A Decade Of Lady Gaga's ARTPOP

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of Lady Gagaā€™s fan-favorite record release, letā€™s take a dive back into some of the most iconic and unforgettable moments surrounding the music, fashion, technology, aesthetics and magic of ARTPOP.Ā 
We first took a glimpse into the ARTPOP universe when Gaga performed at the 2013 MTV VMAs, where she premiered the first single ā€œApplauseā€. For the performance she collaborated with the renowned theater director Robert Wilson, with whom she further worked later on in 2013, posing for him, while Wilson was recreating some of the most iconic paintings that were later displayed in Louvre, Paris.
Ā  Ā  Ā Ā 
Gaga joined forces with American artist and sculptor Jeff Koons for the album cover. Koons created a special statue of Gaga with his famous gazing ball. Gaga used the statue and incorporated Sandro Botticelliā€™s ā€œThe Birth of Venusā€ and Gian Lorenzo Berniniā€™s ā€œApollo and Daphneā€ for the iconic cover. The cover truly represented the mixture of high art and culture into pop, representing Gagaā€™s idea of a ā€œreverse Warholianā€ (pop-art) process.
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā 
Gaga worked with numerous producers on ARTPOP. She worked with DJ Zedd, DJ White Shadow, Madeonā€¦ The goal was to incorporate multiple genres, including EDM, rave, R&B, rap, dubstep and pop.
Gaga also gave countless interviews and performed on numerous TV shows and award ceremonies including iTunes Festival, American Music Awards, Saturday Night Live, Graham Norton Show, X Factor, The Voice, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and even ā€œLady Gaga and the Muppets Holiday Specialā€ including guest performances by Elton John and RuPaul.
Gaga held a one-day exclusive album launch party - artRave, headlined the concert special live at Roseland Ballroom and embarked on a world tour artRave: The ARTPOP Ball.
The whole ARTPOP era was filled with extravagant fashion, even multiple outfits with different wigs in a single day. Gaga served with every single outfit, day after day.
Ā Ā Ā Ā 
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 
Ā Ā 
Happy 10 year anniversary ARTPOP. You are and will forever be one of the most avantgarde and underrated pop masterpieces!Ā

Critics Praise Lady Gaga & The Rolling Stones

Music critics are praising Lady Gaga's heavenly vocal delivery on The Rolling Stones new record "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" with Stevie Wonder.
Neil McCormick from UK's The TelegraphĀ gave a 5 out 5 star review saying that "Jagger and Gaga are on astonishing, exultant form", adding:
"But the outstanding thrill of this performance is yet to come, as it builds to a huge climax and reaches a powerful conclusion after five minutes, only for Jordan to pick up the beat again. Gaga laughs and joins in, trilling the chorus melody, producer Andrew Watt adds a bass line and Jagger calls ā€œPlay me something, Stevieā€, inspiring Wonder to weigh in with lubricious piano."
Ed Potton from The Times UK wrote another 5 star review calling the record "a jam session for the gods,ā€Ā adding:
"Sweet Sounds of Heaven sounds like a band at the peak of a jam session for the gods: loosened up, euphoric and effortlessly bouncing off each other. And what a band it is. Lady Gaga holds her own against a rejuvenated Mick Jagger on vocals, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood turn the clock back to their pomp, Steve Jordan impressively replaces Charlie Watts on drums and a certain Stevie Wonder plays sublime piano, Fender Rhodes and Moog."
Gil Kaufman from BillboardĀ said:
"Lady Gaga goes to church and skies up into her highest, most soulful register on the new Rolling Stones gospel blues burner ā€œSweet Sounds of Heaven.Ā The song eventually rises to a joyous riot of guitar, drums, saxophone and keyboards more than five minutes in, building to a pair of joyous peaks as Jagger and Gaga get entangled in a growly soul shout-off."
Kristina Baum fromĀ The Rolling Stone Germany wrote:
"Sweet Sounds of Heavenā€ is a more soulful number that builds up into a pompous number with a big band feel ā€“ also thanks to Lady Gagaā€™s vocal power."
Joey Nolfi from EW said:
"Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and the Rolling Stones spent more than seven minutes in heaven together on their new song, and now they've finally shared its sweet sounds with the world ā€” including a new vocal style from Gaga unlike anything you've heard from her before."
Kaelen Bell from Canadian Exclaim wrote:
"Gaga is clearly channelling some Merry Clayton-esque, background-singer-who-steals-the-show bravura in her wailing delivery. It's a pretty solid song for a band in their sixth decade! Gaga adds some real electricity to the thing, and you just know she had fun in that studio trading "oh yeahs" with Jagger."
Carys Anderson and Eddie Fu from theĀ Consequence of SoundĀ said:
"Jagger is then joined by Gaga, who at first delivers restrained backing vocals on the second verse before letting it all hang out on the chorus."
Cillea Houghton fromĀ American Songwriter wrote:
"The bluesy tune proves that rock and roll and soul music can live harmoniously. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger takes lead vocals while Gaga turns into a bonafide soul singer as Wonder shows off his musicianship by playing piano and the Moog synthesizer."
Ā 
'Sweet Sounds of Heaven' is the second single from The Rolling Stones album 'Hackney Diamonds' out on October 20.
