LG8 is gonna be ARTPOP 2.0

[gagzus 18,024]

Now i know some of you probably read the title and either did one of two things; rolled your eyes because you "hate EDM" or thought i meant Act II. OR maybe you think i mean in terms of reception or success. But alas I do not.

I think that LG8 is gonna be the SPIRITUAL SUCCESOR to ARTPOP and here's why; Gaga has made it clear she's now comfortable with claiming her style from years ago as her own on Mayhem and she combined all the best parts of her old music into what she wanted her music to be years ago before she had all the tools and artistic vision. But now years on with her being happy to make music again I think she's probably ready to have fun with her music again. 
I think the next album is gonna be a mix of Dance music with real elements. And here's why;

1) Gaga has actually answered direct questions related to ARTPOP more this era, she thinks Princess Die deserves a release, but assured us she wouldn't be putting out old demos. She also said when working on Mayhem she DID consider reworking old work beforehand. 

2) Madeon. This is a point i've not seen come up; Madeon was the one who confirmed Gaga remixed the Abra performance on the GRAMMYs but- HOW DID HE KNOW THAT? My guess is he's one of the producers she's been in the studio with.

3) Madeon fits into this evolution because he produced MJH, and that song whilst HEAVY EDM also feels like a Metal song in a Hardstyle song's body. He confirmed Gaga has been working with analog synths herself lately (once again HOW did he know this unless he had been working with her).

4) Moroder. If she really has worked with him Moroder makes Disco music that skews more towards the electronic side see: I Feel Love. Disco influence is all over ARTPOP in it's Four-On-The-Floor beats, Disco and Funk bass' and even some synths and guitars.

5) She met with Will.i.am before Mayhem happened (perhaps the album was already done by this time who knows), and whilst she may have not had him on the album. Who's to say maybe she wouldn't work with him again? Since she seems still friends with him and he said he would happily work with her again.

6) NIN drummer joining her for the GRAMMYs, perhaps she's working with NIN on the album too.

So basically what I'm saying is; I think the next album is gonna be like Mary Jane Holland, Venus & Fashion. I think she'll reclaim her more experimental status and make an album with pop hooks but with heavy basslines, real guitars and analog synths. Maybe even some real live drums.

My guesses are the album will be a mature evolved version of ARTPOP sonically with production from Madeon, Moroder and NIN (and maybe even will.i.am) because Gaga rarely makes 2 albums with the same producers in a row (Watt & Cirkut). So yeah this is just my theory feel free to stick in your own theories.

EDIT:

For those who may not know THIS is the sound Madeon is currently doing

Now tell me this does NOT sound like a harder rocky disco dance sound Gaga could kill

Is this a threat?

Now, if she can get with Nile Rodgers…

... Believe it or not ...

Chromatica was ARTPOP's spiritual successor. Was it experimental? No BUT the core of ARTPOP was "...Pain exploding in electronic music..."

I would LOVE more EDM from Gaga, but I feel the rock album is more likely

[darkgaga 6,540]

Well the fact that Madeon responded to someone confirming she did the rock mix herself is strange. Indeed how would he know, when they havent at least been in contact recently

did Gaga actually say ARTPOP was about "...Pain exploding in electronic music..." because she did run with the idea that it was her "immature album" prior to her release.

Yeah it’s in the ARTPOP visual from the album shoot with I&V online “This album is a celebration, my pain exploding in electronic music, it’s heavy but when I listen to it I feel lighter again”

You see she never really follows convention, we’ve never been able to predict what her next album will sound like since ARTPOP. We thought Joanne was gonna be disco and dark, we thought Chromatica was gonna be “ARTPOP’s little sister” when she started with DJWS and then like BTW synth pop when Stupid Love dropped. I feel like Rock is either too obvious OR she’s gonna (like I said l) basically make heavy electronic music that has the spirit of Rock and Metal in it.

This to me is a THE biggest tell sign that we don’t talk about enough, I think he’s secretly the next main producer she wants and is the producer she worked with back in October on her last break (also wouldn’t be surprised if he is working with her this break too). He’s evolved as a producer so I can totally see her wanting to be involved with him since he’s the only one besides DJWS she seemed to work with in person on tour making ARTPOP

For her to make actual experimental music again? Well YES

that we know off, or publicly. But we don't have access to her phone. 

She does strike me as someone who keeps in touch with the people she works or has worked with

I mean she must do since she randomly had dinner with Will before mayhem came out 

[RichAssPiss 5,013]

Based on her interview answers about considering redoing Mayhem in the style of Perfect Celebrity as an electro-grunge record, the Grammy performance with a rock feel, and the rumor Mayhem Requiem will be more of these electro-grunge arrangements....that would be my guess.

But keep in mind she called Born This Way "avant-garde techno rock." So rock doesn't mean heavy metal here.

I hope not ARTPOP was my least fav album

In my humble opinion, I think it’s possible that Gaga might revisit ARTPOP and release a successor — maybe not as an Act II with the unreleased tracks she produced at the time (which would be cool if she reworked some demos into a successor, but I think that’s unlikely). Being as honest as possible, I’d really like at least “TEA” from those famous ARTPOP-era demos to be reworked and officially released. I think the theme fits perfectly with Gaga’s universe, and I can totally imagine her doing something around that concept. She used to walk around with teacups everywhere as a fashion accessory… Anyway, nice thread, and it makes sense.
