Hey everyone! I’m really excited to share my new album, Unbroken Circles! Here’s a link to the different platforms where you can listen to it: https://onerpm.link/272205177343 And also a link to the lyric videos (you can also see some of the older music videos I made on my channel!): And this is the booklet I designed, with the help of friends: I started working on Unbroken Circles more than 4 years ago. It was created out of a deep pain and feelings that I already talked about in previous albums. It all started with a situation that brought back years of unresolved feelings of loneliness and rejection, and I had to dive deep into all of that. This album is for the little girl I once was, who's only ever wanted to be loved for who she was, and who is still hidden somewhere inside of me. Life has turned me into a different person, but like an endless cycle, there are things that always come back and repeat themselves eventually. Unbroken Circles is about all of that, and so much more. It does feel weird to listen to these songs now that this is mostly behind me, but the situations that led to these feelings will always be a part of my life, and it's a continuous struggle to learn how to balance these things and feel at peace with that. During that period, I listened to Rina Sawayama and Babymetal on repeat and found the mix of sweetness and harshness comforting and liberating. I had also been a huge fan of Who you selling for by The Pretty Reckless for years. I was craving to hear similar music and wanted to mix all these sounds together to tell my story. This album has strong southern rock influences with hints of metal and baroque pop. Here’s a bit of an explanation of every song, because I think it helps understanding the lyrics and how these songs create the storyline of the album: Ghosttown Ugly Duckling Dressed in red Death Palace A few seconds of heaven 7 years I Hurt people hurt people 4 lives 7 years II Aurora Mrs Bubbles Taglist, people who expressed interest in my music in the past, old friends, new friends, people from the rock music thread, people who like The Pretty Reckless, people I've seen around:

• The first experience was before the show in Paris. • There were 5 people in total, including 2 people who had won a competition and 1 person whose M&G in Belgium had been cancelled. • They were not allowed to use phones during experience • The whole experience lasted less than 40 minutes • The photos with Nicole were taken in a hallway with no proper backdrop, the photos (taken by her team member) were badly framed • It was supposed to start at 4pm but started over an hour late. • Their emails directed them to a door that doesn’t exist. Nobody at the arena knew anything about the experience or where they were supposed to go. • Nicole performed a song from Sunset Boulevard - they couldn't see her because the lights were off + she also performed part of Hush Hush • There was no real Q&A — Nicole simply chatted with them, there was no real opportunity to ask the questions, they got a short one-on-one moment with her, she signed their items • There was no actual ritual either _________________ • Meet & greet with Nicole Scherzinger • Individual photo opportunity with Nicole Scherzinger • Access to private pre-show soundcheck performance and Q&A with Nicole Scherzinger (NO other members of PCD will be present) • Invitation to participate in Nicole's pre-show ritual nicolescherzingervip.com

So she's mad at Macklemore for saying criticism of the Israeli government shouldn't be targeted at someone just for being jewish. And then goes onto say criticism of the Israeli government shouldn't lead to attacks on people just for being jewish. And totally fails to criticise the Israeli government at any point. Get the **** out. I'm over her. Won't be streaming. Won't be cracking the credit card out for the next tour. Not that she'll have a career to tour.

For $950, you should be able to dance on stage next to Nicole during the show. No one would know if you were one of the Dolls or not anyway

Theres Poker Face, Americano, Venus, XXX Dreams, and So Happy I Could Die. I just think it would be cool 2 hear more songs about women from her. Also, with Poker Face I do love the song but I've always found it confusing that there's a male singing "shes got me like nobody", wouldn't it make sense if Gaga was singing that part and not some male? Idk I think it would be very comforting if she made more WLW songs, I love the ones she has out RN but new ones and even more would be great.. (I also hope this makes sense)

Here's what Gemini said: Lady Gaga was actually only 15 and at school on the Upper East Side when 9/11 happened. She’s talked before about how her teachers initially put the news on, but she and her classmates ended up going to the roof and actually watched the second tower collapse. She said she still vividly remembers the smell and the ash covering the city. It was also a massive scare for her family because her mom worked right across the street from the World Trade Center. Her dad walked her home from school, and they had to wait ten agonizing hours with zero contact before they finally found out her mom was safe. She’s said the whole experience completely changed her and forever bonded New Yorkers together like a giant family.

