OMonster 14,213 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this interpretation makes no sense to me. Why compare Gaga to current music trends? Is that really what some of you want from her? If you look at what's 'in' at the moment - chart hits are either urban or 'whisper pop'. If Gaga doesn't sound current it's because she isn't pandering to minimalism, which she should never do. Spoiler I think she tried it with The Cure, and - in my opinion - it was so mainstream and so un-Gaga that it could've been released by any other artist. Gaga is a classic pop star. She SINGS and she's bold and she's brash. Even with ASIB, she SANG. And perhaps, in today's music scene, that style might be described as 'dated' - but it isn't. It's just something that is no longer prevalent on the charts - it's a totally timeless style, though; it's true, vocally-powered pop music... and the world has been missing that for a long, long time. I mean, which artists really sing on their tracks anymore? Even Ariana stopped with the impressive notes, and is now drowned out by 'modern' production. Personally, I'd rather 'dated' if 'dated' means boldness, energy and excitement - not whispery minimalism. I, also, kind of question how a typical Gaga track couldn't be 'dated' - by some people's definitions of that cliche, not mine - and yet still be a Gaga track you all love. Because, if by dated you mean Gaga's typical style; the style she's famous for and is so great at - how couldn't a big pop banger not be dated when pop bangers are no longer 'on-trend'? Gaga's sound, right from the very start, was 'dated' by that measure. Spoiler When she re-introduced 'classic' pop music to radio with The Fame, I mean. At the end of the day, Gaga is a 33-year-old pop superstar who shouldn't converge her style to current trends. She should evolve her sound (which she has always done) - but releasing a chart-chasing, whispery pop-trap record is *so* beneath her imo. /rantover, lol. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I donât think it sounds dated at all. It sounds like itâs challenging 80s but with a modern twist. It has the nostalgic feel to it but you can just tell that itâs new. Something that Dua Lipa is doing rn. It perfectly fits the 2019/20 nostalgia aesthetic thatâs been pretty popular. Also to those saying (still) that this is from BTW era thereâs a part in song (that didnât leak yet) where she sings âall I ever wanted was loveâ before the last chorus and you can just tell that itâs her strong voice from 18-19. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayCristoforo 10,223 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think it sounds classic. Toxic, Thriller, Believe... Those are all huge pop songs that are arguably dated. But we still go offfff for those hits. Because they sound classic. And interestingly, they all sound different from each other. I think Stupid Love has that potential. Itâs fun and different and refreshing. Her vocals also blow away the competition, so itâs on another level already. Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

Do you know for sure if that's just a demo or the actual thing (unless they're changing it rn ofc)? And you've heard it cuz people have had it since a year right? Cuz it was meant to be released last may? I'm just SUPER curious Colourful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHALLOW 14,815 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It sounds dated cause it sounds so much like BTW which is 9 years old.I think weâre gonna hear newer elements in the instrumentals once we hear it in HQ tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I do get why it sounds dated to some. To me it reminds me of Eurodance which was huge in the nineties. But it also sounds like it would be a breath of fresh air on the radio. I feel like we need something like this back in the charts to liven it up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmo 76,622 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It sounds dated because is a recording not the actual song... Wait for the real deal before criticizing something that isnât even officially out yet Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality 65,741 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It sounds like a modern pop song, but with a Gaga spin to it...like most of her songs. Maybe it sounds "dated" to people because there are some 80s influences in it? That's what I hear at least. Either way, we won't really know until if/when she releases it. I'm just happy to get any new music tbh. They're probably the same people that begged Gaga to go back to pure pop/dance pop after Joanne and ASIB. Now it seems like she's doing that, and they're complaining about it? Okay... Besides, I feel like these are also the same people that literally complain about everything/anything. Everytime something negative comes out about Gaga (in particular, her music), it's always like the same 5 people. A very vocal minority đđ€đč Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i heard, they ainât that good, i hope the rest of the song is better lyrically. Just cause itâs fun doesnât mean lyrics ainât gotta be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGMonster95 13,704 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Gaga is not making her albums/songs based on what's on current trends in music, she does them based on what direction she feels like she wants to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei 59,929 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Everyone with their "dated" crap needs to just gtfo because if she did what was on trend it would be the same people saying "I'm sad she's adapting to trends" or "I miss her old sound" Why does it F*cking matter? Just take it for what it is or leave it. Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope thereâs balance between fun and meaningful lyrics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
