Are we pretending she didn't run back to him for the original #LG5?

Questions: What is Gaga's current mindset regarding LG7? How far along is she in the process of creating LG7?

 

Cards: Eight of Cups, Page of Wands

 

Interpretation: Gaga has likely moved away from the initial conception behind LG7, and has found it unfulfilling. There is currently some trepidation around the album overall, as well as the direction Gaga should move into as a popstar. I pulled the page of wands in response to asking how far along is she in the process of recording/creating the album and pulled the Page of Wands. Gaga is creatively energized right now regardless, and has made concrete steps in forming the album, but the overall direction is currently not clear.

 

Question: What can you tell me regarding the overall themes for LG7?

 

Cards: Four of Swords, Eight of Pentacles (Reversed), Justice

 

Interpretation: The Four of Swords here to me means some form of burnout regarding Gaga's career. Granted she just finished a tour, and is a workaholic so this isn't so surprising or negative for her in my opinion. She might want to work on LG7 at home, or with familiar collaborators. Eight of Pentacles, in my opinion, is hinting at some kind of themes regarding perfectionism, and Gaga attempting to elevate her work to no avail. LG7 could be about self-care, or Gaga's mental health. The Justice card is a Major Arcana card, and hints at LG7 being about truth, and I think it implies some political themes being imbued within the album, albeit probably not outright. I could see this being Gaga's most political album since Born This Way.

 

Question: Era Overall? Commercial success? Critical success?

 

Cards: Five of Wands, Strength, Two of Wands

 

Interpretation: Five of Wands came up when I asked about the era overall. This is not good, guys. This means there is probably a lot of passive aggression and egos involved in the era, and Gaga's plans for the era may be stifled or misinterpreted by Interscope. Tensions abound within Gaga's team during the album rollout. I received Strength (Fortitude in my deck) for the commercial success for the era. To me, this is a sign that Gaga's attempts will yield fruit, and radio may be more receptive to the era, and Interscope may put more muscle behind her. Gaga is confident in the music itself, and so is the label. Hard work pays off here. This may be Gaga's most acclaimed album, as the Two of Wands indicates that critics who previously may have been closed to Gaga's output are now respecting her at a different level, and appreciating the growth of the album, and Gaga's own personal growth.

Just asked about genre. I asked YES/NO, will LG7 be a departure from Gaga's past work, and got The Empress, implying a YES answer. Then I asked about whether or not it will be a rock-inspired album, drawing The Emperor, and finally asked about whether or not it will be similar to Born This Way, and got the King of Wands, also an affirmative card, but softer. I think LG7 will be stadium rock inspired back on all of this.

Interesting read, well done

I agree, I'm too much curious to see how new music from them would sound nowadays, I think they can still make great things together, he's a talented producer.

It was scrapped, so.. His last production credits were on BTW (not counting AG demo)

Edited September 19, 20224 yr by Freaky Prince

Kinda upset we never got a SFA performance where there would be strobe lights everywhere for the outro

 

17 weeks clean off (I am so sick of this word) meth!

:D

 I feel good even though I pray to God and Godga that I'll move by this weekend 
Phew.

I love y'all (Unless you hate on 1,000 Doves, then seek help)

get used to it 

if enigma is being brought back, we need it to basically be the chromatica ball but in vegas.  

Me going to the Gaga's Vegas residency expecting Chromatica:

 

 

but getting Enigma: The Re-Up:

 

 

 

It wouldn't make sense for her returning to make the messy Enigma, if another Pop residency is coming is gonna be completely revamped.

Tbh I feel like a Vegas show should be more relaxed and intimate and CBT isn’t really that. Something like a small scale MB2.0 with well designed but less busy set pieces (like the Living Dress) would fit better in a Vegas residency imo.

doesn't make sense with the little number of shows she has left to perform

She will continue with Jazz shows only

not sure why you were talking about a new pop residency then...

Because the LV Journal, which is a credible LV news and tea source, said there's a new pop residency in the works. 

 

Quote

“Chromatica” is likely to live on in Gaga’s next Park MGM adventure. We’ve wondered if her pop show, “Enigma,” will be revived at Dolby Live. We understand a pop production is planned, in 2023, but not “Enigma.”

Quote

Look for a new pop-style production, with numbers added from “Chromatica,” to perform next year. The oft-delayed tour closes Sept. 17 in Miami. But we can’t yet say if there will be a return to Vegas of such “Enigma” as Gaga’s giant transformer robot, sequined body suit and matching keytar.

J&P is also supposedly returning

Quote

In this planning, Gaga’s pet project will also play next year. “Jazz + Piano,” the show Gaga pushed to bring to the stage to be interwoven with”Enigma,” is also returning in 2023

 

If she's playing both then that means either an extension or a brand new, renegotiated contract must be on the table

Yeah, think the same, not sure why you were talking about a new pop residency then... that will only happen if she strikes a new deal and if she does do a new pop show in Vegas, I don't see another pop album with an accompanying tour for another four to five years. Maybe an album without a tour

My point was more about that I don't see her reprising a messy show like Enigma whereas she's gonna reprise (or make a new deal) for pop shows in Vegas after the perfection of Chromatica and I think she's aware of that, if she has just a few remianed shows with no new dates, then it's gonna be only Jazz clearly.

In this scenario, it would make sense for her to drop an album in order to launch the new Pop Vegas shows

I don't think she's fan of debuting new music in Vegas.

Thank you. I knew there was an article somewhere about this, but I couldn't remember.

She made $100m from the first batch of shows so of course she's going to extend; she'd be silly not to. Considering her historic grosses, the venue would be stupid not to do everything they could to get her to stay. Extending her Vegas residency is going to be the easiest way for her to reach a $1b career tour gross.

Nah, Vegas isn't a place for new album drops. It's a place for nostalgia and greatest hits shows.

Well, it makes sense for 'Enigma' since it was launched in the middle of ASIB era smashing so there was no point of having new music in that scenario.

I would generally agree, but we also have to consider that she hasn't performed any material from Chrome for the VeGagas crowd. Maybe a standalone droplet single if we're lucky but a new album is very unlikely. Also, what Bang Up said above. Vegagas theatre dates don't really warrant an album drop to sell out, unlike big tours.

I mean, a new single (even a standalone one) wouldn't hurt...

 

2 years until 'Joker' without nothing... it's gonna be hard guys... A new Residency could be an ideal scenario to have at least a new song.

J&P will probably return next summer post JFAD filming. I assume next year will be very quiet for her (which means plenty of time for album rankings!)

Yeah but a big tour is not gonna happen anytime soon in the next 3 years at least, Summer 2025 after the awards season is the best scenario for a new tour, 2 years passed already from 'Chromatica', if she really has plans to return to a new Residency, in her case would make sense to drop something in that situation.

The biggest issue is that she doesn't have new material ready very likely.

If she does another pop show I want the setlist to be like this assuming there's no new music coming soon

 

1. Alice (with an actual cool performance that it deserves)

2. Stupid Love

3. Venus

4. Just Dance

 

5. Chromatica II + 911

6. Government Hooker

7. G.U.Y.

8. Heavy Metal Lover

 

9. Alejandro

10. Paparazzi

11. Replay

 

12. Shallow

13. Sine From Above (piano)

14. Marry the Night (piano into studio)

 

15. Poker Face

16. Judas

17. Rain On Me

18. Applause

 

19. Free Woman

20. Born This Way

21. Babylon

 

22. Bad Romance
