Miracle Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Josh Gudwin uploaded an insta story yesterday at Shangri La (speakers / studio equipment + purple lights). It can only be mixing: no artist spends like 8 straight weeks at the studio if it's not to finish an album. Plus he mostly works as a mixing engineer 6
Popular Post Infernal Paradise Posted February 20 Popular Post Posted February 20 Okay, so trying to piece together everything that we have so far and figuring out what part of the process is she in rn. Based on the sole assumption (and this is like, the worst case scenario ) that the studio pics that she's posted lately were all real time (or a mix of real time and old), the video with Josh Gudwin's studio mic and Josh's latest IG story, LG7 is currently being mixed which should take a few weeks before it is sent for mastering, which will probably take another 1-2 weeks. Assuming it's fully done, mixed and mastered by March end or latest mid-April, LG7 could be put out in May. Based on her last two studio releases, once the album is completed she doesn't like to sit on it too much and tends to release it within 3-4 weeks post-mastering. She was still overseeing the Joanne mastering process Sep 19 and it was released Oct 21. And though there are no exact dates that I could find for C-word's mastering window, we have a rough idea based on what Morgan Kibby (who worked on the interludes) posted on IG (Jan 17) and this Rolling Stone interview “Though I came on at the very end of the process, we threw ourselves into a whirlwind, two-week period of writing and recording, and I delivered the mixes just days before the album was mastered. It was a trip!” Which means Gaga worked with Morgan between Jan 17 - Feb 1 and she delivered the mixes sometime later in Feb/Mar, just as the mastering was nearing completion. As we all know, pre-COVID release date for Chrome was April 10. TLDR; Lead possibly next month and LG7 is coming summer 2024 22
Vroom Vroom Posted February 20 Posted February 20 3 hours ago, SweetOreosOfHeaven said: I'm sick of this narrative; it's not any more cringe than what Beyoncé is doing right now and did with Renaissance. It's not just monsters being deluded as a lot of fortnite players believe Gaga is likely to be the next addition. A lot of other names are being thrown around, so who knows, but I really think it would be a great idea to launch LG7; we saw how much of a boost just the addition of Bad Romance gained her; imagine if she had five 5 songs (including the lead) and a skin. They are being very secretive about it, supposedly the new season is just a couple of days away and there's not even a hint at what artist is headlining. What happened to the new area in the festival jam stage with the two dogs and literal black heart? That seemed like the most obvious clue that Gaga is coming to fortnight
SweetOreosOfHeaven Posted February 20 Posted February 20 A lot of people are confident it'll be Olivia Rodrigo on Fortnite, since she's on tour and dropping a deluxe. I luv her but Gaga would be infinitely more interesting of an addition to any videogame. 1

SweetOreosOfHeaven Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Anyway let's hope at least they'll add Poker Face to the game, even if she doesn't headline. That would maybe get the song to re-chart on the spotify 200.

So if that's the case, she might have been working on the album for 8 months now and like you said is probably in the final stages Edited February 20 by Aston Martin 5

We're definitely closer to it than she'd want us to believe. A new album AND tentpole movie event. It's shaping up to be a great year so far. Will be interesting to see what comes first, the lead or the teaser Edited February 20 by Marry Illusion Glory 4 1
Enzo Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Why would she collab with Fortnite at this moment when she has nothing to promote tho?

Will be interesting to see what comes first, the lead or the trailer My gut says the lead's first since Todd confirmed that the trailer's not coming until April and I can't see her waiting that long to release the lead with all this teasing, but we shall see! Getting an album during the first half of the year, a blockbuster during the 2nd half of the year, and (hopefully) another tour (and presumably her next film role announcement) during 2025 would be really fun and would make up for the drought that was 2023 5

Gaga was either working on LG7 or the movie soundtrack then. Wish we knew which was the case. 2

So yeah summer 2023 seems like a likely starting timeframe. Maybe she worked on it more herself before that, but I feel like she didn’t start working with others on it until last summer. 2

Canonical Ensembl Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Just randomly searched Watt’s discography and found that he produced that atrocious Jungkook’s song On a bright side, at least we know he’s pretty versatile.
Enzo Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Watt is also responsible for Phoenix, aka Modern Pop Bible 1
