Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP new album, app to be released in Novomber

PanARMENIAN.Net - Lady Gaga’s new album ARTPOP will arrive this November and will be accompanied with an app, the pop superstar has announced, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Gaga’s third album will drop on Nov. 11 alongside an app she describes in a wordy statement as “a musicial and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion and technology.” And there is a promise that the user will share in the “adrenaline of fame.”

Naturally, a single will drop first, on Aug. 19. And pre-orders for the album will kick off Sept. 1, according to the statement published today on Gaga’s Facebook page.

Lady Gaga had unveiled plans late last year for ARTPOP, though the project was expected to roll-out in early 2013.

There’s some new insight into the album itself, though today's statement is so dense that her millions of fans should be left delightfully puzzled. ARTPOP, according to the message, “musically mirrors Gaga’s creative process as she passes through the medium of each artist she collaborates with, scoring a blueprint on her journey.” The result, we’re told, is “a ‘rage’ of electronic passion and fury defining each artistic process from beginning to end. ARTPOP could mean anything.”

On Nov. 10, Gaga will host an evening of “artRave” with a host of collaborators, including the controversial artist Jeff Koons.

With new music looming later in the year, Lady Gaga will be keen to bury what was a difficult first half of 2013. An injured hip meant the pop star had to prematurely cancel her Born This Way Ball tour early this year.

All told, 22 shows were canceled, forcing the refund of roughly 200,000 tickets worth approximately $25 million in gross ticket sales, Billboard estimates.

Britain’s The Sun reports that she will return to the stage this September for the iTunes Festival at the refurbished Camden Roundhouse in London. The Haus of Gaga team are tipped to have a budget of £500,000 ($759,000) on the production.
