Lady Gaga’s new 2013 album, Artpop, comes out in less than a month. Gaga recently teased fans by releasing the cover art for the record. This follows excited comments by DJ Zedd, the producer of the album.
The cover art for Gaga’s new record recently found its way to the internet. Spoiler Alert: It doesn’t disappoint.
At first glance, the cover art is purely sensational. Viewers can’t help but focus on a nude Lady Gaga, cupping her breasts and straddling a ball. But according to The Guardian, there is some deeper meaning:
“While your eye might not immediately be drawn to the album cover's background – there is, after all, a large shiny blue ball resting between her legs – it features elements of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus crudely juxtaposed with a black-and-white image of what may or may not be Gaga's nose. Given that she recently spent the majority of her iTunes festival show half-naked, her modesty covered only by some strategically placed shells, and with a wig of flowing brown locks piled on her head, it's clear that Gaga's latest muse is the goddess Venus.”
The Guardian’s not the only one talking. A producer for the album, EDM legend DJ Zedd, recently opened up about what it was like to work with the pop princess:
"It was very interesting to have someone say, 'I think we should change this and that,' because I usually don't get that. So it's like a positive fight -- you try to make the best for a song, and … you learn to compromise and find new ways, and I think that ultimately the songs get to a point that I would never be able to get to myself."
This isn’t the first time Zedd has spoken up about the album. Over the summer, the dj told fans:
“I'm really, really excited for people to hear what we came up with. I just really can't imagine they would not like it, to just say it straight up. I think the stuff we've made is pretty f--cking cool. It's amazing, because does not have to please anyone, and she is who she is. Her first idea of how we should approach the music was just to be completely open--nothing is too crazy. Whatever is dope is dope. We do whatever we want, and we don't have to make a song that's three minutes and 30 seconds just to fit the radio."
