Lady Gaga - Chromatica

[JeremySpears]

LG6 era has officially started!

[Erotica]

I like the album title. Hopefully it's finally a return to form :/

[IVyoncé]

The album title kinda gives me ARTPOP levels of cringe, but we'll see
I still play Joanne and the ASIB soundtrack, and a good chunk of her other stuff from time to time, and even though the version around of Stupid Love is still underwhelming, I am curious to hear what more she has in store

[Mpol]

Transformers meets Art Pop.

[Marchum]

I’m into it.

[gabrielflorin01]

So excited for the new era!

[ThaInfo1]

I'm always here for new Stefani. She may not strike it right all the time in regards to sound, but mama is an ARTIST.

Interested to see how she's gonna do pop music since she's older now.

[shinydiscopaul]

Very here for this! We haven't had a proper pop Gaga album for 7 years.

[Thriller]

East Asia vibes from the artwork and looks this era.

Her age is irrelevant.

[spiritboy]

Some say it's the name of the character from the Stupid Love video instead of the album title. Others say there will be 12 tracks and each track will represent a color. Stupid Love represents pink.

[ThaInfo1]

Her age is irrelevant.

To some of you Stans...Lol. Ok.

[theMathematician]

I highly doubt that there are people thinking like: 'Well, the song is great, but the singer is exceeding my personal age limit, so I'm not going to buy it and pretend that it doesn't exist.', that sounds more like a excuse used in forms for users' favorite musicians' underperformance. It rather has to do with whether a certain song clicks with the general audience or not...

[likeidogoldlink]

Nevertheless, I really like the album name. I hope that this will not be an album similar to Artpop, but something like Joanne + BTW.


PI is her best leading song, don't judge me

[Loose]

After having digested Stupid Love I am genuinely worried about LG#6

[JeremySpears]

I‘m not going to write this era off yet. I think the music video is really embarrassing (I even like the one for "Perfect Illusion" more) but the song is alright and finally a fun dance song from her. That’s what I've wanted from her for seven years now.

I find it interesting that you call it an excuse, while there are various examples of ageism for years now, when it comes to playlisting and how certain acts are approached based on their age and whether they get the support (on streaming and radio) needed to get a hit. the most famous being Robbie Williams 8 years ago with 'Candy' who got removed from playlisting in the UK, and got #1 fully based on sales. but since streams have more weight than sales these days in most chartsystems, that also will limit certain older acts. There are some very recent examples as well, including The Pussycat Dolls.
I am not saying Gaga will have that problem with Stupid Love but the good @ThaInfo1 sis has a point. i mean how many (especially) artists from 35+ (I know Gaga is 33) can you name beside Sia, Maroon 5 and Billy Ray Cyrus that had a big streaming and chart hit single the past few years? Won't be a long list

[Washingtonian25]

Well, if this flops, ageism won’t have anything to do with it. People were waiting for a decent pop song and she came back with this? As far as I’m concerned, if there wasn’t for Dua Lipa, we wouldn’t have a decent pop song on charts right now.

You're being really naive if you don't think ageism in music exists. Just because you can't imagine people thinking that way doesn't mean it isn't so.

[Mpol]

I feel like people have given her a pass already. That was with PI. She followed up with the soldier album Joanne but I recall she had all this great press in the lead up and gave us trite as the lead.
A Star is Born has given her such a huge platform... and she gives us an opener that (whilst I love) has no please being a lead single, and not only one of her worst videos, but one of the worst videos from recent memory.

wtf.

[nympho]

[JeremySpears]

Wow this is going fast. So I guess there’s no time for a second, better single before the album release then.

The album has 16 tracks by the way.

Well, I guess there will definitely be at least one more track released before the album as a promo single... 27 March probably.

[Tansike]

Noooooooooo!! That‘s the day I DIDN‘T want her to release and she‘s choosing that exact day. I mean, my most favorite band is releasing on the same day (waited for five years for that one) so... I was hoping for another week so I can really get into it.

On the other hand, it‘s obviously great it‘s coming out so soon.

[Hejira]

I don't love the explanatory "This is not the cover but..." Own your sh*t and let your stans have meltdowns over a potential cover that's not even the cover.

[jason2379]

Excited for the album! Really glad it’s coming soon

[IVyoncé]

So I will get a Nightwish and a Gaga album on my birthday?

[Erotica]

Earlier than expected.

[Hejira]

I am lowkey excited and hope she brings something new but I'm expecting a non cohesive hodgepodge of everything she did before honestly.

[Tansike]

I hope she puts it out for pre-orders as soon as possible, now that she announced it.

So I will get a Nightwish and a Gaga album on my birthday?

Oh wow, that would be an awesome birthday to me
