DC 25,164 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 So there's SO many times where people called Do What U Want an RnB song, even Gaga herself, but to me it just sounds like a mid-tempo electro pop song, what makes it RnB? Genuine question, I'm not saying it's not, I'm just curious as to what makes it an RnB song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, I'm not saying it's not, I'm just curious as to what makes it an RnB song Don't feel strange asking this question. The flow, rhythm, and groove to it gives the R&B aesthetic. The matching tempo and bass like is steady, and has a relaxing feel. That along with her breathy vocals in the pre-chorus and background. I honestly would be down to see her explore the genre more and deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 A song can be R&B and electro-pop at the same time, and I think DWUW is. Her vocals are very smooth on the song and the song just has something R&B-esque about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollardays 3,240 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Vocal flow and chord progression? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 She altered her vocals there and made it sound more RnB than her usual 'pop' voice. She doesn't usually do riffs and runs in her songs, but in DWUW she did. The chord progression is also very typical RnB. The production was just more electronic to fit ARTPOP more. Even its iconic bassline was more RnB than pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
