Quark 7,018 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 o<(0_0)>oAs you all know DWUW, released back in 2013, sounded very fresh on the radio primarily because of its 80s baseline sound. The GP had not heard such a baseline on mainstream radio for a while. But now with songs like Style by Taylor Swift, and many others, this type of sound seems to be one of the big trends. So do you think DWUW caused some sort of influence on these songs? Could this be considered a DWUW Effect? Or is it just a coincidence, and Gaga was simply ahead of her time?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I've been thinking about this for a while. idk if DWYW started it, but it definitely was one of the starting ones.Jealous, Nick JonasStyle, Taylor SwiftLove Me Harder, Ariana Grande 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni Versace 2,987 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The vintage, RnB sound was already popular in 2013, though. DWUW was basically Gaga's version of Get Lucky and Blurred Lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koreku 2,387 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ahead of her time as usual.   Jealous by nick jonas is also like this. You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWUW was basically Gaga's version of Get Lucky and Blurred Lines. DWUW may be R&Bish, but it sounds nothing like those two songssongs (Those songs are not even R&B, they are more funk). They also don't have that 80s baseline that I am talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 44,059 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 its hard to say that it was DWYW that helped start it... truth is, changes in trends are usually influenced by multiple factors. People like to point to this or that but theres usually a lot more to it...  it may have had an influence who knows...  but considering it wasnt a massive hit (it was a normal hit), it didnt have a released video, didnt have huge longevity...  I dont see how that song alone would of created a trend. at best it had minor influence  Tbh, i could of pictured Taylor Swift releasing a song like "style" on a pop album regardless of any influence tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 44,059 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It was a big radio hit in the U.S. And many artists pay attention to Gaga just because she is Gaga. ​it was a big hit but not a mega hit... now sure, artists pay attention to Gaga... but the hit wasnt massive enough or impactful for artists to wanna purposely copy i dont think  What was it about it that would make artists think it was like a new trend? Gaga has released a wide variety of styles and tempos, the odds that at least 1 of those styles would by coincidence pick up is not that low, it doesnt mean she caused it  Fans like to overthink... its like in TF era... they like to say she started electro-pop... i say yes and no...  I think she solidified it cause her impact was huge and she had an influence... but based on hits that came out shortly before Gaga, like hits from Cascada, William, Britney Spears etc... radio was already beggining a transition to more dancy upbeat and electronic type music even before Gaga came out... the only thing Gaga did was speed up the evolution  In this case with DWYW the impact was not half as large aas she was during TF era, it was just 1 song, and i see no real reason to assume its impact was that big tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
