Lady Gaga has revealed that her third album 'ARTPOP' will be released as an app, urging her fans to start buying iPads in advance of the album release.
Gaga revealed the unique release method, which will include games, pictures, extra music and other interactive elements in a post on her social network Little Monsters, last night (Sept 5). Writing to her fans, Gaga said:
"Im excited to tell you all that ARTPOP is going to be a multimedia experience that comes in different forms. The most major way to fully immerse yourself in ARTPOP is through the APP. ARTPOP will be released as an IPAD, iPhone, mobile and computer compatible application (WORLD) that is completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, gaga inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more still in the works! I will also be able to upload new things to the APP all the time, the same way i upload to twitter and LM.com."
Explaining her reasoning behind the creation of the ARTPOP app, Gaga continued: "You inspired me to create something that communicated with images, because YOU do, YOU communicate with me and each other with .gifs and pictures, and artwork, graphics ALL DAY 24/7/ YOU'RE an ARTPOP generation. Im hoping you will all continue to grow together and stay connected through your creativity. much love. love, gaga p.s (start asking for IPADS FOR XMAS!!) its gonna be so fun. but dont worry. it will also be released in the regular physical and digitals which will be unique and different to the app."
Earlier this week it was revealed that Gaga has worked with Azealia Banks on the new album, as well as teasing fans with images she claims have inspired her to make the album.
