answer: Applause
context: Title: Artpop
  Passage: Artpop (stylized as ARTPOP) is the third studio album recorded by American singer Lady Gaga, released on November 6, 2013, by Streamline and Interscope Records.  Gaga began planning the project in 2011, shortly after the launch of her second effort, "Born This Way".  Work continued until 2013 while the singer was traveling for her Born This Way Ball concert tour and recovering from surgery for an injury she had sustained while touring.  Gaga described "Artpop" as "a celebration and a poetic musical journey" and an exploration of the "reverse Warholian" phenomenon in pop culture.  It displays an intentional "lack of maturity and responsibility" by comparison to the darker and anthemic nature of "Born This Way".  Gaga collaborated with various producers on the record, including Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, RedOne, Zedd and Madeon.  Lyrically, "Artpop" revolves around Gaga's personal views of fame, sex and self-empowerment; references include Greek and Roman mythology.  It also features guest vocals from T.I., Too Short, Twista, and R. Kelly.
