ARTPOP track's vocals

[drbumblenut 48]

I don't know, I think it's because harmony deepens a melody and she has the vocal talent to split them out so you hear both very clearly. 2:37 in Venus is an AMAZING example of that. The left ear makes me go, "WOW!" and the right ear makes me go, "aww."

 

Edit: To your point though, in ARTPOP it's the message that she could be anything, so she sounds robotic / alien in one ear and human in the other. Both are her at the same time.

It is very autotuned also i guess

Not necessarily. You could take a completely un-doctored vocal track and, using a specific distortion effect, make it sound like what's on the record.

THISSSS, nobody understands me

 

It's just another form of vocal layering. Nothing much to discuss? If you pointed it out in the first place then... yep, that's it. Layers of vocals formulated in a way which sound pleasing. The end

Well yes

[Better Day 5,766]

I've also noticed she's creatively used autotune in a lot of songs on ARTPOP

[Cameron Dallas 11]

It's called harmony, most pop songs use it

Aura, MANiCURE, ARTPOP, Swine, Mary Jane Holland, Dope

They doesn't have autotune at all,

[Interludicrous 15]

For ARTPOP, I think she used it to put emphasis on the contrast between ART and POP. Listen to that part of the song with earphones: in one ear, you hear the soothing, hypnotising sound of "ART", while in the other, you hear the robotic, slightly noisy sound of "POP". But when you have both earbuds in they are combined. ARTPOP.

Yeah they do during the Verses, ARTPOP has autotune throughout the whole song same with Dope and swine

[TheResidentZionist 128]

i cant tell if this is sarcasm but yes they do have auto tune. your telling me gaga can really hit and hold the notes of " i may not walk on your street or shoot a gun on your soil" 

 

Gaga's music has always been a sort of studio recording experience. she tweaks and works on the original album versions so they reflect her vision for the song. the live experience never really has the same power as the studio songs. So happy i could die is a great example. the auto tune distorts her voice but allows her to make unnatural note progressions to add the ethereal effect. this cannot be replicated live.

 

and to answer the original question. recently in music Harmony and percussion is super in as exemplified by Royals by Lorde. id bet my ass that the next 3 years of music will be based on Harmony and Percussion. you can hear it in that song Pompeii, Royals,XO We cant Stop ect. ARTPOP was created and planned sort of before electronic music died in late 2012 so the album honestly if released in april 2013 would have done much better. i feel like the harmonies scattered throughout the album were done as an afterthought to follow the musical trend.

Well so i admit that maybe aura and swine have autotune but songs like dope don't have at all honestly
