i love it, i think the picture is beautiful

[Guest]

ANYONE ELSE CONFUSED about the ARTPOP promo pics being so different from the single cover??? We go from really futuristic, high tech pictures, to this Pierrot-esque single cover... How is she gonna make this all work and make it all look like one whole body of work?

 

 

A directional fashion component seems like a given from an artist who has embraced and been embraced by fashion, both haute and experimental. She mentions that the white cloth that surrounds her in the “Applause†cover image is a coat by Gareth Pugh. But when asked if he had a larger influence in the ARTPOP look, she responds with part deflection, part abstraction, turning the question back at the reporter: “It’s interesting how you view things, and you look at it like, I’m a pop icon, and [you wonder] ‘Is this the image of the album? Is this the direction? Who came up with it?’ I think that’s so interesting because it’s exactly the kind of thing we’re trying to destroy. This is one jacket. This is one image. This is one moment. This is one statement.

“When you watch each image and you watch each thing come out, they might not look exactly the same,†says Gaga. “[i’m not] defined by the same designer or defined by the same hair cut or defined by the same icon. The statement is that I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.â€

I think thats what she was talking about in the interview. The common theme is art. Its not one type of art or image, its every image.

yippee! 

 

I hope the message behind needing the "applause" gets explored throughly enough. On the surface, it wouldn't be much different from Britney's Circus or a host of other songs and videos about putting on a show blah bla bla. But knowing Gaga, we can expect for things to never be too simple.... so I don't think it's a legitimate concern.  :P

read her interview for WWD...

Ugh, that article GAVE ME LIFE! I've been needing to hear Gaga talk about herself and her work like that for ages. :cry:

****ing christ this single cover is amazing. Hands down her best cover ever, and one of the best single covers I have ever seen for any musician.

[ARTPOP Gypsy 3]

So excited!

 

She really BROKE her hip though.  :cry:

If we can keep this as straight article discussion, that'd be great thanks :)

I'm a bit mad bc she hid that injury for so long, but grateful she took care of it when she did

[Jenniferella 2,774]

The whole article is a gold mine of information !

 

I don't really get how she's going to image the "I'm every icon" idea, pretty exciting ! 

 

It's so good to have so much info tbh
