Lana has some more refinement but oftentimes gets repetitive. Lorde eats both of them up for breakfast. Florence drags them through the mud.

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 They’re both similar in their subject matter (relationships, relationships and relationships) but I find myself more drawn to Taylor’s style of songwriter. It feels more honest, raw, uncertain, tender and uncomfortable at times. Lana is style over substance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I’m basing this off of solo written tracks (Gaga has 3 released). It’s kinda hard to judge songs that are co-written because you never know who did what. When the ARTPOP legal documents leaked most songs were 50% or under for Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioactive 2,139 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 i don’t get the hype around taylor’s lyrics, i mean they’re cute but y’all act like she’s the next edgar allan poe or sumn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkill 5,152 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 personally i think Taylor is too mainstream and the GP can relate to it without having some type of background. as when it comes to Lana, i think her lyric have a bit more conceptual depthness to it, way more cinematic and sets the whole picture without being so straightforward. but that's just my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativenewyorker 1,190 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 They’re different. If you’re talking commercially more successful, Taylor. But that’s because she caters to pop. Lana is in a different lane. They’re not the same. Good in different ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what she’s explained of her process, she’ll have most of the actual lyrics written and credit anyone who chips in or suggests a different melody/harmony.
