Chlorine 47,358 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I was thinking... Gaga changed a lot over the years, particularly after ARTPOP. She worked very hard to be relatable, showcase her talent, and establish herself as an Academy darling. Her recent music has been disconnected from the beginning of her career when she was arguably the most iconic and biggest popstar in the world. So the question is... was a return to darkness "inevitable"... or was Gaga reassured and encouraged by the viral success of Bloody Mary that the public does in fact want/miss/need Mother Monster again? 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Jax 515 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) She was probably planning it somewhat anyway, but the whole TikTok Bloody Mary thing ramped it up a notch. Edited May 31 by Axl Jax 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 34,387 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 We still don't know what LG7 is going to be like so we have yet to see lol. The success of A Star Is Born and Shallow made fans think she was going for an adult / piano / ballad sound and she came up with Chromatica. 6 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickitung 180 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I think it was inevitable, to be honest. Darkgaga is a part of her. But I do agree that Bloody Mary's success played a part on it. I wouldn't be surprised if she's revisiting the "original LG5" (I love Joanne, don't get me wrong) for this next album (it would explain why she's saying things like "you cant rush it" and "magic potions take time") 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielM 2,015 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Pop culture moves in waves. Like the early 2010s, pop music is statured with relatable, colorful acts. Gaga is taking the chance to be the first to break the code again. Also, I think she is now more comfortable with her songwriting skills, so I'm expecting 80s rock influence as in great lyricism, long verses, etc. I think the dark visuals go with it. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homomo 23,768 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I personally believe she was always going to venture back into her darker sounds like her earlier days. But as another member said, the success of BM most likely gave her that extra motivation. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutella 3,917 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Love this thread. I will never have enough Bloody Mary talk. I think her musical style is going to be somewhat cyclical to an extent. Sonically speaking, Chromatica was light (arguably too light 👀) and a return to dark, spooky, growling music was called for 🩸 Here’s hoping, at least Bloody Mary Bloody Mary Bloody Mary 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
palma 7,213 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 She knows ASIB didn't smash in Azerbaijan so she's not taking any risks this time around Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is the most likely scenario. Probably had a few different ideas, a dark direction being one of them and seeing the viral success of BM, it ushered that idea forward.
