February 8, 20187 yr I don't think it's necessarily laziness, more so that radio edits would get rid of the fade-out anyway so no sense in having it in the first place. I think so too. What's the point in adding an extra 15+ (in best cases) seconds to your song when it's just gonna be cut out when it's played on the radio anyway? Streaming could also have a bit of a play in it too. The Weeknd & Daft Punk - I Feel It Coming fades out also. Daft Punk seem to like their fade outs :P Edited February 8, 20187 yr by Dexton
February 9, 20187 yr The radio edit of 'I Feel It Coming' Ends and is about a minute shorter than the album version too.
July 17, 20186 yr Author Discovered during the weekend that Cardi B's 'I Like It' fades out. Edited July 17, 20186 yr by zenon
July 17, 20186 yr Juice WRLD - Lucid Dreams also has a fadeout! and I Like It also has a fade-in to go with its fadeout, can't say that about many songs.
June 22, 20196 yr Miley Cyrus's Mother's Daughter fades out. I’ve been waiting almost a year for this moment.
June 22, 20196 yr i actually generally hate songs that fade out, it sounds lazy to me and like they didn't know how to finish it properly. I like songs that have a definite end.
June 22, 20196 yr If it’s an instrumental fade out then I don’t mind it but as Lindsey said songs feel unfinished when they’re still singing. Spice Girls - Goodbye and Rihanna - Umbrella are notable example of songs that seem like they could keep going just for that little bit longer
June 23, 20196 yr I don't generally mind if songs fade out. Sometimes I don't really like it but there are instances where it actually adds to the emotional impact for me. Alanis Morissette's 'Thank U' is a good example, with her wailing emotionally until the song fades out. Goosebumps.
December 16, 2024Dec 16 I hate a fade out 90% of the time bc it just feels lazy and like they didn't know how to end it but it can be good if done right
December 16, 2024Dec 16 I noticed the Grace Davies just sent to BJSC fades out too. Quite a rare beast indeed these days.
December 16, 2024Dec 16 When I'm presenting on the radio I hate talking over vocals at the start/end of songs so it really irks me when I get songs that fade out. I'm glad they're less common today, also from an artistic perspective it just feels better to give a song a proper ending rather than looping with a fade out
