Delulu Rogers 7,251 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I just listened to the full album and MY GOD, not only does Babylon slap as a song and an album closer (much better than the demo), but it's genius how she combined the double meaning with its name in reference to the ancient city but also to gossip. It's so creative and bold and so gaga. This song literally sounds like a new club anthem and I can already imagine what a video would look like. Definitely top 5 from the album next to ROM, SFA, 911 and fun tonight. I hope it becomes a single. I can already imagine the tiktoks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Babylon is the one song on the album that I had to replay over and over and over because it was that brilliant. I’m still not over it. So f*cking good!!!! This is how you do a 90s throwback sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Married the Night 3,955 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I feel like people will just say it sounds like Vogue. But I think it makes it even better. She is basically saying bring it on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikah 145 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The play on words remind me of ManIcure. I love it when she does that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
austincola 805 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 It’s not what I was expecting at all. I kinda miss the old leaked demo/Haus Labs version. But don’t come for me, this new version is a grower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalguru 1,553 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Effing agreeing with you. This version gives you a sense of closure. Amazing song. Much better than obvious pastiche of demo version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeldeFaith 5,495 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The fact that it's less than 3 mins long and not 10 hours is a crime but It's the perfect closer the album. It leaves you wanting more so you have to replay the album. I love it!!! Can I vanish into a cheeseburger pizza? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalguru 1,553 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Also, thank you for calling Babylon masterpiece. I am bit scared that obsessive bottoms will keep bringing "but the demooo'" argument endlessly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubi 1,126 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 It's EXCELLENT. It just transports me. they call me angela vidal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbr 421 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 ‘Babylon’ is really really good and one of her biggest bops in a long time - also the buzz about this song was insane. The reference to ‘Vogue’ and ‘Fashion’ by David Bowie got me wigless! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRCF29 8,202 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I was torn at first listen due to the “gossip, gossip” but upon SECOND listen, I can confirm I’m serving it ancient city style at all times from now on. This is going to go so hard live! And what a closer. Ugh, she slayed me good Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatica Island 8,517 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Love the song as an album closer, but 911 along with alice are the best songs on the album! Any/All Pronouns, Genderfluid🏳⚧ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