I think I'm dyslexic i read this as Hannah Montana. Also. Happy celebrations

To all my Jewish friends here, Shana Tova! 🍎🍯 For anyone unfamiliar with the holiday, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. A time for reflection, renewal, family, and hopes for a sweet year ahead (amen). Wishing everybody’s families a happy, healthy, peaceful, and sweet New Year. May this new year bring you lots of joy, good health, success, and many reasons to celebrate. Happy Rosh Hashanah! ❤️

"It said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them." so why repost it? why not make your own post with your own words?

"if you're a strong gay man, u don't need permission" "I'm not a wondering straight, I'm a gay man of choice" "do u wanna see the man who lives behind the profile behind the grindr behind the kandura" "riding on the shadow of another man, cheating when hot gays pass me by"

Pink has written a 1,088-word essay to break her silence on the backlash she received for reposting criticism of Macklemore‘s “Free Palestine” message. Last weekend, Macklemore joined Ed Sheeran‘s concert tour and he used his opening set at two New Jersey shows to voice support for Palestine. This angered many Jewish fans, who are calling for him to be removed from the tour. Pink took to her Instagram Stories to reshare a post from the @Stop_AntiSemitism page. The page wrote the below message. x PINK: I’ve been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isn’t like me. So here they are. Last Sunday I reposted somebody else’s post about Macklemore’s set at Ed Sheeran’s show. It said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them. Then the comments came, and I did what I do when I’m hurt, which is post snarky memes and act like I’m fine. That’s on me. A repost isn’t a statement, and a meme isn’t a spine. Social media makes all of us cheap and fast, and we all know it. But I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it. I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it. And this week a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word “Jew” were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in... myself. Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child. I’ve spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didn’t choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence. I didn’t do it from behind a screen; I went to those children and held them. I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower. (Continued in comments) Here’s what I was reacting to. I was in the room at the Grammys in 2014 when Macklemore rapped “Same Love” and thirty-three couples, gay and straight, got married to it, and I cheered, no questions asked. Four months later Macklemore put on a hooked nose, a black beard and a bowl cut, performed in it, and called it a “random costume.” Every Jew I know knew exactly what it was. The same love, it turned out, had a guest list, and we weren’t on it. But he apologized, and I let it go, because that’s what we do. We let it go. Then last weekend he stood in front of a stadium full of music-loving families, with violent images from a war on the screens, dedicated a song to the movement of his choice, and then took the mic to tell all of the Jews in the stadium that it wasn’t about them. You don’t get to decide that for us. That’s what prompted my repost. Not “Free Palestine,” and not anyone’s right to say it. I have never asked for another artist to be silenced and I’m not asking now. I don’t need anyone fired, and I don’t need a refund. What I need is to be able to say, as a Jewish mom, “that scared me, and it scared people I love,” without being told our fear is just propaganda, and without being told I’m somehow cool with genocide because I noticed? And please don’t talk to me like I’ve never stood up for my beliefs when it was unpopular. In the middle of the Gulf War in 2006 I put out a song called “Dear Mr. President” and sang it every night on tour while my country was in a war I didn’t support, and I took the hate for it, and I sang it anyway because my sharp criticism was of a government, not this flawed country I love and who my dad fought for. I stood with gay kids before it was fashionable and with trans kids now, when it isn’t, and with their families, and I handed out the books that got banned, and you know I got called every name there is, and I’d do all of it again tomorrow. I have stood up for other people’s people my whole career, and I know exactly what it costs. And now I’m standing up for my own people, and I thought I knew going in how lonely that would be. And it’s lonelier than that. But I’m doing it anyway. Something has changed in this country, and I can read it in my own comments. “From the river to the sea.” “Zionist,” spat like it’s a slur, by people who couldn’t tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn’t told them yet. I wasn’t asked. I was told. I don’t think most of them hate Jews. I think somebody handed them a story where the Jew who won’t apologize for existing must be the villain, and they’ve been putting words in my mouth ever since. But I’ve been portrayed as the villain before. I can take it. I just won’t take it quietly, and I’m not going to teach my kids to. So, to the ones who are furious with me: you don’t have to agree with me. You never did. That’s been our unspoken agreement for twenty-five years, and it still stands, and so do I. You don’t have to agree with one thing Israel’s government does to not want the Jewish family two rows down from you to be scared or targeted at a concert. That’s the only thing I’m asking anybody for. To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I’m right here. I’ve never been hard to find. And I’ll keep speaking out, in my own words. It’s Friday. For working people who have more to worry about than pop stars and pile-ons, it’s the end of a hard week. It’s also the 25th anniversary of September 11th, and my prayers are with the innocent souls we lost that morning. And at sundown, for Jews, it’s Rosh Hashanah, our New Year. Now I’m going to go make dinner for my kids, light the candles, dip some apples in honey, pour a glass of wine and be full of gratitude. That’s my tradition. It also happens to be a Jewish one. Shana tova.

