voidfigure 1,612 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Guys, as much as I appreciate people wanting Chromatica songs to be successful, nothing on the album is safe single material except for Stupid Love, Rain On Me, Free Woman and maybe Fun Tonight.

stevana229 1,877 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I feel like Enigma should have been Heavy Metal Lover 2.0. Enigma is one of the weakest tracks on the album tbh. The sound starts getting repetitive when Enigma comes on the tracklist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art is up for interpretation, if you aren’t getting a story from it then that’s more to do with your imagination than the art itself. Art is subjective, let it take on whatever meaning you wish. as for the filler issue, yeah that’s what I’m saying. If a song is intentionally put on then it’s not filler. Your personal opinion that a song is bad doesn’t make it a filler. To you? Yes, but in officially? No. You can feel however you want about whatever you want, could Gaga have written a better song & put it in Enigma’s place? It’s possible but it’s also possible that she chose the best out of everything she wrote for the album & put it there to complete the narrative which is most likely the case given everything she’s said about the album & it’s meaning.

YaaaasGaga 6,119 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Enigma would've been a better lead single in the UK. It's completely reminiscent of the 90's house trend that dominate the radio here and overall is a better song than Stupid Love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like a feeling that I get listening to a song or writing a song when i feel like d*mn this isn't a good song. but i can still enjoy it you know. but i know it's filler even if i still enjoy it somewhat. I think it's important to be open to art but if something isn't clicking with you that's ok. it might not be filler to you but it may be to me or vice versa.

What is safe to you might not be safe to others. For example, Fun Tonight wouldn’t be a great choice in my opinion because it talks about her personal experience with fame in such a specific way that the majority of people listening wouldn’t relate to it. When have you been in a situation where your friend or lover was using you for your fame? 😂 anyways, it’s all opinions, including yours.

HausOfAntonio 8,021 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Everyone whose listened to the album picks Enigma as a standout. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Enigma would’ve been the perfect lead. Its experimental enough to be a risk but accessible enough to be widely consumed. The chorus is just WILDLY catch and remarkable, it SCREAMS Gaga. Also if it failed she’d still have ROM to save the day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir 17,328 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 only Alice or Free Woman would've been better leads than SL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve written some really baaad songs that were just not up to par with my abilities & yeah that’s what I’m saying! 😂 I feel like this was just one big misinterpretation itself cause now that we’ve gone in depth I see what you’re saying better.

GreekGod 1,085 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Imagine the music video for Enigma with all Gaga alter-egos and personalities from each era , even one with meat dress comes together dancing playing piano singing screaming like crazy and at the last explosive chorus Chromatica Gaga comes up and the new era aesthetic is introduced in such a way! i can imagine the shock factor and headlines would truly be an enigma!

sashunya 34 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I like the song a lot. It shows a different side to Chromatica that seems to come in the last half of the album. The interludes are basically the title tracks of the era, but I was thinking about how Enigma is like a parallel theme (like how Angel Down seems to bring Joanne together in an alternate way). I think Stupid Love was more safe and vivid thematically for the lead single, and Enigma has more of a mysterious and fan favorite vibe to it.

Presto 246 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It would have been an excellent lead single. It has that anthemic quality to it that lead singles need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2NE1LG 193 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It wouldn't have worked. The pacing of the verses is too slow to hold attention on streaming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
