Cameltoe Chariot 14,245 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Disclaimer/intro: Spoiler I know the last thing anyone wants is another thread re: disease and it's current streaming stats so lemme just nip that in the bud and say that's not what I'm doing here in the slightest. Otherwise I would've just posted in one of the billion other threads full of complaints, meltdowns and speculation I'll just get right to it: the sheer quality of Disease (as well as the short snippets she previewed in Paris) leads me to believe that this project is a very focused and dedicated return to form for Gaga, and that we're only just seeing the beginning. I know these days we're all programmed to think that everything to do with entertainment and online exposure needs to be immediate, massive and CONSTANT in order to smash, but I don't agree with this at ALL. Three of the biggest artists this year (Charli, Sabrina and Chappell) all have one thing in common: they've been hustling for years with a slowburn approach to their careers and things have only just clicked for them. I truly think these three have collectively proven to record labels that they need to nurture their artists/rollouts and let the momentum build instead of trying to capture it right out of the gate. Everyone is imploding from disappointment right now thinking that Gaga has missed her chance by not releasing a music video at launch. Meanwhile all the chronically obsessed Gaga haters out there are literally foaming at their mouths, ecstatic that they've finally got their moment to shine. But fear not monsters, I really think everyone is going to be backtracking and feeling embarrassed come Halloween. Since February I've been on here trying to calm you kids down - it's clear the leakers back then were right about everything and I believe LG7 was supposed to launch around The Chromatica Ball Film premiere. It's likely that after Gaga's team saw the final cut of J:FAD they knew it would disappoint and that's when she decided to control the narrative a bit by releasing her Harlequin companion album. After listening to both Harlequin and the J:FAD soundtrack back to back it's easy to see why: J:FAD's soundtrack features Gaga's "bad singing" as Harley on every track. Knowing the movie likely would underperform, Harlequin was a means to nip extra ammo for the haters by releasing proper vocal recordings of the same songs. The short lived media blitz around the launch of Harlequin was also a way to fulfill marketing commitments but keep the focus on Gaga's music and artistry rather than the film itself. I think all of that above also led to the decision to delay LG7, and to sandwich the rollout of J:FAD with Harlequin and the launch of LG7's first single. The video for Disease is done. It's likely her best video yet. And by letting the song get good reception on its own before launching it on Halloween is a great way to completely sidestep J:FAD and debut the spooky era everyone has been begging for her to do for over a decade. TLDR: Sit down, chill the f*ck out, stream Disease and get ready for the best album of Gaga's career. She's currently experiencing her strongest chart performance of her CAREER so far with DWAS, nearly 20 years into her career. We don't need to worry about streaming numbers anymore sistren Edited October 29 by Cameltoe Chariot 8 14 10 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonsago 6,518 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Yasssss I agree, we are truly not ready for all this era is about to give us. I am so obsessed with Disease it’s her best pop song in over a decade and THEY KNOW IT TOO TRUST, they will not just let it go by. Also, I agree, I truly believe Harlequin was more strategic than we’d like to admit because let’s be real, what’s the point of releasing 2 albums ( OST & Harlequin ) with essentially almost the same songs??? Gaga and her team either knew after or while Joker was being made that this not gonna be good and with all the potential upcoming hate, the bad singing in the movie would get spun around and attract criticism for her as a singer too OR they simply did it JUST IN CASE. I am not denying that Gaga must have LOVED making the project just as she expressed herself, but this is still business and she has to protect what she built so far. And it WORKED because guess what? We literally had viral tweets saying the same thing, that she knew she had to show that she can sing the songs. She really transitioned gracefully from the whole Joker mess in part due to Harlequin’s existance. Now, Disease and LG7 LET’S GO! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
