Dope was written because Lady Gaga wanted it to be that way, not because Interscope was trying to force it. I don't think they would have wanted her to change from I Wanna Be With You to Dope either. How is it confirmed? She literally said this lol I’m willing to be told otherwise, but the gal herself said a few different times that interscope pushed for a ballad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichAssPiss 4,929 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I know Gaga is a huge artist now, but I honestly think we are lucky that we haven't heard much about label drama since ARTPOP. I wonder if her renewal contract with Interscope gave her the music equivalent of "final cut" in cinema where she gets to deliver the albums and not take notes.

For example, Joanne (surprisingly) had a ton of promo, 4mv, international stuff, etc. Pandemic aside (as we've seen countless artists made a pandemic era thrive) is Interscope going to continue to give Gaga the sh*t end of the stick for future eras? Or does she not enjoy making mvs anymore and mainly does it to fit the bill assigned from the label? I'm so interested to see what the post-pandemic, House of Gucci, make-up mogul LG7 era will be like. Will they make up for the stuff missed out on Chromatica era? Joanne needed it since it was so left field for her. Chromatica is typical Gaga. It has 3 videos so it’s basically good on a promo end lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People speculate that's why she scrapped the original ARTPOP and started again. Also apparently they kept saying 'we just want a ballad from you, ballads are really in right now' which is why she wrote Dope as a F you to them stating "you want a ballad. I'll give you a real f.uckin ballad" I don’t understand why fans think there was an “original ARTPOP” when ARTPOP was always mostly the same during the making, aside from Burqa turning to Aura, and Venus and Dope being made after the injury. But yeah Dope was her way of rebelling against the labels needy and greedy requests. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists make music because they want to, but it also gives them something to promote. How does an artist go on tour with no album to promote? Ofcourse they would release music without it making money. It’s called a loss leader. You’re also forgetting people don’t buy albums anymore, they stream them. There’s no money in streaming. Releasing albums alone is not a huge revenue earner, and it possibly never was. This is why labels are obsessed with 360 deals so they can send artists out on tour, sell merch and pimp them out for product endorsements. They need as many revenue streams as possible because albums alone aren’t enough. Artists can make all the music they want (even though they actually can't). But that doesn't mean it sees the light of day. Labels control an artist's release schedule. You can't loss lead for a tour if you can't tour friend. And that was the case from 2020 until a few months ago. So you're saying labels were just taking losses for two years while artists just got on Spotify and hit publish on their songs? Hint: taking a loss for 2 years would never work because that's not how labels finance records. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss when her music videos used to be events. The visual impact she had reverberated throughout the entire industry. I don't care how much she tries to rebrand the 'Gaga' aspect of her image, Gaga isn't Gaga without the visuals and the theatrics.

If they don't allot the budget to the artist, they gotta work with what they got. I think is why Gaga used her own $$$ for ARTPOP era stuff She wasn’t that big back then.I mean she was within her fanbase but another reason why her label didn’t want to budget the era was the low sales compared to BTW success and so on.Now she’s a SUPER star Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just considering the absence of any and all backup promo for Chromatica, while brand new artists on other labels were thriving.. I hope things are okay behind the scenes, but the promo silence during Chromatica was deafening I think it's genuinely because stuff kept happening whenever they tried to restart the era and Gaga probably started to get discouraged. You have to remember that they spent 2 years planning a massive rollout for the album, the CEO of Interscope literally said that Chromatica was intended to have one of the biggest debuts of all time before COVID happened. (Here is the exact quote “one of the best rollouts planned for an album ever” ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga was huge again when she dropped chromatica and had the Scooter Braun machine pumping RoM. By contrast, we know they struggled messaging Joanne based on the frustrations expressed in 5F2 coming after a few years of relative unpopularity then an album distinctly un-Gaga (within the realm of pop lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not doubt the ballad thing, but Lady Gaga definitely wanted a ballad herself considering she wrote I Wanna Be With U and Dope out of her own intention. The change to Dope was done by herself. (There was a thread on here in 2020 I think that confirmed this but I'm not sure; it might have been the document leak thread.) he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
