rawrimamonster 1,115 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 This is a thought that I've had for a while. When she first came out with TC at Coachella it seemed to me like there would be some kind of EP or rerelease coming out soon. If she's trying to sell an album and about to do a tour for that album why else would she release a random single separate from it? BUT THEN she said it didn't make the cut when they were selecting songs from Joanne. So either she or her team determined there were other songs that were more worthy of being on Joanne. Out of the songs she originally wrote, this didn't match her vision for the album and it's been sitting around on a computer hard drive somewhere. (see my edit) And that makes sense because it sounds way different from the "Gaga goes to the Lilith Fair" vibe w/ Joanne. When TC first came out, my thought was "I like this but it sounds hella commercial." Lots of other people thought that too, labeling it "generic." It seemed like more of a business decision than a creative one- an attempt to get some radio hits. We all know she hasn't done any promotion for it. She hasn't made a music video. She doesn't seem to be excited about it at all. She has spoken publicly before about butting heads w/ management so it makes me think that maybe they forced her to make this the next single and she's just not into it because it wasn't her decision. There would have been lots of other singles she could have released from Joanne- JW, DIC, DH, AYO. If she wanted to promote the album rather than get a random cash grab for a radio single, that would have been the way to go in my opinion. And I suspect that's what she really wanted to do. What do y'all think? Edit: So in looking at the interviews w/ DJWS it looks like it wasn't necessarily written/finished before Joanne was out and my statement that she said "it didn't make the cut" was wrong. I haven't found any interviews where she talked about the writing process herself. My basic point is, I think it was a commercial decision to release it and Gaga isn't into it right now. That's my perception/opinion, but if you have other ideas you can chime in below. Keep it nice, hunties :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

15jocart 2,305 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 You're assuming that The Cure was written before Joanne, which is not proven Been a long time but I'm back in town, and this time I'm not leaving without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 At the end of the day I just feel like TC was a wasted single. Not that it was a bad song, but the song really did deserve more promo. Could you imagine if it were the lead for Joanne? It would've slayed. The fact that the song did as well as it has so far without any promo or a video says a lot. Maybe Gaga and team will take note and go back to that type of sound for LG6? I know it's music not the bling, but Gaga could use some chart acclaim along with all the other successes she's been getting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,240 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Cure is likely from the ASIB writing sessions. A lot of fans that were extras in the movie said there's a song she performs that sounds like a sexier, souped up version of The Cure. An EP for The Cure was likely never the goal. I also feel like radio was going to straight up ignore anything else from Joanne. The Cure blends in better with what's on radio, and has been able to sustain itself - I feel like Gaga probably knew this and purposely released it to give herself a little more momentum for the tour, and to bolster her chances of (possibly) getting more of a chance at airplay for another Joanne single later on.
