Lady Gaga
Artpop
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed, latest run of the 2019 2LP, US gatefold reissue. ARTPOP is maximal pop as concept and collision. EDM, glam, and art-school theatrics crash together in bright, volatile bursts, with Gaga pushing spectacle and vulnerability in the same breath. “Applause” winks at the circus, “G.U.Y.” struts with baroque bravado, and the deeper cuts revel in texture and excess. Polarizing by design, it’s an ambitious swing that treats pop as a gallery installation, loud, glossy, and unafraid of mess.
