ladygaga1984 175 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You must be kidding. The demo was a hot mess. The album version has polished the song and made it sound sooooo much better. It is due to become one of Gaga’s most memorable and iconic songs. The production is crisp and great. I think this is what happens when you listen to a leak non stop. You become so used to the sound of a song, that when the final version comes out your brain just can’t connect with the new version the same way. This happened to me with a Madonna leak that I listened non stop and when the final version came out I just couldn’t make myself to like it. So key lesson for you is - don’t listen to leaks non-stop in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy 3,826 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 FInal Version is so much better and cohesive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordgagx 5,383 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The demo was bland in my opinion. The final is much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godmatica 2,007 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 100% agree. The melody sounds very generic and basic. It feels like I've heard it 100 times before in other songs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A R T P O P 509 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The demo didn't really do it for me. It sounded discordant and unfinished. The final version fits with the rest of the album so much better tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album version really doesn't make sense to me at all with the lyrical content. The lyrics are the exact same....what are you talking about? She only cut out one line from the demo. Other than that, they’re the exact same. 🃏🖤👹 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatfoxyfeeling 11,963 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I like both versions, album version is just more coherent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demo or final there's nothing about the production that is all that memorable. I do agree the final version has more focus - but they are both messes. The final has production that uses that awful synth so prominently in the first half of the song and makes it sound like a very amateur FL studio production. Then on the other hand you have much more stripped production in the demo with a less bright sound sounding instrumental - but you also have the lack of focus in its structure. They're both just "meh" for her standard and compared to everything else on the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzox 552 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 i honestly kinda forgot how the leaked version of free woman sounds. so im okay with the album version. but if we're talking about babylon however..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agunimon 20,167 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I don’t understand the obsession for the Free Woman demo some of you guys have. 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Matt 4,946 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The only aspect the demo prevails the final in is the “Be free free free” bridge. Keeping that could have elevated the final version even more, but overall the final is still better to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magui 2,600 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Guess it depends on people's taste. I listen the album version and since many were talking about the demo, I decided to listen it too... I personally like the official version more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids, my friends and my whole family absolutely love Free Woman. I think it could be a huge hit for Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
