ChaosVampire 95 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Omg this demo uses exactly the same melody as Applause. Abroad is an reject from 2008 album Circus (fir which Gaga wrote ballad Quicksand and her later hit Telephone which was rejected from the album too) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei 61,110 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 it reminds me more of PI (the melody) Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 49,376 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's mainly the bassline and melody of the synth that's the same. Can happen in pop music a lot actually, since pop songs always use a pattern of a specific chord progression and that would be like... the default (?) melody/bassline of a pop song written in minor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I hear Perfect Illusion when it's building up to the key change when Gaga sings "yeah at least now i know" in the intro of Abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMonster 14,675 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's a mix of Applause and Perfect Illusion. I wonder if Gaga had any input into the instrumental... maybe it was a reject. Or maybe she came across it years later. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxe Ford 3,481 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I hear it, but I hear PI as well. I can't prep to the exact moment but the keyboard riff at 3:53 sound excactly like the one in "I Want Your Love". Excuse me for rudely butting in. What happens in Luxe Ford stays in Luxe Ford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiria 10,683 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Well it's more the chord progression/bass line that's the same rather than the melody but yeah I totally hear it. Pretty interesting, would be cool if it turned out Gaga did write this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Child 18,997 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Lmao I’ve known this song for years and I don’t hear any Applause similarities. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFDMQ 3,397 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 for those who cant hear it, you guys need to stream applause more play this at 1.25 speed from 0:00 to 0:14 and then play this starts at 2:44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombiecat 16,592 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's a common chord progression and it's not even exactly the same here https://linktr.ee/jamalholt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
