Artpop (stylized ARTPOP) is the upcoming third studio albumby American recording artist Lady Gaga, and will be released sometime in 2013 by Interscope Records. It is the follow-up to her 2011 multi-platinum album Born This Way.
Background and Recording
In September 2011, in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Lady Gaga confirmed she was working on her third studio album, the follow up to Born This Way. Shortly after the announcement, producer DJ White Shadow, who worked with Gaga on Born This Way revealed his involvement in the production and recording of the album. Gaga's frequent producer Fernando Garibay also confirmed that he would be working with Gaga on her next album, hoping to "outdo their previous work". Gaga recorded the album during her third world tour, the Born This Way Ball. In the early stages of the album while she was on a busy schedule preparing for the tour, Garibray and DJ white Shadow sent her material that could be used on the album, Garibray stated, "The kind of stuff that I send her, some of it is so crazy that I don't know what you'd call it. When I make stuff ... I know what's for her and what's not for her. Some of it's structured as songs and some of it is structured as madness, and she goes through it like a gold miner."
When the tour began, Several of Gaga's producers traveled with her worldwide to record the album. DJ White Shadow said that since Gaga likes to write while on tour, he had to travel with her worldwide: "I want to try and be as close to it as possible, that way I don't have to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning and fly to L.A. or wherever or Japan or wherever she's starting to do stuff." In an Interview with MTV Garibray echoed this statement and proclaimed that "Wherever she is we'll make it." In May 2012, Gaga's manager, Vincent Herbert hinted that the album had been completed, revealing that he heard the album's material and commented that they are "Just insane, great records." The same month, Gaga revealed through her Twitter page that she played the album for her record company and that the album's title will be released in September 2012. This proved to be false when Gaga announced the album title one month in advance in August 2012.
Writing and lyrical themes
The concepts and themes of the album began developing in December 2011. While performing a concert in Australia, Gaga previewed a song entitled "Princess Die", a song with suicidal themes that was written about Princess Diana and her death.. The song has a similar composition to the rest of the album. Gaga also stated that this album will demonstrates a "lack of maturity and sensibily." She also stated that the album is contrast to the themes that were displayed in her previous record Born This Way.
