nathantj594 901 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 http://www.theweek.co.uk/music/54592/lady-gaga-leaked-applause-single-attracts-mixed-reviews Just reading through some nostalgia from around the same time as now, three years ago. One line struck me in particular: Applause "offers few reasons to clap", says Marc Hogan in Spin. Gaga's lyrics "are as head-scratching as ever", and the electronic pop is a strange choice at a time when artists are returning to '70s-inflected guitars." Like wowzers. I've been a firm believer that Gaga brought EDM back to the mainstream pop world with TF and continued riding on that wave into the present day. This line is a huge foreshadowing of what was hitherto become of pop music from then until up to this point in time. Everything that isn't a ballad (or even some of them!) has an EDM backtrack now. Some of the most popular pop musicians are EDM DJs these days. I honestly believe Gaga brought the genre back into the mainstream when it died back in the early 90s. It was interesting to read that line seeing as how electronic pop rules the roost nowadays. And Paula Abdul ain’t got [BLEEP] on me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to see what Katy and Christina are going to do next tbh. A lot of people didn't appreciate what TF did for the industry back in 2008, and who knows, maybe the "stream of consciousness, raw emotion, no holds barred" type of pop music will be the next to go mainstream And Paula Abdul ain’t got [BLEEP] on me!

ZiggyZiggs 30,062 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Gaga actually did bring dark EDM to mainstream music and is probably one of the 1st artists to be critically acclaimed for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
