An album with covers from Harley’s POV is cool I love Tori’s Strange Little Girls.

Eurgh this coming just after Kylie’s Tension II pre-order last week and tour tickets to get tomorrow 😭 But I couldn’t risk missing the exclusive vinyl with that artwork!!

I honestly can’t believe how much we’re getting fed. Yes, we’d all love a full album of originals, but we have that coming next year. So for a surprise treat, I’m really excited to see how this sounds. I enjoy CTC and LFS more than what I would for ambient background music, and I would have loved a Ally companion album for ASIB, so I think this will be a decent cross between these sides of her tbf.

She hasn't even released this yet???

No. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a cover album. 

To make it clear, I am aware she doesn’t have to pander to us all. 
All I’m saying is that I’m not a fan of cover albums and I’m looking forward to LG7 more

My feeling too. She could have always added the original songs as bonus on the soundtrack if there wasn't much difference. She's not one to put out a million versions of the same album with one or two tracks different (*ahem*) so there must be something substantially different, and as you say, have a reason to exist 

Like, even the way she titled the tracks suggest they will be interpreted differently — Close To You, World On A String, Oh, When The Saints... these are not the original titles of these songs.

I'll be an enjoyable listen man. It'll probally have some originals and reimagined covers all in one, and next month we'll also have the lead to LG7.

Many of the little complainers here on this forum truly do not deserve Gaga. This woman not only created a pop album, but she also made a companion album to a movie she feels so strongly about.

I guarantee you she had us in mind when making this album, so the wait for LG7 is not as bad, and yet here some of y'all are, just complaining and never satisfied. 

This is the truth that many here need to understand:

Gaga does NOT owe anyone anything. She became an artist because of her vision for her music, and WE signed up to support her because we believed/believe in her as an artist. If you expect a certain bespoke album that you get to dictate what should sound like, then I hate to break it to you, but you need to find a new fave. 

Artists grow and so does their creation process. To pigeonhole someone to a sound you crave because of your nostalgia does not make you a fan. It makes you an entitled self-proclaimed LM who has zero appreciation to the work and dedication Gaga puts into her work.

You either sign up for her evolution or stop calling yourself a fan. I'm sure she wouldn't be happy about the negativity that you keep drowning her with every time she makes an artistic choice that doesn't align with your vision. She's the artist, you're not.

HARLEQUEEN

“Its primary component is the contrast between the solemn jester (the titular Stańczyk) and the lively ball going on in the background. The painting presents Stańczyk with a sense of isolation and hopelessness, which reflects the political situation of Poland during the 19th century.”

”Working on this painting, Matejko was also inspired by the book Król zamczyska by Seweryn Goszczyński, whose main character – a loner, living in the castle's ruins, trying to reconcile past and present, and himself inspired by Stańczyk – likely influenced this painting.”

I hope they're rock covers. Love her rock voice ever since I heard her sing that snippet of Led Zeppelin's Black Dog.

Plus this might also mean we end up getting a rock album a la Midnight Sky

And I don’t owe Lady Gaga a damn thing either. I want original music. End of. It’s not that deep

Love the alternate vinyl cover but the red vinyl disk looks much better. Idk which one to get. Given that it’s mostly a side project filled with covers I might skip on purchasing it. I’ll have to listen to it first on Spotify.
