holy scheisse 22,260 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Interesting how both the song structures you listed have equal number of parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erotic4 557 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I think it's amazing her doing things differently, we are so used to the pattern and don't appreciate another structures. https://www.last.fm/pt/user/erotic4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to the ending which sounds like a post chorus, basically gaga made that as outro the verses dont have the same melody / structure (usually they mirror each other) also, the chorus at first sounds like a pre chorus, then the beat drop, at the end both the beat drop and the prechorus are juxtaposed to sound like a chorus. also the last chorus is modified and longer.

Cause second verse was Ari In the leaked solo demo, second verse has same melody as per first verse. Most of the times collab artist adds their own touch to the sound, hence a different verse is normal. The prechorus is brilliant though. I do agree that the 3 choruses (including the drop) of ROM sounds different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficent 6 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Tbh the biggest disappoint for me was that Alice didnt start of slow. I wish she had started with a darker more subdued beat coming in after the strings and the very first lines of the album should've been "Could you pull me out of this alive" (instead of jumping into the chorus from the first second) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
INNA 3,692 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 We don’t need music to be formulaic all the time to enjoy it for what it is! I really enjoy how she switched it up for Chromatica with different song structures, the fade ins and all the unique embellishments that make it less predictable. fragment-fragment--bul-uh...scab-uh..fragment-foot, bullet fragment foot bich!

Miel 15,009 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I view Alice, along with Sour Candy, as almost interlude-ish. It sounds a lot better that way. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavymlover 340 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Didn't the producers say in that recent interview how they really wanted to structure the album like an electronic album rather than a pop album? More than any of her previous albums, I feel like one of Chromatica's main characteristics is that it has some unusual structures. That and the fact that the label probably asked them to keep it short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatica 13,690 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I want a full bridge with that pre chorus. A dark voice singing "OH MA MAMA OH MA MAMA!! OH MA MOTHER OH MA MOTHER" Why the f- didn't they repeat that AMAZING pre-chorus? I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

I really enjoy how she switched it up for Chromatica with different song structures, the fade ins and all the unique embellishments that make it less predictable. If that! I mean I really don't mind the structure of the songs, if the only reason behind that is Gaga's will to give us something less similar to the usual to-go pop albums. But after hearing the full demo of ROM and Free Woman, I feel like she shortened the songs for whatever reason (stream-value)? If that's the case then I want the full Chromatica experience I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
