Chromatica Act II: What would you prefer?

[BlackCrown 1,794]

I saw someone posting about multiple alternative versions featuring Hana, and I'd be heeeere for that, she's so talented 

 

But considering that the production on this album is already out of this world and one of the best Gaga ever had, it's hard to imagine an album with the same song and different productions

Honestly, I wouldn't mind an album filled with alternate productions of the same songs. That would be unprecedented in pop culture history (has any other artist done that?)

I mean, technically it's still new music 

Or maybe she could mix both, brand new songs and alternate productions. Now that would be sick

Why can't we have both? Like, having half alternate version half new songs 

Totally! That would be the best thing 

I should have added a third option "both" tbh 

I tried editing my OP to add a third option to the poll but I'm afraid the votes will get lost because it doesn't show the two current choices while editing wtf

I mean, we could have both and I'd be totally fine with that.  

I'd only fear the countless number of threads that'd be like "AcT iI iS bEtTeR tHaN tHe OriGiNaL," "WhY dIdN't ShE rElEeAsE tHiS vErSiOn oF ChRoMaTiCa," "AcT iI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ChRoMaTiCa"

You know, it's so interesting. Now that Bloodpop said it and we know that two different versions exist for Babylon, what if these are also some actual versions of the songs and not "demos" as we've been thinking all this time? Who knows what she has planned for this era?

I mean, demos still sound very similar production-wise to the final product right? But all these sound quite different from the final studio versions that we have

Or maybe I'm just overthinking this and these are in fact, just demos 

I just want FW the way we heard it, properly mixed and mastered, she can burn the rest of her recorded songs idc

That could be a real possibility. I kinda hope so, because if I'm being totally honest, cause all of these sound great. Even though I loooooooove Chromatica—I still consider it to be her best album—I do wish that overall the sound of the album was more similar to the demos. 

That said, I feel like if there are going to be "multiple versions," then they all have to be distinct enough for them ("them" meaning Gaga, BloodPop, etc.) to feel like they should be released. The Babylon demo vs. the Babylon final version is a perfect example of that. They practically sound nothing like each other, so I think it makes sense for them to release two version of that song because it's almost like two different songs.

With ROM and FW specifically, they are different, yes, but I think they're also similar enough to the final tracks where I don't think that if Gaga is going to release new versions of those songs, it would be like the demos. 

SL is a little bit of a different story because the old snippet is only like 10 seconds long. That isn't enough to tell if it's truly a different song. 

[sillynate 6,170]

I voted for same songs different producers because of Babylon and SL demo snippets but I think a mix of the two would be nice especially because that one thread about the hackers who had demos with Kesha, HANA (I think?) Grimes, Ty Dolla $ign, and Bappi Lahiri

[Bling 31,385]

Whatever it is, I hope it's released soon. 

The Weeknd released remixes/alternative versions of songs from After Hours very shortly after the album was released and I think this was the wisest choice, so people dont lose interest. 

But there's so much going on politically and throughout the world, I doubt anything will come soon. Which is totally ok.

Someone filtered a practically studio acapella and you can hear different production to the final song. Tons of cowbell and percussion reminiscent of Born This Way imo. Listen with headphones from 1:00 on.

Plus, from this demo snippet we can clearly hear the instrumental on the chorus and verses in the demo snippet and while similar in its structuring the production choices are quite a difference to the final song - and seeing how the final instrumental of the song really only has those two sections plus the pre chorus for it's instrumental, it's safe to say it's pretty different for the rest of the song as well.

Chromatica: Wonderland Edition

5-8 more songs.

Nothing that sounds like it was meant for ASIB (“love me right” thats for you).

haus labs version of Babylon

sophie and Boys Noize please. 

[Lord Axel 824]

I honestly think BloodPop is hyping up these so-called alternate versions too much, this whole thing is gonna end up just like ARTPOP Act II tbh 

(But I voted for all new songs )

This is a really good idea! I could listen to GaGa sing anything in any style tbh so piano or acoustic versions of some of these would be cool

except Hey Girl

[LordByron28 1,061]

Hasnt she released a Remix album for the majority of her albums? I could see them releasing a remix album that has these different versions.

[TheSlash 14,539]

Yesterday I listened to Love Me Right all day, and I have to say it sounds like an excerpt from a completely different album rather than a song cut out of the standard edition.

So I hope we get ACT II. I wouldn't even care if these were mostly reimagined Chromatica songs instead of new songs - I just want an ACT II .
