Gaga 's third studio album '' Artpop '' was released in November 2013 to mixed reviews . It debuted atop the '' Billboard '' 200 chart , and had sold 2.5 million copies as of July 2014 . Gaga split from her longtime manager Troy Carter in late 2013 . By June 2014 she and new manager Bobby Campbell had joined Artist Nation , the artist management division of Live Nation Entertainment . Gaga confessed to '' New Musical Express '' that she had been depressed about herself and her talents , and had decided to quit music altogether . The ambivalent reception to '' Artpop '' led Gaga 's management to come up with an image change for her . Along with a more subdued appearance in the media , Gaga emphasized her vocal prowess . A tribute to '' The Sound of Music '' at the 87th Academy Awards , where she sang a medley of songs from the film , was critically lauded . She and Tony Bennett also released '' Cheek to Cheek '' , an album of jazz duets , in September 2014 to generally favorable reviews . It debuted atop the '' Billboard '' 200 , becoming Gaga 's third consecutive number-one album in the United States , and won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
