salty like sodium 1,046 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) So it was a Harlequin listening party!!! She showed up at around 11pm. There was food and drinks served (these weren't really themed, but nicer than nothing so it's still nice). Doors opened at 8:30. Was a small little venue with only about 130 invited. There was an area where people could have their photo taken to recreate the album cover. A lot of people from her entourage were there, like Michael came in. Joaquin was in but no one realised or noticed that he was there it seems (and he left right before everyone else on Gaga's team left). Gaga came in and started jumping and dancing and talking about Harlequin. There are two original tracks: FAD and track 12. Everything else is a cover. The album sounded great (for a cover album) – production and vocals were strong. I didn't get to see much of her, I was more towards the back and don't believe in harrassing pop stars because I can imagine it's not really fun to be chased around a room. But I had a good time ! Thanks Universal UK! Edited September 26 by salty like sodium 2 5 5 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty like sodium 1,046 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Also it's Michael's birthday sept 26 apparently so Gaga made us sing him happy birthday when she came in, which was very cute. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Universal UK! What genre were most of the tracks? Was there a lot of rock influence on the album or was it mostly jazzy? Can't really gauge the overall vibe of the album from the few snippets I've seen floating around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a lot of rock influence on the album or was it mostly jazzy? Can't really gauge the overall vibe of the album from the few snippets I've seen floating around. i' m not really good at describing genres, it's definitely not a rock album. the one from her teaser (i guess that's fad?) is the most rock track. so maybe lg7 will be more rock? idk. a couple of tracks were quite danceable, i'd say it's primarily done in a classic style (so jazz, traditional ballad, or rock/blues influences). it's all music inspired by or used in the film if that makes sense. also was probably a bit hard to fully hear the tracks in that loud bar. imagine her doing a cover of charlie chaplin's smile that isn't a crazy reinvention, and you probably have a good sense of what the overall style is. again i might be totally wrong in my assessment, but that's how i'd describe it. i liked it more than l4s though.

salty like sodium 1,046 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Also for anyone wondering who got invited or not, I definitely spent more than £500 on her shop in the past 4 years... Idk if I should be proud or ashamed of that. 1 1 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also stayed near the back, though she did venture out into the crowd a few times. It was insane. I didn’t manage to hold her hand and dance with her to one of the songs briefly ❤️ Edited September 26 by JasWGaga 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle 4 Ur Life 6,348 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I already know I’m gonna LOVE Harlequin. It’s definitely a concept album and that stimulates me creatively. Smash With a Smile 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilboyblue 3,805 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Thank you for coming back to tell us all about it! Can't wait for tonight to listen to the album. How about FAD? Can you confirm that she's singing in it and is not just an instrumental? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fede ARTPOP 6,227 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 14 hours ago, salty like sodium said: For everyone wondering etc. I think they probably did do it for someone who bought a certain amount. If I remember well I did buy a LOT of stuff from her shop (and now am a bit ashamed lololol). I bought a few Chromatica CDs/cassettes and vinyls, the DOC vinyl and CD, the L4S box set (the really expensive one), the BTW anniversary vinyl and probably some other stuff. So I think there was probably a spend threshold. For anyone wanting to be a +1 or the address, unfortunately all +1s had to be named and submitted way back at 1pm and only named people on the guest list (with photo id) will be allowed entry. So they invited fans over 1K$…how was the checking entrance? Security and that? She was so close! now·taw·ree·uhs bee·uhng Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
