Biggest mistake during ARTPOP era?

Major hot take: I really don't like leaked demo of "Aura" aka Burqa

Also the whole “ARTPOP was late to the EDM trend” is kinda bogus since we had EDM dominating the charts still until 2020. Hence why Rain on Me (an EDM song) was a #1 hit. And a year before Joanne came out Justin Bieber & Skrillex kicked off the Tropical House trend that lasted from 2015 until 2018. During which Gaga got her first streaming hit The Cure which was a combination of R&B and Tropical House.

Agree with all of this.

But what I will say, the age of big room House & similar edm styles were starting to sunset in favour of other genres. 

So in that sense, ARTPOP did come at the end of the wave.

I mean meh I still say the only songs that ACTUALLY sounded like that were Venus and Swine.

The majority of the album sounded nothing remotely like what was on trend really. Even GUY and Donatella which were pretty close to Zedd’s own sound weren’t like his biggest radio songs. Swine was probably the only song that followed the actual Dancepop formula from radio at the time which the beat drop and 30 second dance break that songs like Pound The Alarm, Clarity, We Found Love and Wake Me Up had. I even remember before we had the credits because of the leak thinking Swine was 100% a Zedd song because it had elements that resembled a lot of his songs and other hits on radio at the time.

Then we have Aura which was like HARD left of center, and still her most experimental song ever. Which is still hope every day she’ll make music that experimental again.
