Can we at least talk about how bad it sounds?

I still haven't heard it

 

I would ask someone to link it to me in PM if they have it but I I know that's against the rules so I won't but I'm dying to hear it 

Girl, it's on YouTube, I heard it there

I won't listen to the leak but I just want to know: does it sound better than Stupid Love? 

Hard to tell tho. I like SL a lot but I may end up liking Babylon even more... 

There are people who literally HATE the snippet

As you can see, the fanbase is split into two. 50% prefers SL, 50% prefers Babylon.

Well the leak is low quality so it’s hard to say, and it’s only 30s anyway. But honestly it does have potential to be better than SL. A very strut the runway kinda song. Imagine it like Vogue, Black Jesus, and the bridge of Dance In The Dark. I can see it becoming a big fan favorite.

I think Babylon is word play.

I hear Babylon as "babble on" considering the lyrics. And just look at how Twitter babbles. Sending hate as fast as possible without even hearing the full song. 

"Gossip. Babble on. Battle for your life and babble on."

No, it's Babylon. I think word plays need to be left in the past. 

The lyrics are "Battle for your life in Babylon", which means battle for your life through chaos. 

(I, by any means, am not criticizing or attacking you. Sorry if I look that stressed but since I was treated like **** in other threads for expressing my opinion I want to clarify it 😊)

The more I hear it, the more I love it!

Personally, I love both this and Stupid Love. SL is a more mainstream bop, which I can certainly appreciate, but this sounds more "Gaga" if that makes any sense. I could see this with the likes of DITD, SCHID, BJ+AF, etc. It's very "David Bowie meets Madonna" and I love that!

[Bjaf 1,336]

I love the instrumental, but I must say I’m really not a fan of the lyrics on this one, for now. But I’m gonna wait for the whole thing, because I’m sure my opinion could change once I hear the leaked bit in the context of the full song.
