Not y'all wanting Happy Mistake to be Radar'd.

Does anyone know anything about Gaga's record deal with Interscope, like how many albums she has left in her contract? I was thinking, did she make Harlequin as an extra album so after LG7 she could fulfill her contract? Idk if she would switch labels at this point, but just a thought I had.

She released it under "Lil Monsters LLC" with rights to interscope. Is that the first time she's done that? It striked me as strange and maybe an indication of her hearing towards making her own label?

The possible cover is cute! Nothing groundbreaking, but its a nice, understated cover that'll go nicely with the rest of her discography. The font for this era is amazingggg though  hopefully it gets some nice use this era

Saw people on Twitter theorizing that Happy Mistake was originally meant for LG7 but was replaced by DWAS

 

..meaning maybe because of DWAS/its success they swapped spots?

 

I kinda buy that HM was meant for LG7. So many references to mirrors, it was likely made around the same time as LG7 tracks, and the darkness of the track fits the vibe of disease and mayhem's aesthetics nicely, way more than DWAS does. Thoughts ?

 

I don't think the album cover was shot when HM was recorded.

Bobbé strategically timing the website countdowns kickoff with the Razzie noms bombshell drop to create a net positive press smokescreen.

The meltdowns are unnecessary. I understand not liking the album cover but with them it always ends up with discussions about how she's artistically bankrupt....like can we wait until we HEAR the album first? 

I can't with that thread. The conversations are so circular.

According to her contract leak back in 2020, she had 2 albums left after Chromatica. C2C and ASIB didn't count in her original contract according to those documents, so the Top Gun and J*ker OSTs as well as LFS likely don't either. And she released Harlequin independently so that doesn't count either. Her original contract was for five albums (ending with Joanne) and she renewed for 3 more. So after Mayhem she'll owe them one more studio album. But I bet she'll re-sign with them when it happens anyways

I just realized the album being monochrome themed (in terms of aesthetics) has been one of the first real rumors (from like late 2023/early 2024 iirc) we've heard about the album... kind of gagged that it ended up being true at least by the looks of it!

I mean, half of her albums are B&W themed. You had like a 50/50 chance of being right if you predicted that. 

[Colmillo]

Apparently the album title and release date on her website are placeholders and not the official ones, I hope that means that the photo on her site is not the official album cover

 

[Jack!]

I think the release is the 14th but someone from her team has told TMZ it's not the case to throw us off. It's not a coincidence that it was sewn into the coding of her website.

[Gerard141]

Why is no one talking about this part of the TMZ article: 

 

"The new album will be Gaga's first of the year"

It's giving that video of Taylor looking at the real leaked 1989 tracklist and saying it was fake because one word was misspelled. In our case, it will be the 13th actually means the 14th nnnn

Did the website change for anyone else? I only see the Die with a Smile background now when before it was the countdown

Sounds like LGN 

 

Spoiler

But yes, I 100% agree. You don't reveal everything if the album isn't coming soon, either.

The meltdowns if the album release date is March or April and she says absolutely NOTHING to address the February confirmation from last year

'Cause we know there's another jazz album lurking around somewhere...

Doing that with harlequin to leave interscope earlier in time is such a genious and correct move in her career so we know as a fact that no, that's not the case

Well why would they get the link gagamayhem.com months ago if it isn't the name, it is the name

I love how monsters are clinging to the little flickering glimpse of hope that the cover might not be the actual final cover. Your Randical Optimism is so cute and innocent

I'm actually so glad they decided to put DWAS on the album. It wouldn't make sense to leave off your #1 hit right as you release an album. I also hated the idea of it being orphaned.
