'Chromatica' Discussion - ACT I

[chromatica94 539]

Do we think there will be any more UK dates coming? I'm hoping she does the Etihad stadium in Manchester, London is a lil' long way from where I live (Liverpool) & also I've never seen Gaga live so fingers crossed

I heard tracklist is coming early May 

So let's hope 

So the week after the remix EP would be dropped. I'm hopeful again from bouncing from ATRL to here to what seems like the era picking up again right after the WHO benefit and all 

[BabylonHooker 4,305]

so if the theory of 8 Hauses, each Haus will have 2 songs is real, which songs belong to which Haus?
Stupid Love is from Kindness Punks
Rain On Me is from Spirituals
Free Woman is from Freedom Fighters
I think Babylon is also from Freedom Fighters because of the lyrics "battle for your life...babble on...", it's like battle for your freedom.

Can we talk about one thing?

Why oh why are they waiting so long to release these remixes? Remixes usually only make a minor impact, not even all the fans listen to them. And you all know that Stupid Love got extremely bad radio callout scores on radio 2 days ago. So it getting a remix that doesn't use the horn and is therefore less abrasive to radio listeners would be a very good thing. But not 3 weeks from now when radio already dropped the song...but like, right now. As soon as possible. I feel like it will be too little too late to breathe new life into SL 3 weeks from now unless she also does some other things.

Remixes aren't for radio or general listening. Primarily they benefit club scenes and DJs because they offer a way to work popular songs into sets and perform them mixed well with other songs. So there's financial benefit for that reason, plus in this day any streams or purchases of remixes still count towards the song over all. So if someone goes and listens to Stupid Love and then 4 remixes of it, it's 5 streams for Stupid Love. They also work great for use as bonus tracks later on to promote other editions of an album. So really there's MANY reasons for remixes.

at this point I'll be happy if she just posts a video of herself breathing to the beat of a song.

In some cases songs get changed to remixes on radios, for example All Of Me received a pop mix so radio would be more willing to play it because they didn't really want to touch a slow ballad like that. I thought if they did a more GP friendly remix they could send that to radios so they can play that instead of the original version.

But I see that is not what they are going for then.

Maybe because it's part of album promo and she's not doing album promo right now. That's the only reason I think that not even single remixes are happening right now, but mainly because they do only benefit DJs 😂

Babylon is probably for Eco Warriors

How reliable is @Stef?

I’m not saying they aren’t. I just don’t want to get too hyped

All I could find was from https://forum.popjustice.com/threads/lady-gaga-born-this-way-album.16626/page-555

Scheisse starts acapella then turns into a dance song

Marry the Night is similiar to The Edge of Glory

Fashion of his Love was written after McQueen’s Death

Scheisse and Government Hooker are slower than the snippets we’ve heard

Hair and Bad Kids are slower and less rebellious than expected

A lot of them raved about Heavy Metal Lover and Electric Chapel

She didn’t play the final version of You and I

Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) is a slow song

Bloody Mary is different to anything she’s ever done

Black Jesus + Amen Fashion “Jesus is the new black”

Government Hooker “I can be sex, I can be more”

Bad Kids “I’m still Beautiful and Dirty Rich, your sick nasty dirty bitch”

The Queen “Tonight I will return all the fame and riches earned, with you I’d watch them all be burned”

Hair “I am my hair, I am my hair, it’s all the glory that I bare”

Bloody Mary "I wont cry for you, I won't crucify the things you do, I won't cry for you see, when you're gone, I'll still be Bloody Mary"

Bad Kids "In my meat dress I've got guns, up under my thumbs, manicure is slick, you mad that my tips longer than your ****"

So Bad Kids sounds like it was a lot different!

 

WOW! That felt like stepping into a time machine! I'm going to read that whole thread now  thank you!

It's such an interesting thing to notice that though we look on those eras fondly, people were being AS negative if not more than we are today about little silly things...

Hey. It’s a lot more exciting than what we have right now 

(But I was more so referring to the fact that they said era will begin pretty quickly from then on)
