Sour Candy

May I ask where How Bad Do U Want Me is? It's holding the best out of the Mayhem album tracks in the US.

Me only #5 when Gaga released an album? Flop!

Thank you Kath!

Another thing that takes ages, is Interscope updating her RIAA certs. There are several singles that can be like millions of units higher (Judas and Shallow in particular).

This just overtook Disease in Spotify streams (168M)

Ok, so technically she hasn't announced the tour but she just announced 4 shows in Singapore in addition to Coachella, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. I think that already qualifies as a tour.

Lovely review!!

Very ARTRAVE, love it so much

Wonder if she starts her upcoming festival set with Abracadabra....

WHAT!?!?!??

It works so well in the context of the album Flows perfectly from Blade Of Grass both sonically and lyrically! It shouldn't be skipped

I had always returned to the start after BoG and sometimes skipped Disease and Abra too, but I must say that the singles really represent the album even though they are sonically different to some tracks.

This really fits into the album as a whole. The journey from Disease to this - absolute VISION!

I think some Little Managers were very scared of this being on the album musically but it WORKS

First time listening to this in the album context

At first, I didn't really like her singing on this, but it is a huge grower in its simplicity. Beautiful lyrics too.

This is a true grower - and also a bit MJ (Dirty Diana vibes).

A bit of iconique, the pre chorus and chorus are total ear worm.

This probably my least favourite from the album but it's still 8/10, especially the Daft Punk -esque C section.

This would make a brilliant single

The best Taylor Swift song since the 1989 era.

Loooovedruuggggghhhh

This is very Miley Cyrus Plastic Hearts but brilliant!

That Hollaback Girl chant the beginning is a bit on the nose but as a whole it's one of my faves on the album.

The SNL performance elevated this song so much!! Also Anthony Fantano drooling over this in his reaction video lol

VIY is probably a song she'll do on piano acoustically at some point

DO YOU SEE ME DO YOU SEE ME NOW?!??! This is so pretty but still edgy enough, thanks to the amazing production.
