September 25, 201212 yr 'Ride' has leaked: http://omfgmusic.net/post/32229799916/lana...ide-has-arrived :wub:
September 25, 201212 yr Worked wonders for GaGa, albeit with one less song. Do you mean to say that if The Fame Monster (or whatever the 8 tracks extra disc was called) had been released separately then she would not have been so successful?
September 25, 201212 yr Do you mean to say that if The Fame Monster (or whatever the 8 tracks extra disc was called) had been released separately then she would not have been so successful? Not necessarily, more that it's a release tactic that's been proven to work and is probably a "safe" way to go - it's closely related enough to the original release to carry some of its momentum but has enough extra tracks to tempt people who already own the standard edition. Although saying that, The Fame Monster was a separate release in the US and didn't do as well as it did over here as a package.
September 25, 201212 yr So is "Blue Velvet" just a promo/advert single, and "Ride" is the official single? Or is "Ride" just for the US?

September 25, 201212 yr Author Ride is decent enough for a single but once again there's no deviation from her formula. Snap for Burning Desire. Paradise on the other hand (which for some reason didn't make the tracklist) is quite different for her and all the better for it.
September 25, 201212 yr Ride is brilliant, I wish it was something different but why fix what isn't broke?

September 27, 201212 yr My God, this sort of treatment usually gets given to 10 or 20 year anniversary releases.
September 29, 201212 yr I love ride but kind of wished that Damn You was on the repack, it resonates so strongly with me. I think the songs are going to be darker and even less pop than BTD. Was kind of hoping she would release something more commercial and get that smash. Like I could have seen Britney or Katy perry doing that Damn You song, and Rihanna just released such a Lana inspired song in Diamonds. I just think she could compete with these girls.
October 1, 201212 yr I don't see why she has to compete with any of the aforementioned singers. She is not an out and out pop singer, much more niche.
October 12, 201212 yr Author Great video though. Unlike Gaga her pretentiousness is sort of appealing. She even smiles!
