Bimbo Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 From classic Broadway musicals to Joni Mitchell’s vivid songwriting to the genius of Missy Elliott, here are the sounds that shaped the pop eccentric’s life, five years at a time. Lady Gaga: The Fame "I really liked the energy of this album. It was young. It was dance. It was different. I was making a dance record at the time [2008’s Bring Ya to the Brink], and I just thought what she was doing was so great for the scene. She crossed it right back into the mainstream, which hadn’t been done since the ’90s. I love old movies and often pull inspiration from them, and I felt that maybe Gaga did, too. But of course, she was modern, and kind of left. She writes great pop songs. You listened to the songs on The Fame and you knew them in one listen. I also liked her a lot; we did a Mac Viva Glam campaign together. I knew her when she came out, performed with her in the early days. I believe that dance music is more of a visual, and that’s always been important to me, and I saw Gaga do it right." Pitchfork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjang Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) She lied! 2008 was already beginning to have a plethora of Dance - Pop smashes prior to when JD/PF started picking up, it's common knowledge. Even Rap / Hip - Hop songs were incoprating Electro-Pop / Dance elements / Club - orientated sound (Like Low or Lollipop) She did however popularize Redone's production but that died down like 10 months later and became a fad because he's dreadfully unoriginal Edited June 8, 2022 by Jjang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodflowers. Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Dance pop was always popular in Europe but Gaga brought such sound (alongside with The Black Eyed Peas) at the right time and shifted music into EDM direction that was heavily popular in early 2010s (and indirectly killed off R&B and pop rock popularity from the mainstream charts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltoe Chariot Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Cyndi is absolutely correct, Gaga brought back event pop. She had ALL of the girlies scrambling and sticking blocks of cheese on their heads to stay in the spotlight and it was hilarious to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gov Hooka Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think it’s always reductionist to attribute trends like these to individuals. There was a collective industry-wide movement back to dance pop/electro pop happening at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the zone and Blackout sweetie. 2002-2006 urban pop was big (Justin, xtina, fergie, nelly, beyonce, rihanna) 2003 Andre 3000 and Britney Spears went against the grain and put out pop sounds but Toxic was dance electropop vs Hey Ya. I remember Billboard making an article noting those two songs going against the grain and winning. She did hop on it and her era will be more remembered than most from that era. so that's true.
