I actually think the iTunes Festival version was better than the final studio version.

Madeon talks about working with Gaga on ARTPOP and "Tinnitus"

What was it liking working on Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album?

It was awesome. It was a great experience for me, definitely. She’s a very, obviously insanely talented person. She’s a great vocalist, a true, real songwriter. She’s great. It was very impressive to me and inspirational, but also, she cares a lot about everyone that works with her. I felt like she respected me, and that was very meaningful. She doesn’t work with tons of producers all the time.

 

The way I approached it was to trust her judgements and be a tool in her process to execute her vision. I didn’t want to come in and try to make it a Madeon song. I wanted to make sure that it was a way for her to express her ideas. If I worked for someone different, I would probably have a different approach, but I felt like I came in, started working on the album, like halfway through it’s completion, so it already had an identity.

 

It wasn’t my role to define it, you know what I mean? That’s how I approached it, but I saw her again recently. I saw her performing the songs we had worked on together live, and it was very, very touching to me. Overall, it was a very important experience for me.

 

I think “Gypsy” was the best song on that album.

Thank you, I think so too.

 

Is there an unreleased song? There’s a rumor about a track called “Tinnitus.”

Pretty much everything we’ve worked on has been released. I don’t have, how can I word that, I do not personally have any copy of a song with Lady Gaga singing that’s called “Tinnitus.” I don’t have it.

 

How is it working with Lady Gaga different to say Coldplay?

It’s quite, first of all, it was a much longer process. We worked together for way longer, but as I said, I have to keep in mind who she was and try to understand what she wanted to do to make sure I was helpful in accomplishing her vision. I think when you work with an upcoming artist, or something like that, you may have more of a possibility to assert your identity, and help them find their identity.

 

I think, now, if I were to work with Lady Gaga right now, I would do it very differently, I think, because I’m more confident as a producer. It was an insanely meaningful learning experience for me working with her.

MANiCURE in Billboard 15 Recent Pop Songs That Weren't Released as Singles

 

Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album has a few quietly stunning track sequences nestled within its 15 songs, and the lovably "MANiCURE" injects a jolt of energy into the middle section of the full-length. An underrated expansion of Gaga's sound, ARTPOP still lacks the sort of otherworldly hooks that Fame Monster fans longed for -- but "MANiCURE" totally hits its mark as a triumphant post-breakup romp, and is one of the instances on the album in which Gaga's vocal performance is jubilantly unabashed. Perhaps if the album had been given a few more cracks at a smash hit, "MANiCURE" would have reached its potential as one.

ARTPOP gets too much hate. There's some great songs on there which would've also been decent singles - Gypsy, G.U.Y. (:kink:), MANiCURE, ARTPOP, Sexxx Dreams and of course Venus.
For me 'Gypsy', 'Do What You Want', 'Applause', 'G.U.Y.', 'Sexxx Dreams' & 'MaNicure' are the only songs worth going back to. Everything else on the album was just FILLER (or plain S.H.IT. (hello 'Penus' - I really will never understand how or why it's got so many fans!))
NO. UTTER GOD DAMN BLASPHEMY.

EAT PUKE FROM US AFTER LISTENING TO VENUS TO HEEZUS :nocheer:

MANiCURE took its time to grow on me but it's essential now. There are so many highlights on the album but it's all just a bit MUCH to listen to all the way through now for me. It certainly doesn't have the replay value of her other albums.
Dope is great. The slurred words and raw vocals characterise the song.
