I do think SL is a perfectly calculated sound to announce and prepare for her pop comeback, the next single should be more adventurous (Babylon sound fresh as ****)! I think we are all going to be quaking in our boots when there are several songs on the album that are 100x better single choices than what we've heard of Babylon... The beat is cool.. the lyrics are semi-catchy.. but not single worthy imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevana229 1,871 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 SL is her most generic song since The Cure (which is even more generic) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Ga Ga 5,671 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Don’t kill me but I think she might give it the focus ariana Grande treatment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crybrowz 3,247 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Generic? No. In the sense that it doesn't sound like most of the songs on the top 40 radio. Basic? Yes. In the sense that lyrically and melodically the song is quite bland, especially for a lead single, and if any other pop girl released it 90% of you would be dragging it.

Hybrid AT 78 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 It's not generic. Nothing Gaga does is generic. The closest she has come to generic is The Cure but that's because it was a ASIB reject. Everything that she does is fresh. She creates trends, not follows them. That being said, SL just feels...lacking. It doesn't have a signature, big Gaga chorus. And the lyrics are simple. "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends. They are my family, this is my home and you are not welcome here." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thwack 762 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes. For her. Honestly it sounds like an AI was asked to write Gaga a song after processing all of her music, interviews, movie, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widows Kiss 7,818 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes. lazy, basic, bland, generic, uninspired, lifeless, empty, dull, soulless, a shadow of her former self I know that the album will be much better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 7,095 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I would say to an extent yes it is, but mainly due to the boring and basic lyrics. PI had better lyrics Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
March34th 1,973 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 it's pop but with techno/disco/funk influences. It's mainstream but it's Gaga, Gaga is very experiemental in what she does. Stupid Love appears to be a mainstream generic vibe on the surface but it is so much more than that to Gaga and that's what makes it different imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was something "amazing" in 2008, but now it's old and tired; like most of The Fame tbh Agree a whole lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
