Guille 839 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think the controversy here would indeed come to fruition, but not as much as Judas for instance, in a worldwide context. Being brutally and coldly honest, the whole catholic imagery and ideals hit a nerve with a high percentage of people in western culture (aka GP), as opposed to the very geographically-specific Muslim culture. And as the whole music industry is based on western values and artists, the backlash would probably happen, yeah, but it wouldn't be as 'outrageous' or lasting, if done tastefully. Of course Muslim extremists would surely be VERY vocal about it, no matter how tasteful it is, but then again, they don't have that much of an active voice in pop culture. Besides, the whole burqa concept is widely regarded by non-Muslims as a form of repression of women's rights and gender equality, so it does relate to lots of Gaga themes. It might not only be about the actual Muslim culture, but cultural oppression in general. So, assuming the song actually does exist, which is something no one still knows for sure, there might even be some positive comments from influential western critics... and me, actually. I think that if done right, it might just hit the right nerve, raise awareness and be quite a landmark. I'm really looking forward to hearing it (assuming the song is real, etc etc). :tea: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born Brave 2,072 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Still no tweet from Gaga bout the Born This Way anniversary hoping she attaches some kind of tidbit of ARTPOP info to that when she does.

The Stranger 4 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I say late April for the lead single. A June or July album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterOfSpain 8,278 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 For what we have, I'll say Mid-April single and August album. 2 singles before the album release and the 3rd at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