She was still in outer space. She was sent to Earth 7 years later "Stardate: 2008/9. Lady Gaga has been sent to Earth to infiltrate human culture one sequin at a time. Activate camera probe. Initiate Transmission Gagavision."

If she were a man half of y'all would HATE her lol

I remember her saying she went up to the roof of her school with her classmates or something or did I imagine that

Candy Crush® is bringing together globally celebrated songwriter, artist and performer Shania Twain and Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Zedd to give nearly 30 years of nostalgia a whole new sound. Today, the casual mobile game kicks off its annual Music Season in-game event with a candy-coated, dancefloor-ready reimagining of the song, "You're Still the One."

Don't forget about the iconic fashion hit Shape of a Woman!

Nicole begging fans for €950 so she doesn’t have to spend time with the other two members

Happy Rosh Hashana This year I'm all aloneeeee, my husband is at his mom, she's sick, and I'm taking care of our sick-ish dog (he's getting better), so maybe I'll just do it remotely with my dad, his husband and my sibling's families.

Judas back to +1M update

X dreams is apparently about one of her gay coworker who worked on this song. But when you listen to it, it could totally be abt a woman. For the "she's got me like nobody" part, it’s because she fooled the guy. She think about women while doing her things with him.

Thread title sounds like a Lana Del Rey album... Can't wait for "Stove" rename

Do you think she's gonna write a diss-track about Ella Langley when she loses?

Orville Peck is amazing. So is Stromae. Bruno is good too. So is Weeknd. And Bad Bunny. This post is sexist lol

He put on a dark bowl-cut wig, a fake beard, and a big nose in order to hide amongst concert goers at a secret show. When he was accused of doing an anti-Semitic caricature, he immediately apologized, acknowledged that it definitely could have been taken that way and understood if it hurt people, claimed that was never his intention, and then went on to platform the Anti-Defamation League ironically enough. The ADL defended him after the apology, claiming it was an unfortunate coincidence. 100% Pink had not thought about that incident until after she reposted the original post.

He apologized for it several times so it's pretty cheap of Alicia to bring it up like this but of course that was the only attack point she had left.

Oooh! Plenty of! this one is more of a wishful thinking exercise, really. Not about the text itself only but open to the whole imagery – live performances, music videos, future (or, our present) renditions, and so on

This piece of AI garbage was directed by Jonas Akerlund. Hope the check was worth it.

The ai in this MV is so tacky omg

All she’s really done is equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism in extra words. An act which is ironically in and of itself anti-semitic.

Oh you clockedT it, when Gar starts her training at Starbucks to become the ultimate non-binary barista final boss THEN what?!?!?!?

So to answer this thread title precisely: Gaga was on this rooftop->>> (Convent of the Sacred Heart on the Upper East Side)

No

Happy Hannah Montana!

it started 2 days ago

It looks soooo good Queen Jessica Lange

“I’ve become a notorious being, find my clone she’s asleep on the ceiling now, can’t get me down, you love to hate me I'm the perfect celebrity” is a good lyric to me and one of my faves from the album. Her own mythology has become more notorious than her talents because she’s still enigmatic. It gives me visions of her “gaga self” hanging like a bat upside down, and also feels like she’s separate from her ego (the self on the ceiling) and people try to bring her persona down but can’t both physically and metaphorically. And because she has a two sided persona she makes the perfect celebrity because people have two types of person to criticise and debate over. The entirety of Perfect Celebrity is masterfully written imo. “Don’t waste time on a feeling, use your passion, no return” from Abra is a great mantra for an artistic person tbh because the feeling of doubt or guilt sometimes can drive your passion and art in the wrong direction. She’s basically saying trust your art and your gut. And stick to it, never look back. Which is what Gaga does musically she never truly looks back with her music really. (Which is also why fans need to learn she’s never gonna do ARTPOP Act 2–that very lyric tells you that.) “River in my eyes, I’ve got a poem in my throat, I hear the music and it takes me by surprise, pictures in my mind they come on faster than they go, another round hoping this one will make me blind” is about how she makes music. Her feeling emotions, the lyrics and ideas coming to her fast and how she used to drink to dull her emotions a lot. Which then is followed up by the fact she states “I know this time, I won’t escape these thoughts in my head” because she’s accepting she needs to feel properly to make music and all she ever needed was Michael not alcohol or drugs. He’s her literal creative drug of choice (LoveDrug) instead of her self deprecating and destructive patterns of using drugs and alcohol in her creative process. It’s an anti-tortured artist song.

