LG5 Test: What if IWYL was Gaga's?

[Didymus 34,379]

DISCLAIMER:

This is not to say that LG5 will be in this style of music! Rodgers' comment wasn't clear enough, but in any case, there's a big chance that the album will at least sound something like this (since Ronson). This is just 'cause I'm curious to see what the fans would think, as a sort of "test" for LG5. If this thread goes well, I might make similar threads, I think it'd be pretty fun.

Imagine a world where Chic's iconic hit I Want Your Love doesn't exist

Imagine Gaga surprise dropped her new single, I Want Your Love, co-written and co-produced by Nile Rodgers

Pretend listening to the song for the first time (use video below):

(not using the official one 'cause the images are distracting; focus on the music)

What would you think?

Would you be happy? Disappointed? Why?

I don't think that this genre can be popular again 

[Didymus 34,379]

My response:

I'd be 100% happy, proud, and amazed, not just at the vocal delivery (which is stellar) but the extreme quality of the production and its attention to detail.

And I'd think it was a perfect single choice. Songs like this become classics, a must play record for all the wedding parties you'll go to in the future, a never-ending radio hit

So pls, Gags. Pls.

Ha, I DID hear it for the first time with her singing it! I'd never heard the original!

It was a bit of a shock, and I liked it, but I was too excited for LG5 and knew it was a cover so left it. Then a few weeks later I went back to it and actually really loved it, and I play it all the time now! 

I think if it were her song, not a cover, and announced as her song, I would've eaten it up! And been surprised that I enjoyed it's unique flavour.

 

(EDIT: Although, I think her own music on LG5 will have even better, catchier hooks and stronger writing, metaphors and imagery! Which is exciting!)

I might be a little underwhelmed by the chorus, but other than that I would be thrilled.

[Miky 9,487]

I fu.cking want the song to be longer. Where tf is the second verse???

[PunkTheFunk 124,425]

I'd be here for it 

Knowing IWYL is a cover and that she didn't write it herself makes it hard for me to truly connect to this song in the way I connect to her other songs. But yeah, I wouldn't be mad if her lead single sounded like this.

[Nirvana 2,712]

I'd LOVE if this would be her lead single. And I agree it would become a huge hit.

[OMonster 14,675]

Would be so here for it. It sounds amazing and would be a hit. I love it. 

[GagaMegaFan 3,784]

It would be HUGE. I imagined that before and I think I would be SLAYED! Great disco/funky comeback lead single! GP friendly, I can imagine it's playing EVERYWHERE in the summer! You can dance to it unlike tihty  soo YEAH!

I like that it departs from the typical pop structure actually That instrumental comes to life in different ways in all of the parts. Which is why I don't mind a second verse not appearing.

Besides, more replay value this way

[Gohan 16,412]

No. Good for a jam on the album, but it's just too damn repetitive and noisy as soon as the second chorus kicks in.

Good for a radio hit since we have repetitive messes like Work and Work From Home, but not as a good quality music like Gaga's been teasing these last months

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

I would be here for it but not as a lead single. The chorus is just not that good

[lxdygxga 3,353]

I'd be more than happy. It's probably one of my favorite songs she's ever sang. The vocals, the production, the video are all amazing, and even though it's a cover of an older genre, it feels so fresh for her. If LG5 was anything like this I'd be very happy.
