Lady Gaga recently started another Q&A session on Twitter. Fans were required to ask questions about ARTPOP using the hashtag #ARTPOPquestion. Here’s some of the most important questions.
What’s your favourite tracks on the album?
I love Sexxx Dreams, Venus, Dope, G.U.Y. and ARTPOP. Actually I’m obsessed with the whole album.
“Swine” is the song you said that it was very difficult to write?
Yes, very personal song but it became very freeing. Put a lot of rage into this album. Its been hard to part from it.
Is “VENUS” the Telephone continuation?
No, it’s the beginning of ARTPOP. Trilogy endings to come!
Do you feel completely satisfied with what you’ve done on ARTPOP?
Satisfied is maybe not the way to describe it. Very proud, very strong connection to this album.
Why did you change Aura vocals for low tones? We miss you screaming at the verses.
These vocals were done at a special time during conception of the record. They were important to me and Zedd. This is our vision.
Have you started already planning for the album after ARTPOP?
Yes, lots of songs for ACT TWO!
What are the ballads on the album and why?
Dope. Gypsy is a ballad/electronic song. But there is a lot of hard funky midtempo + a space rock electronica explosion of beats.
What does ARTPOP mean to you?
It is an exchange between to artists, one from the sphere of pop, the other of art, that results in a true meeting of the minds, one where art is put in the front.
Are we getting the “Venus” music video the same day as the single?
Negative.
Are we getting RATCHET at some point in this era?
Ae are going to listen to some really good hip hop artists on some fearless hip hop electronic records.
So will there be two volumes of ARTPOP then, of two completely different albums?
All of them. I sang my ass off on ARTPOP but some songs sound like robots, and others like a chorus. Depends on the song. ARTPOP knows no bounds.
When are we getting the Venus single cover?
We are still designing it.
What is in the gazing ball on the album cover?
The gazing ball is the point of creation. I view this as the sculpture of me, and my image as the representation of Jeff although the entire piece is the sculpture, when I look at it I feel an explosion of Jeff’s past+future. The gazing ball is significant also because my sanskrit’s a small dot. Im destined to float as a universe, fitting with all types of people.
Why didn’t you include “Brooklyn Nights” on the album? I thought the song was important to you!
It is. It will come out. don’t worry. I wanted to spend more time on it. It will come out on the app sometimes during the album cycle.
Any of the ARTPOP songs were made it by RedOne?
Gypsy! It was written with RedOne.
Gaga finally revealed that Ruth Hogben will direct the music video for VENUS.
