I thought it was titled Aura? :huh: And it's only a demo? I have downloaded numerous versions of the song and some DO sound like demos but there's a 3 minute 21 second version which sounds top notch. I'm confused.

^ it was confirmed soon after it leaked to be an early demo.

Remember the rumours Burqa was gonna be the first single?

 

Glad it's not, it would flop worse than Judas.

 

Hoping those rumours weren't true as that would mean Applause is of similar quality :/ Needs to be MUCH better.

 

Thought that was Mel C for a minute!

The other way around, Toby...

Gaga is beautiful in her way -_-

Gaga is beautiful in her way -_-

 

And Mel C is beautiful in EVERY way.

And Mel C is beautiful in EVERY way.

Too true.

With the ARTPOP references it's surely going to be on the album though? :snif:

Whoever thought up the look of that shoot is clearly in the wrong profession.

Unfortunately so!

GaGa told fans to steer clear of this demo and that they shouldn't share it with other people as she wants to keep album a secret.

 

IT'S INTERNET BITCH everyone has everything in MINUTES. Especially if it involves Gaga lol

It's produced by Infected Mushroom and Zedd, here's the instrumental:

 

Why were they playing the instrumental to the track way before its release?

 

Who leaked it, GaGa's team for pre-publicity or someone else?

 

^ apparently Infected Mushroom gave Gaga that instrumental, and Zedd co-produced it, but idk we'll find out soon.

 

We don't know who leaked it or how it got leaked. Gaga and her team are usually good at keeping things from leaking so I wouldn't be surprised if Gaga leaked it herself for publicity, although she wants the links removed so that wouldn't really make sense.

It could be a bit like, protesting too much. She takes them down as she knows they'll come back up and people have to go searching for them, increased hype.

Yeah this is definitely amazing album track but terrible single material. I think Applause needs to be something in between this and Born This Way, so it's quite unique and twisted and electro but also commercial and catchy and poppy.

It's f***ing Gaga. I don't think she needs to build any hype. The news she's releasing the song and album on its own IS the biggest hype she'll get.

UGH. This better be on the album by some miracle, I need to blast in my car in HQ. :snif:

She is the woman whose second album was touted as 'revolutionary' and 'the best album in 10 years' soo obviously she + her management like as much hype as possible.

This is strangely growing on me, I love how much of a nutcase she can be. I feel like I'm lwaiting just to hear her say the word "burqa" at the end every time though.
