ITSVON SPOTICY

f*** SPELLING

Fair enough to get excited about the key change if it was actually good but it actually makes the song even worse. Her vocals on the key change part sound so weak too, they not only sound cheesy but also just sound a bit empty. The key change doesn't make the song sound bigger at all.

 

If this is honestly the best song on the album she has lost that spark she had for sure. I hope this is just a poor lead single choice.

This also couldn't sound further away from what makes a hit in 2016.

Shocked, but I dont hear any rock influences in this? Its a straight up dance-pop song, yet it doesnt sound like it fits any of her albums? Maybe Born This Way...

 

Personally, while her vocals slayed me, the song is underwhelming and a tad repetitive. Curious to see how it performs on Pop radio

I really do feel like this is asking for a dance remix for pop radio, with the original going to other radio formats.

IT'S OUT ON UK ITUNES

 

Having calmed down from my stan state a bit, this is no way a hit. I just can't see it catching on, but she's choosing artistry over chasing a hit. This is what she wants to do, and you tell it's coming from her heart.

 

I love it though, I adore how raw it feels and the power behind it. I can definitely see it being marmite though, for sure.

Sorry, I'm not buying the whole artistry over charts thing. There is no real artistry in releasing a less than average song.

 

It's hardly as if this is experimental or indie either; it is clearly a out and out pop track, the instrumental, the key change and the pop hook. This is trying to be a pop song and therefore a chart hit but it is missing the mark tenfold.

I think it does give me an 80s vibe, which is what she went for. However I think "The Edge Of Glory" was a much more successful attempt at recreating that era and giving it a modern touch

Pop songs don't per se fail on their own terms just because they aren't a chart hit. This unambiguously throws back to 80s pop-rock - a sound that isn't exactly in right now. It seems a little r*ductive to judge it as a track on the basis of how well it performs in a chart scene which couldn't be further from this sound.

SCREW YOU GUYS! THIS IS AMAZING!

 

I love everything about it! Her voice is seriously stunning, the production is so f***ing retro 90's it's BEAUTIFUL!. Most I've stanned for a song by her since 'Bad Romance'. Outside of 'Glory', this is the best song I've heard this entire year. It's UNEQUIVOCALLY Gaga, but a change of pace. I AM IN FULL STAN MODE.

 

The only song I've listened to on repeat since 'Glory' dropped.

 

11/10

 

YAAAASSSSSSSS GAGA!

I've never really a been a huge fan and this definitely won't be changing that, haha.

I love the production, I just can't get on board with those vocals. I'm not sure if it sounds like a massive hit but it is certainly a BIG song and a good way to make a comeback.
