain on Me are the songs that saved my 2020 and the videos are out of this world to me, but it is pointless to say it under a discussion about just “wondering” what happened. I’m sorry you act defensive, but really there is no need 😫 @carminemorriello Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Very Gaga Holida 21,981 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Ugh, you guys are so sensitive, I can't the OP literally says that Chromatica is their favorite album by Gaga, this thread is not offensive in any way... Sometimes I wonder why you guys are on a forum if you can't handle people having different views and theories, or why do you even open a thread if 20 lines are too much for you to read... Look, @xoxo Craig doesn't like Born This Way (album), and it's my favorite Gaga record by far, but it doesn't mean that we can't talk about it from our point of view, respect each other and just debate politely. This is pop music, this is art guys, your mother's health is not in danger, don't worry However, tbh, I don't agree with everything the OP said. I genuinely think Gaga is like the “boss” of her label now, she's too big to be “forced” to take one road or another. I believe people give her advice on what can work or not, but I believe she's the one who has a final say on everything. I think it's just that after her Lady phase, she's slowly transitioning into her Gaga phase again. But she knew that C3C would come soon after, maybe it would look fake if she went from an extreme to another with no transition. And the fact that we didn't get to see her sophisticated Gaga looks every week obviously didn't help us see the “old” Gaga again, and it probably influenced our view of the music as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermesG 1,257 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I think, the only compeled choices on the era, there was the singles choices and this is a known tactic for her label for previous album s too. (Auraaaa) It was for sure commercial choices Ariana -for her numbers- and Stupid Love as a safe choice.. But no, i cant tell that the whole album was just a safe choice. If she chose Alice and Enigma or Replay for example.. (idk but sounds like those could be her choices) On the other hand, if there was only a safe strategy and she doesn't really believe the work, Sour Candy should be the second single (asian market) after Rain on me as firt, if not vice versa (huge lost commercial opportunity) So, i think it was just bad timing cause of covid and they left the project to wonderland-wonderland.. Lets pray she keeps something for surprise closing (i pray for an alice-sour candy-replay-babylon all together video concept but yeah.. i know..)

Born This Way 1,786 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Capitalize off the success of a the power ballad Shallow with a house inspired dance album featuring a Kpop girl group in which many of the choruses are focused more on production...

HalucinatingPrince 94 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 i don't think anyone forced her to do anything. Her not being that active can be due to many other reasons I don't feel like repeating. Following your logic, her label would have forced her to do many other things to promote, which....uhm.... she didnt do much of.

Der Meister 3,000 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'll say what I say: THE DEMOS ARE SUPERIOR! Even tho the album songs are so overproduced, l feel that the original Chromatica lies in her demos. RELEASE THEM NOW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I thought it was an evolution in sound, she goes from one genre to the next and manages to blend them all. This may just be basic edm to some but to me, its 90s house and trance, childhood nostalgia mixed up in a modern package. I do think fans put pressure on her to release more upbeat music though and she wanted to please us so The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerojk 4,910 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 OP is getting lots of "lmao" reactions but they said nothing but the truth The truth sometimes hurts but hopefully you'all will be ready to talk about this in a couple years It doesn't mean that it's not a good album tho... but it hurts to see Gaga so disconnected to her own work and at the same time lots of merchandise everywere (i kinda hate Chromatica oreos because of that, i said it) I hope her next piece of art is something she genuinely wants to do, even if its not what you expect from her, I love seeing her passionate about what she is presenting to the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma 7,182 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I don't think OP's timeline/guesses are entirely correct (for example I don't think they forced Gaga to make a dance pop album because of Shallow), but there are a lot of good takes there. While I do think Gaga enjoyed making Chromatica and is proud of it, I do think it isn't as personal as the past ones. She never really expressed anything about the album unless she was paid/doing promo. It's a really weird spot cause while she just gave us her best MVs in years along with one of her strongest albums, the motivation seems to be lacking... Basically she leaves it all out on the stage and then won't mention anything unless the spotlight is on her. I'm good with it since we were fed with content and LG6 didn't disapoint. What I'm disapointed in tho is the waste of potential and the fact we're more excited about the album than she seems to be. The era was off to such a great start with the photoshoots, the tribes concept, the billboards, the merch, Chromatica TV... it's her most visually pleasing one. It's just a shame cause the potential doesn't line up with the amount of content. We get something absolutely amazing each couple months, what's missing is just her keeping up the interest in between. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
