base talk Interscope CEO describes Gaga's forthcoming music as "spectacular"

[Nefertiti0]

Interscope CEO John Janick's big project of the moment is Lady Gaga. The superstar singer has come to the studio to meet with Interscope executives. 

This meeting is part of a comeback mission.
And Janick, in his understated way, acts as both coach and cheerleader to Gaga. "She told me she was making a lot of music but just wanted to wait for the right time," Janick explains to the team. "I got to hear the music and it was spectacular."
 

Gaga arrives dressed in a long black coat and heeled boots and greets the room, giving hugs to Grainge (CEO of Universal Music) and a few others. On the screen are meticulous plans for rolling out all kinds of things that I've agreed not to write about. Some have since been announced: a song with Bruno Mars and a surprise album she made to accompany the new Joker film that she starred in.

  
Over the next few months the grand plan will have extremely mixed results.
Janick was right about "Die With A Smile". The dramatic ballad caught fire, topping the charts in 17 countries including the US.
But another key piece of the strategy fared badly. Janick had suggested that Gaga could receive another nomination for her role in Joker: Folie à Deux. When the movie landed two months later, it bombed badly with both audiences and reviewers. "Even Lady Gaga can't save this movie," wrote Slate's film critic. Despite positive reviews, the album's fate was sealed.

Sure it is. Can't wait for this album, tbh.

[Nicholai]

[Lover]

[Colmillo]

We can tell from Disease and the other snippets 

[NEUTRON]

Duh.

[fa77ot]

[Anthinos]

I'm so hyped for this album

[B-Luke]

Any spectacular collabs?

[bielneira]

"Disease" is decent, so I'm excited to what she has in store for us (she's usually not good with lead singles anyways)

[Soup in Teapot]

Sure joanne

[Infernal Paradise]

The snippets that she played all sounded fantastic. Come through Godga, you can be the cure to the disease that is today's stale pop scene

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Spectacularly shaky maybe

 

 

 

 

Jk, I like disease, I'm curious to hear more

[starsailor]

Yes, Ed Sheeran and Megan Thee Stallion

[Helix]

what are they supposed to say? That they think the long awaited comeback album of one of their biggest artists is just ok? 

Of course they gonna hype the album up

 

Am still excited tho but you should never read too much into those statements

[Princess Aurora]

Yes, I hope some of the tracks become viral on Tiktok before it gets banned

[getBusy]

Would a CEO lie? 

[Junlin]

Not her boss setting her up, he the one approved Disease so it might be a spectacular bomb. 
 

[shoganai]

Yes she's gonna bomb spectacularly like jfad and the rest

[Archetype]

Okay Mr. Interscope, as long as the music is great, we'll be seated.  Disease is amazing, so my excitement is really high. 

[4Real]

If Disease is any indicator then welp

[gatito]

if she didn't scrap whatever she had after disease bombed she's surrounded by idiots

[Shimenawa]

FAD was supposed to be a big success and the goodwill from the movie was supposed to turn disease into a hit but things got sour. I hope they have new plans for the era

[Triton]

It's not like he can say otherwise. But they should have the decency to tell her to go back to the drawing room.
