calmar 22,062 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Based just off of my initial reactions to both songs (since I recall both) - With Perfect Illusion, I was immediately dancing in my seat and enjoying it with a wide smile on my face. It wasn't true bubblegum pop, or the kind of stuff which had been on the radio. It was an uptempo, temperamental disco-rock song, and I appreciated that. I thought it was not really that Gaga, and I had some (later valid) trepidation about its possible performance as a single, but I enjoyed the new direction. With The Cure (as new as it is), when I learned it was to be a single for commercial consumption, I immediately felt less excitement and even disappointment. It has obvious dancehall influences and sounds more like her 2007-8 work - an ARTPOP/Fame b-side revamped for 2017. While I enjoyed the song mostly for the novelty and unexpected debut, musically I thought it was cute but not great, and appropriate for a one-off or fan-oriented cherry on top of the Coachella performance. I'd rather have had a new Joanne single. 俺の勝利は揺るぎない Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VasilisVas 5,164 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The Cure is cute, but Perfect Illusion is amazing. Perfect illusion left me with this high rush energy after the first time i heard it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cure is a mellow pop bop that is catchy and fun, but can come off as "generic and manufactured" because it plays on current tropical house trends. which do you think would have been a better lead and why? you should create a poll between DIC and the Cure!
