yes! bring back the wild experimentation!

Yeah I want her to make experimental electronic music again like she used to, the last time she did that was with SOPHIE and it never made it to Chromatica, and then before that was ARTPOP

Ye SOPHIE was a massive missed opportunity.

I would have loved it if Bloodpop and SOPHIE both co-produced Chromatica, (and if Gaga was more creatively invested in it). It would have pushed the album way above next level

Id argue Born This Way or Joanne were already that tbh

True you could argue that. Especially BTW n maybe not so with Joanne, but it's a bit defeatist to say that since both albums have been and gone. 

Imo ANTI and Lemonade were made later on in their careers and were a big creative and stylistic switch-up from their usual sound (and MAGDALENE to to an extent), so I'd love Gaga to do the same. Find an interesting marriage of styles and sounds that both evoke and also revolutionise her classic style into a new style (if that makes sense ). A filler-less collection of unique and meticulously designed songs paired with a striking album cover.

I have no idea whatsoever. probably what you said on OP. something like pop rock. I can see her pulling some kind of Beck sound but maybe more drawn to electronic pop.

which I’m totally here for and may actually hit the charts if done meticulously well.

I genuinely still think think modern day disco music would encapsulate Gaga as a whole. She can use a combination of electronic and live instrumentation, big pop hooks, amazing larger than life fashion as well as glamorous fashion, the use of a live band and a massive show. I would love for her to sit down with people like Nile Rodgers properly and Brian May and she could make music that combines all her influences into one.

I think she needs to learn that on her own though. Because it’s a big compilation of Pop, Rock, Jazz, Dance, House and the height of the disco era has such iconic and referential moments that she has even referenced before.

Ye I agree with all of that, but I think that Dua Lipa has kinda already done that to a lesser extent, and suits the disco vibe better than Gaga. I think Gaga's music goes above and beyond disco. I'd rather her do something modern and experimental and future thinking, rather than fall back onto older eras of music like she often does.

Now you see, id argue Dua didn’t give us the true essence of disco because she doesn’t have the voice, fashion sense and knowledge of how queer it is. Gaga’s version of I Want Your Love alone for me encapsulates the true spirit of Disco far more than Dua’s entire album did. Personal opinion of course. 
 

such as shame Gaga never made more of a big deal about being on a CHIC album of all things but did for The Rolling Stones 

also Gaga’s best albums (to me) have been when she has thrown back to the genres that she was influenced by but put her own spin on it, sadly she hasn’t done that since BTW

Ye I totally agree with you there, and disco has been present in a lot of her early work, and the Chic cover is amazing.

But she did country western with Joanne, then 90's House with Chromatica, so following that with Disco would seem a bit idk predictable or her just trying on classic styles like they were clothes. It would definitely suit her but I can't help but think it would be a soft option for her. Maybe too cliché

I'd rather she pull another Bad Romance move - make something completely off the wall and experimental that no one has rly ever heard before and that they weren't sure would stick with the public. 

I think Bad Romance is more in tune with catwalk music, as is Scheiße and HML in a way. More modern and edgy. Idk I might be reaching here.

Yeah very true, I like that she keeps us guessing. She could make use of more samples in new ways like she did with Bad Romance as well because almost the entirety of the beat is samples from 90s techno recreated anew. That’s probably why I like Replay and the Free Woman demo so much.

omg YES! Condemnation and Get Right With Me were my first thought when someone in this thread said she will record gospel.

SOFAD’s gospel-rock matches all of our current LG7 hints 

(but fr, I know that music is basically her religion and it is not that deep)

Even songs like Sacred from Music for the Masses and Useless from ULTRA

[Angel Wings 33]

All I know is that I don't want a deep dive into a specific music genre like some of you guys want. It has to be pop, but I'm not against having other genre influences.
It has to be mature with sophisticated lyrics that only being a middle-aged woman would give her. Something fun and clever at the same time, something that speaks with Generation Z, something in the sense that there are struggles which she and the current generation are subjected to. Not some dull and outdated thing like chromatica, or too raw and distant from her sound like Joanne was. 
I want some of her TFM sound with indie tendencies and, 70's and 90's rock admixture. It cannot be dance, it has to be a pop record focused on the lyrics if she wants to snatch that AOTY Grammy.

i expect it to be gay as hell regardless of the genre
