ELLE Canada interviewed Lady Gaga about her beauty evolution and her makeup brand, Haus Labs. In the interview, Lady Gaga shared her insights on self-care, her relationship with beauty and skincare, and discussed her beauty brand, Haus Labs. You can read part of the interview below: Asked about where her love for skin science comes from, Gaga replied: “As a kid, I always watched my mom take care of herself, and she was vigilant about her morning skincare routine, a beautiful makeup routine and makeup as self-care. When I started this brand, I knew I wanted it to be inclusive. ...there was this huge problem in makeup: When you wear it all the time, it wrecks your skin. I wear a lot of makeup because I’m a performer, so I wanted to push myself in this space. What got me so into skin science was my love of taking care of my own skin." Gaga also added this about her beauty evolution and her relationship with music and makeup: “When I was a teenager, I was really self-conscious and I loved makeup and the way it helped give me some type of superhero cape. ...I went to a school where it wasn’t really okay to express with your physical appearance. So I really started screaming [about who I was] when I got out of school. Then I got deeper and deeper into music and started to create these various personas for myself with makeup, and they all felt natural. For me, makeup was a way to be whomever I wanted to be at any given moment and say the things on the outside that I was feeling on the inside—but not with words. Instead of telling people who you are, you’re showing them.” Gaga then once again mentioned her love for the fans, saying: “We love our fans so much, and we just want to make everyone happy by delivering high-quality products that really enhance the artistry experience and the beauty experience. So, for me, there’s always that warmth in my heart when I see the makeup make somebody’s day.” You can read the full interview HERE.

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of Lady Gaga’s fan-favorite record release, let’s take a dive back into some of the most iconic and unforgettable moments surrounding the music, fashion, technology, aesthetics and magic of ARTPOP. We first took a glimpse into the ARTPOP universe when Gaga performed at the 2013 MTV VMAs, where she premiered the first single “Applause”. 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. 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 Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s “Apollo and Daphne” for the iconic cover. The cover truly represented the mixture of high art and culture into pop, representing Gaga’s idea of a “reverse Warholian” (pop-art) process. Gaga worked with numerous producers on ARTPOP. She worked with DJ Zedd, DJ White Shadow, Madeon… 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 “Lady Gaga and the Muppets Holiday Special” 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. Happy 10 year anniversary ARTPOP. You are and will forever be one of the most avantgarde and underrated pop masterpieces!

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 Telegraph 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 “Play me something, Stevie”, 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,” 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 Billboard said: "Lady Gaga goes to church and skies up into her highest, most soulful register on the new Rolling Stones gospel blues burner “Sweet Sounds of Heaven. 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 from The Rolling Stone Germany wrote: "Sweet Sounds of Heaven” is a more soulful number that builds up into a pompous number with a big band feel – also thanks to Lady Gaga’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 — 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 the Consequence of Sound 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 from 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." 'Sweet Sounds of Heaven' is the second single from The Rolling Stones album 'Hackney Diamonds' out on October 20.

Lady Gaga shared with Variety how the collaboration between her Born This Way Foundation and Cotton On is working on making a kinder and braver world with mental health resources available for everyone.

Speaking about the Born This Way Foundation and Cotton On Foundation partnership, Gaga also said: "It is so refreshing to see a brand want to do something about mental health, but also not make it a drop in the bucket and let’s just do a T-shirt. They took the time to make this cool and beautiful and something that people can latch onto in a cultural way." You can read the full interview on Variety.com

Check out the full lyrics for the upcoming Lady Gaga and The Rolling Stones song Sweet Sounds of Heaven. Their new collaborative song is described as a "show-stopping almost spiritual conclusion as Lady Gaga goes toe to toe with Mick Jagger". The song also features Stevie Wonder on piano. I hear the sweet, sweet sounds of heaven. Falling down, falling down to this earth. I heard the sweet sweetest sounds of heaven. Drifting down, drifting down to this earth. Bless the father, bless the son. Hear the sound of the drums as it echoes through the valley and it bursts. Let no woman or child go hungry tonight. Please protect us from the pain and the hurt. Yeah. I smell the sweet scents the sweet scents of heaven. Tumbling down, tumbling down to the earth. I hear the sweet sounds, the sweet sounds of children. And they're praising the land of their birth. No, I'm not, not going down in the dirt. I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna cry. Eat the bread, drink the wine. Cause [...] finally quenching [...]. You can't have a light without a little shadow. Always need a target for your bow and arrow. I want to be drenched in the rain of your heavenly love. Let the music play loud, let it burst through the clouds. And we all feel the heat of the sun. Yeah. Let us sing let us shout. Let us all stand up proud. Let the old still believe that they're young. Sweet sweet sound. Sounds so sweet. Sounds so sweet. Heaven. Heaven. Falling down to this earth. I hear the sweet sweet sounds of heaven. Coming down falling down to the earth. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Hear the gods laughing from above. Falling down falling down to this earth. Let me lay down and sleep. Heaven. Heaven.

Lady Gaga gave an interview to Refinery 29 talking about Haus Labs' new concealer, her beauty routine, and dealing with insecurities. Gaga delved into details speaking about how they made the new Haus Labs concealer: "We have to put inside of it all the 21 ingredients that are in the foundation so that you’re treating your skin and treating the redness on your face. We packed it with a biotech-caffeine that was derived with Ayurvedic medicine and in two weeks, underneath the eyes, you’ll visibly see that you’ve depuffed the eyes. We’ve done a ton of studies to show this. It’s amazing." She also shared parts of her daily beauty routine: "I wash my face in the morning and I’ll do a ton of toners, I’ll do serums, I’ll do all sorts of things on my skin and then I’ll end with moisturizer and sunscreen — I use a moisturizer that’s also a sunscreen. And then after, I’ll take the concealer and I’ll either put it on the areas I want to conceal and then I’ll use my fingers and tap it in." In the end, Gaga concluded how she feels about makeup while getting older: "I think makeup is powerful because if you feel concerned about getting older, like I am, you have makeup to be there for you to build your confidence. But I’m 37 and I feel more confident than I have in my whole career. It’s just because I love more things about myself than I did when I was younger. When I was younger, I loved fashion and I loved beauty, but I cared less about how my whole life came together and now it’s the person inside me that I know is truly the really valuable part of me and everything else is just an extension of that."

An old Lady Gaga demo song titled "Nothing On (But The Radio)" has been rewritten, re-recorded, and released by American actress and singer Addison Rae on her new EP. The track was originally offered to Lady Gaga during the recording sessions for Born This Way in 2010. She added a few original lyrics to the song and recorded a demo, but somehow the song didn't end up on the album. Ever since, the demo has been circulating on the web and delighting fans over the years. Lady Gaga tried to release the track again, produced by DJ White Shadow, for her album ARTPOP in 2013, changing the title to "Heard It On The Radio." However, the song was scrapped from the final cut since Gaga didn't like how the song turned out. The track was recently acquired by Addison Rae, and she released it on her debut extended play AR, which is set to be released on August 18th. Since the lyrics were changed, Gaga is sadly no longer credited as the songwriter. You can listen to Addison Rae's version of the song on Spotify and Apple Music. jxsse.x.16 · Nothing On (But The Radio) - Lady Gaga
