    Fans of Lady Gaga have been waiting with bated breath for the release of the pop star’s latest album, ARTPOP.

    One of the reasons ARTPOP is still in the works is that Lady Gaga is a perfectionist, and, despite accusations to the contrary, she is still more of an artist than a businesswoman. Refusing to profit off her current popularity by releasing album after album of hastily slapped together songs creating chaos like at the blackjack table, Lady Gaga still insists on writing every song herself.

    In a tweet last November, Gaga announced she had written “like 50” songs for ARTPOP, but the process of recording and producing the songs continues. Both Gaga and her producer intend to make history with this next album. The star promises that ARTPOP will be very risky—even riskier than her last album, Born This Way, which was released in 2011. She also said that ARTPOP will be a multimedia experience linked to apps on various platforms like iPad and smartphones. A “Telephone” sequel has also been promised.i4c693e4ad8475_700
