You’ll have to research it since we’re not allowed to share here. If you’re curious, though, the documents that leaked had a plethora of information. From contracts in her early years and all throughout her career up until 2020. I’m talking from contracts to her dancers, band members, partnerships and every business venture she’s been involved in. 

Do you have the dom perignon leaked contract?

but what has she worked on with bloodpop since chromatica? HM could have come from either joanne or chromatica writing sessions it seems

If I remember correctly, they worked on Hold My Hand in 2019 and after Top Gun: Maverick release was postponed due to Covid, they reworked and rerecorded it (and Gaga rewrote the score with Hans Zimmer).

No other labels will be as good as Interscope for Gaga. She is in good company.
 

And based on what enlisted on the back of Harlequin, I assume Gaga have renewed her contracts, and also get more control and power over her arts, since she put her label that she built with Michael on there too (Lil Monsters LLC under Interscope Records.)

Gaga going independent would mean we'll get even less crumbs.

A long read and explanation ahead btw.

Actually based on her contracts we’re not. The clause in her contract states she must have label executives approval to reuse songs from other album recording sessions to release on albums thus meaning a fully recorded and produced song ready to be at least mastered or put out so nothing that wasn’t fully produced (which technically Earthquake was not), but she could easily get a round that through music copyright law.

For example she used less than 30 seconds taken from Earthquake (anymore than 30 seconds samples- even if it’s a short sample looped for more than 30 secs requires legal to get involved) and changed lyrics in the last line of the sample, since it wasn’t a direct copy & paste sample- it’s only interpolation. So she only needed permission from the composer and the writer (aka herself) to use it.

We also know NOBTR for example was (seemingly) fully re-recorded for ARTPOP at the fans behest, however she renamed the song and had DJWS reproduce the instrumental that only featured an interpolation not a direct sample of the original, and knowing Gaga I imagine she probably rewrote most of the song since she had no involvement other than singing on the track for the original demo (she isn’t credited at all as a writer, producer or composer and it’s the only song we know of in her career).

NOBTR was a demo not made in an exclusive Interscope funded recording sessions (album session) so she could re-record it easily. However it seems Earthquake may have been for BTW since it was recorded alongside the likes of Changing Skies (which we know was part of the very early sessions when she started touring TMB). So interpolation was her way around it.

I also think we never got the re-recording of NOBTR (renamed Heard It! On The Radio) because they refused her the interpolation rights for the original melody and the synth in the track. Bc the original people who wrote, composed and produced the song would get less money from Gaga’s version since they’d only be credited as composers and writers with a smaller cut of profits. Plus they probs knew she wasn’t gonna release it as a single back in the early days of streaming so even less money.

 

Ohohoooh thanks for this! This is fascinating