In my fantasy it is definitely I feel so free or Love sensations ft Kylie, and I don't give a scheisse what others say!

The power of lesbianism compels you

I've always seen it as a reference to early Greek mythology. In many stories, if you were a God/Goddess with a human-like body (so not the ones preceding the Mount Olympus family tree err...tangled mess with Zeus as the head so to speak; like Gaia literally being the Earth and Chronos being time itself), the closest resemblance to (actually agonizing) pain such a God or Goddess could feel was becoming transparent and ultimately invisible due to not being prayed to or forgotten about by mortals in their respective temples. In this state, they also could not transform or speak with, let alone touch other Gods. Hence, in a song about a whole lot of pain: Like a God without a prayer. It could be more metaphorical, this was just the first thing I thought of when hearing the lyric. I love that line, by the way. Disease is phenomenal. EDIT: Ooh, some juicy material from @Cherry Blues and @****oDanceFight!

Teotecpatl Santin Martinez says he recorded the official World Cup song with Shawn Mendes, but they ultimately chose to withdraw following remarks by FIFA’s president about building a stadium in Gaza and supporting Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. teotecpatl_jaguar: I want to share with you that in January I had one of the most incredible experiences in my life as a musician, I had the opportunity to share, thanks to the invitation from @xiuhtezcatl in a recording that would be the official song of the World Cup. In which I had the opportunity to meet the incredible artist and singer @rutadelajolote and all his team, and bring them to the chinampas of Xochimilco, with our friends of the @shawnmendes and share our Xochimilca and Mexican culture. When I heard about the project I didn't think it was true, and I never imagined I'd end up recording in a studio with @shawnmendes and their producer Mike, simple peronas but with a brutal talent. And having had the opportunity to record in the studio with our teachers @celsoduarte.py precursors of pre- Hispanic music and with our brother @euclides barreravalencia one of the best artists in Mexico and the world, and with my brother @huemac.olivares.primitivamusic, and our project @musicatribu with my carnales @miktlan.beads and @yaotecame_ and of course @xiuhtezcatl and its teams, and that is the pride of all of us and great representative of our Xochimilca and Mexican culture in the world. It was truly amazing to have participated in this beautiful song and to have recorded with @shawn mendes it was insane. In the end the song was chosen but after the team and the whole project decided not to participate, and that the song was not used, as it did not agree with the values that is sought to promote, it was a difficult decision but the most correct and despite how complicated we are we are happy with the decision, because ethical values are more valuable than anything else. But we stayed with an amazing experience, lo had it saved but wanted to share now. And the morale is something that reminds me of a defracism of ancient Mexico: In Pohtli in Ayahuitl- Dust and Fog- and it means Fame, because fame as well as dust and fog are extinct; and it is that even if the song had been heard all over the world, is more valuable the only thing we take on earth, which is joy.

Oh, she will NOT be missing a chance to do a tribute to Dolly Parton (badly, and off-key)

Unpopular opinion: Blade of Grass is lyrically strong, and it's a good song edit: y'all would be salivating over this song if it was on JFAD

Anyways Men make better rock stars than pop stars because the rock genres and communities generally allow them to express themselves through flamboyant performance. With some genres its practically a requirement. Where as men in pop get forced into a cookie cutter approach to performing masculinity that stunts their ability to experiment generally, and those men who do deviate from the expectation have their career growth held back. Rock allows men to perform (generally) where as pop very much tries to force men to be performative sex symbols for middle class white women.

Lemme agree with you! Women bring the spectacle for sure but there are a lot of male artists and bands that I've gone to see that just jam. Great shows and great artists in their own rights.

omg I almost put in the thread about turn offs that I don’t like gay guys who brag about only listening to female musicians
