Reality 72,130 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I posted this in the "Gaga in studio" thread, but @Schizophonic suggested I make it its own separate thread, so here we go Ok I have a wild ass theory, but stick with me... The outfits she wore in the posts last week resembled David Bowie's Thin White Duke persona. The fact that the photos were in black and white also matches the Thin White Duke aesthetics. From Wikipedia, "the Duke was a hollow man who sang songs of romance with an agonised intensity while feeling nothing, 'dry ice masquerading as fire'". Maybe the black heart emoji is a hint? 🖤 Bowie also described that persona as an "ogre", hence the ogre emoji. 👹 Now the alien emoji from her latest post? The Thin White Duke is a persona from Bowie's Station to Station album, which took inspiration from Bowie's film The Man Who Fell to Earth, where he plays an alien named Thomas Jerome Newton 👽 I'm thinking that Gaga is doing something similar with Joker 2. Maybe filming that movie—which she called a very introspective time for herself—influenced her to make an album somewhat inspired by it. Of course it's not a "Harley" album, but similar to how the Thin White Duke & Thomas Newton/The Man Who Fell to Earth influenced Bowie's Station to Station era, maybe Harley/Joker 2 influenced LG7 Ok that's all 𝕀𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕒 𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕣, 𝕀 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕓𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕖𝕧𝕖 9 1 5 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophonic 7,015 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Thanks honey, like I said… I find that theory highly interesting and logic. I‘m pretty sure she kind of did the same with Joanne/ASIB and TheCure/Ally. A lot people were really surprised by her talent on AStar and it was almost as if she prepared something in advance for the new audience to enjoy… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 45,508 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 When 👹 turns out to just be the emoji she uses to describe Michael then what we gonna do? jk I actually really think you raised an interesting theory tbh. I like the idea of her personifying something in this transitional period where she is working on projects that can bleed into each other inspiration wise. Love IT! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,076 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Love this but it's all dependent on if Gaga is actually using Emojis to convey the era. She did with Chromatica but not until after the era had started I believe... discord.gg/hausofdelulu The #1 Discord for Delusional Little Monsters!

King of the Fall 3,792 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Let us hope that if Gaga is channeling Thin White Duke, it results in an album even half as good as Station to Station. It is a very dark and funky sound that I could totally see her nailing and will mean she is diving into uncharted territory.

Schizophonic 7,015 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 i would like to know why she hides her face in the professional studio pics the ones in purple she had sunglasses in a already dark studio and hand on mouth... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmonster 208 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 and that station to station intro is very reminiscent of the chromatica ball interlude for me so yeah 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I listen to this album, the more I am convinced that Gaga could body something like this.

Levine 22,656 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Black heart = The Black Duchess? Would that be a problematic title? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel like she changes too much across the span of an era to stick to it. She kinda had a few things going during ARTPOP like the goddess of love and such which I thoroughly enjoyed I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Would that be a problematic title? if we stay with bowie, i think she refers to a cold heart and not a black one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
