Enigma as lead single?

So I'm currently obsessing over Enigma :music:

And I was wondering how it would have been if Gaga surprise-released Enigma on the first day of her Vegas residency (along with a performance)?? Think about how THIRSTY we were for ANY new music back then - how do you think it would have been received as the album's lead single? And how would it have set your expectations for Chromatica?

I dont think the gp would like enigma as lead single. I personally love Engima tho.

 

I still think rom should have been the lead single

I think it would've been Epic. I believe Enigma was the concept of the album before Chromatica, but then she decided to go the popish way with Bloodpop.

If only she decided to go more underground with Boys Noize and Sophie :enigma:

It's a bad song. I had such high hopes but I'm happy it was reduced to filler album track instead of lead single like it probably was meant to be.

EDIT: what i mean by "bad song" is that I know Gaga can do better and she did better on Chromatica I'm sure if it was one a Charli XCX album I would enjoy it a lot more.

Actually trying to figure out who this song would work well with.

BRITNEY MOTHAFING SPEARS WOULD SLAY THIS SONG

For the story line I'd really rather have Alice as the first single.

Everyone I’ve played it for really like Enigma & they’re all straight guys so I think it would’ve done great. Plus the song is relatable & has a super catchy melody with great production. I def think she should do Sour Candy as the next single though given how much attention it’s getting.

How were people so thirsty for music when she had just dropped a whole soundtrack 2 months earlier? She would not have been able to do promo for it because of ASIB. Maybe a one-off single would have worked. But even then it would have disrupted ASIB promo. Even at a different time, Enigma pushes on the boundaries of what the album as a whole sounds like and wouldn't have been a good lead single because of that.

Why are you always so negative about the songs on Chromatica? :triggered:

Enigma seems a bit like Perfect Illusion to me. I've noticed it's been the slowest grower for most people and also it's very shouty and not everybody likes that in a song. I can't see it being very popular on the radio.

I don't think that it would've been a strong lead (That should've been reserved for ROM or Replay), but definitely should've been released as a 'buzz' single and included on the album.

Chromatica doesn't have fillers though. :hor:

I feel that, I can’t really picture the opening verse playing on the radio but the chorus I can def picture.

Maybe it doesn't in terms of cohesion but in terms of good songs there are several that i don't enjoy as much as the others.

Enigma def has grown on me but still has a long way to go.
