Venus Warhol 268 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I didnāt listened to the demo leak before the album was released and now when I have listened to the official one many times and went to youtube to compare the demo version to see what the fuss was all about I canāt understand how some can prefer the demoĀ like someone else said.. I think the reason why people like the demo more is because they listened to it first and became used to it. Just like I did with the official. With that said.. the official sounds more finished, clear and not all over the place. Ā great song!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bradley 1,638 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I honestly think that Free Woman is one of Gagaās worst songsĀ Ā that generic dance break that weāve heard from Jess Glynne 100 times before is just awful. The break is so awfully generic and sounds like TV advert music lmao. The verses are killer and the song could have been incredible, itās just a shame they watered it down so much for the final versionĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 65,741 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Just now, catsandlabneh said: I meant the productions doesn't fit the lyrical content on the album. The demo's production makes it much more powerful.Ā I think that the demo was just more attuned to the 90s house influences. I wouldnāt necessarily say that theyāre more powerful.Ā šš¤š¹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioIsOurs 13,691 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The album version sounds like Kygo radio filler omgĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Warhol 268 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 One of the best parts in the official one isnāt in the demo either..Ā We own the downtown, HEAR OUR SOUND!!!Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk 526 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I think they're both great in their own right. I didn't listen to the FW demo before so I guess I'm more *open* to both versions. I prefer the prechorus production in the album version and the free free free part in the demo. Either way it's top 3 for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrard174 508 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Demo has some highlights which is absent from officia 1) electric devotion 2) bridge (repeating chorus 2x near end is repeatitive without a bridge to separate them) Other than that, the official version >> Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbHawker 6,208 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The Demo Version is more to my liking than the Album Version. I prefer the slow, pulsating disco beat in the Demo to the direction they took with the song in the end. I donāt like what they did to her vocal in the Album Version either. FW is in my bottom 3 songs in Chromatica..Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboboy 3,292 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 the final version has good vocal production and it sounds slick and smooth - so I like it more. I don't think any of us are in any position to judge a song based on it's demo versions which there are many of and we weren't even supposed to hear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brecht 7 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I think there are good things and bad things about both of them. Demo: I like the beat but itās very one-tone, itās basically the same beat throughout the whole song. The original version is more dynamic and diverse. I LOVE the bridge. Original: I like the piano on the first chorus. I like that in the last chorus the āIām a free womaaaaanā interpolates with the chorus.Ā I HATE the break after the first chorus. Sounds like royalty free music on those rupaul elimination order vĆdeos on YouTubeĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingersPrayer 555 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 This is the first time I'm looking for demos - is this the Free Woman demo you're all talking about? Ā I love Free Woman on the LP but I have to say, this 90s production is fire. Love it. It has a Vogue quality to it so I can imagine that may have been a discussion - esp due to Babylon sound. BUUUT I wonder if she would plan to release this version as a single. That would be a way to keep interest in the project - in 6 months if she dropped a this as a single mix?!

Stefanotta 121 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Demo - 80s party bass original - feels like a remix not the original song despite of hearing the demo first The original feels like Armin van Buuren song. biggest dissapointment from the Cromatica universe 'Cause we are all our hair...

Bloody hooker 6,445 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Same, but the bridge is good. I donāt get why everyone says that the end in the demo is repetitive. She does the same thing in the final version, but covers it by singing Ā āIām not nothing...ā. This fan base at some point has always preferred a demo to the final. Most notability ARTPOP (song), Sexxx Dreams, and Manicure. This isnāt something new.

GagaSkeletonWay 2,021 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I'm definitely replacing itĀ So unfair that what could've been one of my faves turned out to be the most basic on the album. The verses flow better in the new version imo but everything else is just bad, especially that first, empty and boring drop. Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
