However this could not be further from the truth and her label/team know it. Gaga's streaming presence has put her in a good spot for a release. Instinctually i would want to bring up how low and irrelevant her career was in 2014 (GUY era) and 2015 (pre Joanne in general). But bringing those times up as a way to counter where she is in 2024 makes it sound like it's a 3 way race between 2014, 2015, and 2024 but 2024 should not even be in the conversation. At all. Absolutely delusional. Exactly. There's a difference between being absent from the current conversation and absent from the zeitgeist. In 2024 even when things are quiet, Gaga's presence remains in the culture in a way that's not really comparable to post Artpop or pre Joanne. 1
Aden Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I don't mind her Vegas jazz shows because they're legitimately good but like many have said, it would be far more interesting if she released her own jazz material. The covers have indeed gotten old. In about 2-3 months, we'll have gone 2 years since she last released original material as a leading artist. And all she's released since is a feature on a rock song that, though a good song, she only appears in for like 40% of the time. What is going on with her? 4

I want to think so too, her discography is much more relevant nowadays, but the way the GP didn't even bat an eye for her presence in the SuperBowl worries me. Lana seems a more relevant public figure than Gaga these days. I'm sure J:FAD could raise her profile if it goes the right way. But with everyone announcing and Gaga not seizing her opportunities I'm getting a bit worried. Sometimes it feels like I'm rooting for someone who doesn't want to even participate in the game.

Its not even everyone releasing their 2nd album in the time span that she released her last album, I guess thats partly where my frustration comes from but I was feeling positive about her working on new music etc but then she went and did the same old snoozefest jazz show in Vegas. Shes been doing this tired act more than her pop career at this point and whats worse is theres absolutely no revinention, shes not switching it up or adding anything new. Its the same show, same fashion, same tired covers that truly nobody gaf about. Nobody is gonna look to her in 50 years and think what an incredible jazz musician she was, none of her jazz covers have made any dent on the music industry and shes never even released original jazz music at least then there would be something to come from this but at this point I feel its just easy for her to get up there do the same old song and dance, cash a cheque and call it a day and thats what makes me lose hope for her future endeavors because its the same team of people surrounding her, doing this same old tired act rather then breaking the mold, evolving and being the all round risk taker she once was shes now slugging behind the music industry. Can she even be called a pop star anymore when shes basically just a full time jazz cover artist? Sorry for the rant but idk how we got so down bad. Sidenote I'm happy if shes happy ofc this isn't a target on her personally, at the end of the day she should do what makes her happy I'm just over the art shes creating or the lack thereof maybe she doesn't want to be the pop star she once was and I just have to accept that, but as a long time fan seeing one of the most inovative artists leave their music career in the dust is ofc gonna leave me feeling a little disappointed. You lowkey ate this up tbh We need OG jazz music from her yup 2 1
Sheep Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) 2 hours ago, Miracle said: If she finished It tonight (who said that? Lol), that's before she finished Chromatica. Vinyls are taking one or two months now. Also, she doesn't need to have every vinyl ready for release date Lead time is 2 months min rn and half of all the artists who sell numbers on vinyl have albums coming. She's going to want every physical out week 1 to push for a #1. The point was if she finished the album yesterday, the soonest we could have it was April. Edited February 12 by Sheep
JapaneseMommy Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Idk if she got her roots bleached recently or the IG pics aren’t fresh out the camera roll

But who said she finished It yesterday---she was in Vegas yesterday. Also, the last Chromatica tweaks happened in MARCH! and It was meant to be released April 10

JapaneseMommy Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Are we actually talking based on anthony’s bull$h? 1
Miracle Posted February 12 Posted February 12 The 16 probably doesnt have to do anything with a release date. It's the number of (according to Wikipedia) the best american football player of all time
killer_rose Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I think Gaga/Interscope have completely lost the plot when it comes to releasing new music. Everyone makes such events out of their releases, look at Beyonce and Taylor...You can all say that Gaga is not on Taylor's commercial level (which is true) but she has the presence of a pop star. Yet, all of that is completely WASTED. Gaga is no longer interested in being the center of attention or being a pop star. She is comfortable doing her jazz covers and that's it. Whatever she releases this year will be completely overshadowed by literally EVERYONE releasing in the same period. 6 3 1 2
TMRA Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Yeah im bored. Everyone is getting everything except for us and Rihanna stans 3
Aden Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Just now, TMRA said: Yeah im bored. Everyone is getting everything except for us and Rihanna stans I fear for the day Rihanna announces R9, not because of Rihanna herself but of how Gaga stans will react. It might be the final straw. 2
Sheep Posted February 12 Posted February 12 These meltdowns all read like posts from 2019 or 2015 she's really coming. 2 1

It's true and you SHOULD say it. This jazz side project has become her main project and we're tired. Spoiler But I know we will be switching like sissies the moment she announces new music. 2 1
