… Because if so, I definitely am. Above is the artwork for Lady GaGa‘s first single from Artpop, entitled ‘Applause’. Well, she’s certainly getting that from me – a nice, slow clap as I try to figure out what the fuck is wrong with this sad clown makeup with an “avant garde” twist. Make it stop. At least she’s not naked in this shot – not literally, anyway. I’m sure metaphorically, this is a peek into GaGa’s very soul. There’s a big statement here (according to her), I’m sure of it.
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin took the photo, which was revealed by WWD. In case you forgot, ‘Applause’ will be out next month and Artpop is coming out in November, blah blah blah. Here’s GaGa’s tweet about how you can pre-order the album, because I know you’re all waiting for it with baited breath.
Due to public anticipation ITUNES will now offer preorder for ARTPOP album/app AUG 19 the same day you can purchase my new single 'Applause'
