LM: Gaga still can't pick songs/knows we (jokingly) 'want to kill her'

[Skins 40]

I've been thinking... I had a huge meltdown yesterday in the Gaga Christmas Gift thread....

I think the main reason that music today mostly SUCKS is because everything is rushed through by a "team" of "experts" that create new material with purpose and send it to the artist they represent for their vocal stamp and rush it to iTunes with little or no promo. After this process happens over a course of 7-8 years or so... everything begins to depreciate. I would blame the record labels but I can't.. I blame the rise of EDM...

I love(ed) EDM before it was cool.. I was listening to underground dubstep and producers like Tiesto and Oakenfold and DeadMau5 before it was mainstream.. and it was so different in the early 2000s ... but now Pop and EDM have like merged and its gotten so ****ty! You have producers like David Guetta and Calvin Harris who basically regurgitate their previous work into their new works and it all sounds the same.. The ease of production now is so simple that people can make top 40 radio groove in their bedroom on their laptop.. their is no true craft behind it now...

I think that Gaga has realized this .. and her producers are pushing for something more.. Born This Way was a testament to that.. trying to implement 80s stadium rock into a dance filled song... It worked for the most part but didn't quite over power the industrial sound that has been dominating-

ARTPOP isn't going to be your typical project and I think it's becoming more apparent that it will be ground breaking.. more so than Born This Way sonically. When ZEDD says 2050 I clearly think we can expect that... and that scares me a little bit for commercial appeals sake... it may take 10 years for ARTPOP to actually be recognized as something groundbreaking ( and I feel the same way with Born This Way on tracks like Highway Unicorn and Electric Chapel especially )..

So for us to get upset over a date is kind of like the guy in Titanic demanding more speed for headlines.. but they hit the iceberg as a result... moving too fast and not seeing where you are going and not being able to avoid something if you need to... ARTPOP doesn't need a deadline... If someone told Davinci he had 3 days to paint the Mona Lisa would it have been so beautiful.. idk just food for thought..

Legendary post! I agree with this. And honestly, with how pushy the Pop and EDM industry is going, most of the stuff in the early process of ARTPOP has been outdated, so they're trying to make a project that will push the envelope a little further and take the mainstream concept of the two a little above and beyond. If there's one thing about Gaga we should all know by now, she's always trying to create something fresh. I have faith that Gaga and her team will accomplish this goal flawlessly.

Secondly, people tend to forget that before Gaga, music didn't sound the way it does today. The Fame was a fresh sound, and now that other artists have taken it to their advantage, everything sounds the same and her accomplishments have been blended into the mix. Gaga has to take what she's been doing and top it, making a new sound that distinguishes her from the rest.
