Malibu could've been Joanne's lead single

If Gaga released Malibu with the same music video as the lead single off Joanne I think it would've been a success. 

It would've fit Gaga perfectly because she moved to Malibu in the recent years and recorded most of Joanne there. It would've been a great introduction to a personal record. Perfect Illusion is a good song, but as a single it doesn't give listeners an insight into what Joanne was all about.

What do you guys think?

Maybe.

 

But PI is just so awesome and badass.... I'm glad it exists.

I just listened to Malibu for the first time, and I really don't think I'll ever listen to it again.   It's so boring and dull.

REALITY

tbh I don't think it would have been a success. I agree, I think Malibu fits Gaga's whole Joanne album/aesthetic perfectly, but realistically, I think it would have caused more controversy than Perfect Illusion did.

Of course, now everyone seemingly loves PI, but at first it was very hit or miss, and while Malibu's a perfect song (in my eyes), it's not the "pop banger" that I think a lot of people would have expected from Gaga after a 3 year long wait from ARTPOP. 

I mean, PI was that "pop banger", yet it received many mixed reactions amongst fans.

Perfect Illusion is easily one of Gaga's best songs! :reductive:

Perfect Illusion would have felt more personal if she was just honest and said the song was about Taylor.

Bangerz was basically Miley trying to do a The Fame 2.0 (guest rappers, about money, sex and partying)

Dead Petz was basically Miley doing Born This Way 2.0 (fusing rock with electronic beats, singing about love, courage and freedom)

Malibu is basically Miley doing Joanne (roots, outdoor nature shots, stripped down aesthetic)

Oh wait I see a pattern :lolly:

There's nothing wrong with being inspired by Lady Gaga. She's Lady Gaga. I love how Miley isn't afraid to show her influences (the same way that Gaga is never afraid to show her influences e.g. Madonna, Cher, Bowie, MJ, Bette Midler)

It'd have been interesting to see "Joanne" or "Million Reasons" get released as the lead single. It definitely would've caught more people's attention to see a different side of Gaga but at the same time "Perfect Illusion" seems like the best song to transition from ARTPOP/Cheek To Cheek into the new sound, or who knows.
