Okay, Gaga was on LM.com talking about ARTPOP yesterday. Info ahead:
- ARTPOP Vol.2 To Release Six Months After ARTPOP Vol.1. “Sort of thinking that vol. 1 should have all the commercial songs and save the experimental material for vol. 2.”.
- Gaga is currently working on ARTPOP with DJ White Shadow (“Bloody Mary”, “Government Hooker”), Fernando Garibay (“Marry The Night”, “The Edge of Glory”) and RedOne (“Poker Face”, “Bad Romance”, “Judas”), as well as new producers Zedd and Madeon.
- "I love indonesian monsters, they inspired some songs on ARTPOP, I was really inspired by the conflict we had with indonesia so I wrote some songs about it but their more metaphorical and conceptual about bringing people together, both are dance songs, one song is a complextro masterpiece and the other is a hip-hop/j-pop/pop song. And it's not hip-hop in the way you know, it's more underground chicago gay club trap and it's very diffrent from Azealia Banks music because she's more 90's house."
- "All the songs are completely diffrent. anyway the album is not one kind of music and I think i'm going to release 2 volumes - ARTPOP volume 1 and ARTPOP volume 2 and would put on second volume maybe like 6 months after this?. the app IS COMING ALONG AMAZING and that's why I fly back to chicago to work on app and see taylor. the developers on artpop are all like 22 and genius kids, you'd be surprised how many genius little monsters their are!
- I can't decide how to tracklist yet but it's sort of thinking that VOL.1 should have all the commercials songs, and then save the experimental meterial. but to be honest even the experimental stuff is catchy.VOL.1 is a bit more modern. Cake Like Lady Gaga it's not really experimental more just fun trap. I wouldn't call what I do 'rap' it's more like hardcore glam that's what they call it underground, spoked word over techno/hip-hop, and there's techno yea."
- "It's NOTHING like bornthisway. but it will feel like a 'piece' the way btw did."
- "I don't think Princess Die will make the cut, but I wrote another version of princess die that is uptempo...totally diffrent song. Princess Die isn't as good as all the other songs I wrote, artpop is more a project experience. Like, each song means something to me whether or not it makes the record."

And so far, we have six song titles confirmed: ARTPOP, **rq (Burqa), Tea, Element of Crime, Ratchet (ft. Azealia Banks), Red Flame (ft. Azealia Banks).
Oh, and she'll probably start leaking songs soon...
