toanythingtaboo 5 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 At this point, I don't think ACT II is the way to go. The benefit to doing it was to quickly release damage control music that could cohesively sit alongside the artRAVE and have its sales combined with ARTPOP to counteract the underperformance. Considering the tour doesn't appear to be extending into 2015 - cohesion isn't an issue, and really I don't think beefing up ARTPOP's sales will change opinions on it. People want to dislike ARTPOP and label it a failure. Trying to prove them wrong is unlikely to work - they're going to think she's undermining her concept of ARTPOP by going more 'pop' to sell it, and no matter how good the music is, they're going to drag it down because of ACT I. And frankly, ACT II won't stand a chance if it looks like she's just using ARTPOP B-Sides (Partynauseus, Princess Die, Brooklyn Nights, Tea, Ratchet etc.). If I were her, I'd opt for a new start with a new album. Probably a progressive disco/house/R&B pop sound that's minimal, fresh, s-xy and catchy. Collaborate with Beyonce and Justin Timberlake. Could have a loose space theme considering her trip. Regardless, if she's aiming to come back fighting for the pop crown, she can't mess around. She needs writers/producers who will challenge to bring the best out of her, strategic collaborations and a killer marketing plan. Her A game needs to be brought here. She also should think about how best to set up her new era through featuring on other artists songs (namely a summer club anthem and an urban track to open up demographics).

seana39223 1 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 She really should just put Act 2 songs on the app surely that was the point of the app. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DXPE 924 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I hope she sort of ditches ACT 2 at this point. What I sort of want for the next album is a darker and grittier album. Like The Fame Monster with more rock influences. I would love to hear finished versions of Brooklyn Nights, Princess Die and Partynausious(?) with Kendrick Lamar, since those tracks all are on the darker side. It would be nice to hear some legendary collabs with Britney, Elton and and even Cher if she made The Greatest Thing more pop rock influenced. I would love RedOne, DJWS, Rick Rubin and more Gaga production. Just my thoughts on the next record/ACT 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alposnacks 1 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes!! The Fame Monster and BTW are her two masterpieces. A dark, rock influenced album would be the best of the two worlds. I hope she sort of ditches ACT 2 at this point. What I sort of want for the next album is a darker and grittier album. Like The Fame Monster with more rock influences.

lxdygxga 3,353 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I agree that I think she needs a fresh concept and to come storming through with a brand new album, but there's so much music she wrote for ARTPOP that we will probably never hear, which makes me yearn for Act II to become reality. That's why I hoped the app would actually be used to release music as intended, but it hasn't been, which is disappointing. We could have had a whole album's worth of leftover material from ARTPOP on there already, and it'd enforce the "music not the bling" message in that we get the music she loves to make for us without the toxicity of the industry nonsense in between. I really hope we get the music she had on Act II in some form - whatever it may be. It's sad to think how much material she has sitting around that we'll never get to hear, and I'd hate to pile anymore on top of that. I think the best thing to play devil's advocate would be a very quiet release of Act II - just for the fans, if nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
