Revision as of 05:59, 30 November 2012 by Kobstersnow (talk | contribs) (→Background)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Artpop (stylised as ARTPOP) is the third studio album by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It is set to be released in spring 2013 by Interscope Records. Recording of the album began in mid-2011 after the release of her second album Born This Way. As producer, Lady Gaga enlisted previous collaborators RedOne, Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow with new collaborators Zedd and Madeon. Its music is set to incorporate pop and hip-hop unlike what she has previously done. Possible guest vocalists include Elton John, Azaelia Banks, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj however Gaga tweeted that there may be no collaborations as the album is very "personal".
As of December 2012 no official songs of the album have been released. However possible tracks have been performed or leaked by Gaga. These songs include a remixed version of Zedd's "Stache", a hip-hop song called "Cake" and an ode to Princess Diana titled "Princess Die". Originally the lead single was to be released in January 2013 but Gaga doesn't expect it to come out by then.
