oh hey an actual legit banger! I suddenly have hope for this thing again.

it's almost as if born this way and "applause" weren't as bad as people said
― katherine, Monday, 21 October 2013 19:33 (twelve years ago)
As a fan of Born This Way and an appreciator (not necessarily liker) of "Applause," it seems clear to me that this is her best single in eons.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 21 October 2013 19:45 (twelve years ago)
yeah i'm fine with both BTW and "applause" but this is that level of special that she hasn't reached on a single since...man, "telephone"
puts every other 80s-filtered amateur r&b chancer around to shame
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 October 2013 20:13 (twelve years ago)
for me i feel like...it's a different style, but the kind of lighters-in-the-air sincerity gaga aimed for, and perhaps hit a little too squarely on the nose, with "edge of glory" and "you & i", she's finally perfected here

And all it took was R. Kelly.

I got called away before it got to his part but not even the idea of "feat. R. Kelly" is dissuading me from this song after hearing the first minute
getting to his verse now and yes, this is no-qualifiers great
― Bitch Fantastic (DJP), Monday, 21 October 2013 20:17 (twelve years ago)
I love that his glory note is the word "fuck".
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 21 October 2013 20:18 (twelve years ago)
yeah kellz' verse is magnificent and so melodically rich but gaga sold it long before it got to him
it's VERY peak terius imo
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 October 2013 20:19 (twelve years ago)
how much do i love her just GIVING INTO a song for once!

xp that's something I'd never accuse her of not doing, like, at any point ever

beat reminds me of ciara's "overdose"
― J0rdan S., Monday, 21 October 2013 20:32 (twelve years ago)
This is pretty good, and, yeah, it does evoke "Overdose."
She's good when her voice comfortably nestles into a midrange, a bit like Madonna singing "Angel."

snippets of the title track and a song called "G.U.Y." for anyone who cares about snippets:

― Greer, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 01:01 (twelve years ago)
the "Applause" snippet so fully ruined me for the song that i'm not even clicking
― deez so unusual (some dude), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 11:45 (twelve years ago)
nah it was a perfect distillation, everything else about the track is a lie
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 11:51 (twelve years ago)
if you click on the "G.U.Y." snippet you get to hear her say "love love me / please retweet" in the first two seconds

It sounds like it's half-finished. Between this and that point on "Do What U Want" where Kells' voice drops out seemingly by accident... is the "art" part going to be a process piece on how making a pop album is super-intricate or something?
