In case you were unswayed by all the hype Lady Gaga has tossed around regarding her next album ARTPOP, Mother Monster revealed more hyperbolic details about the record in a chat with fans on her Little Monsters social networking site. Gaga told them the record “is very risky,” which is no surprise since she already spoke about splitting it into commercial and experimental volumes. “My favorite thing about Born This Way album is that it was risky…and its own thing,” she wrote. “ARTPOP is very risky…if you’re not taking a risk you’re not breaking any boundaries.”

The sometime-jazz singer also talked about how fans can expect an in-your-face album, saying that ARTPOP is “like an assault…on your mind, ears, body.” If “Cake” is any indication, this seems about right. In the online dialogue published by UltimateGaga.net, the 26-year-old singer, whose last album Born This Way came out back in 2011, also admitted that the reason this album was taking so long is because the well-known perfectionist insisted on writing all of her songs herself. “I feel so bad. I know you all wanna kill me. But nobody writes my songs for me!” Gaga said. “Every single song you’ve ever heard by me, I created from nothing with friends. So it takes some time. New inspiration. New sounds. New experiences.”

Recently Gaga has been non-stop talking about her newest LP. Previously she announced that it will be “multimedia experience” featuring a “Telephone” sequel. On November 27, the wild Lady even tweeted that she has written “like 50 songs” for the album. Oh, and don’t forget, she’s reteaming with famed photographer Terry Richardson to do a documentary on ARTPOP. Even though we feel like we know far more than we need to about this album, we also feel like we have no idea what’s in store.

    Ok Gaga, and Born This Way was the ~ album of the decade…

  2. HELLO

    This smells like another massive failure

      She has not had a “massive failure” Born This Way was the second best selling album of 2011. Her tour is among the best selling tours of the year. She is only a few years into her career and she is already at the point where she sells tours like a legend. Her perfume is one of the best selling perfumes of all time. I believe her album will do great, as usual. :)

        you cant have a ‘best selling’ album when it cost a dollar

        • Cal

          She did not sell the album for a dollar, she had nothing to do with that and it was only for a very short time that it was sold at that price, the fact is it was the second best selling album of that year period.

    Now this album I am waiting for! Hail the queen of POP!

    • MichaelA

      I always hail the Queen.. Madonna

      you need to learn the titles of music. the Queen is Madonna, you know the woman with the iconic, controversial, boundary breaking amazing, music, lyrics, videos, performances etc.

      people like gaga who are princesses look up to Madonna like little children and say ‘one day i wanna be like her’ but they never become her.

      everything about Madonna is better and more successful!!- more sales, number 1′s, iconic stuff, look sound etc,.

      there really is only one Queen and thats… MADONNA BITCH!!
