Charmz 3,455 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Lots of folks on twitter and TikTok making the Gaga comparisons. Lots of love for the song too! Gaga has dominated dance in the last 10 or more years in our collective consciousness, it’s not hard to draw a comparison when Beyoncé’s new song really does have those same house/90’s/ballroom elements that distinguish Chromatica from Gaga’s earlier work. The song is fun, the Gaga comparison is fair. Move on. Always & Forever, 🧚🏻♂️🦉CHARMZ🦉🧚🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga is not the only person who has made a house inspired album, and she certainly didn't make a deep house record like this song is. This is a genre that has been wrestled away from the community that created it, just as rock n roll was. Now a prominent artist of that community is coming to claim it back as much as she can and to chalk that up to her following the lead of another artist really minimizes that. I doubt seriously she is taking a cue from Chromatica, especially considering that the only 2 songs from Chromatica that found true success are the least house oriented tracks on the album. She has clearly chosen this genre because she cares about the history of it and the context it now has given what has happened in the US in the last few years. Her sampling other prominent names of the black community who have been working hard in this space is not an accident. And let’s also call it what it is…she’s done every other genre basically at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the elements from Chromatica were taken from old school house music, which came from black queer artists in that scene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstertoronto 7,552 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 That beat really sounds a bit like “Show me Love” that Charli sampled. It’s an okay song but it’s very repetitive. Maybe it will grow on me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait for the album though. I immediately thought Sia wrote it cuz of that line checkout my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iGoXYpXnIfLHH1o7H9lxA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not rude or demeaning to her or her true inspiration. In the past two years there have been dance albums released that were popular and dominant on the charts. That will change your perspective on where you think your fans want to go with your music. If you want them dancing in the clubs, you have to make records for the clubs. Now, it is stupid is to say she was directly inspired by Gaga, Dua, or anyone else recently. Do I think she’s following a trend? 100% but that shouldn’t be an insult. I’m thankful more artists are following it and we are getting a wave of dance/disco music, which historically has been attacked by misogynistic, homophobic and racist men. I also see it as like…where does she go after lemonade? Artistically, she kinda hit the peak of what her brand had been about up to that point even from the DC days. So I think it takes time to think about where do you go next? In her case, to celebration and what music does that? Well… the lines draw themselves imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURAOFSHEISSE 6,514 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 tbh I don't think the Gaga comparisons make sense , Chromatica is barely house compared to this, this is pure house and I think Bey will dominate and go the extra mile in areas Gaga didn't house music wise. Glad to see Bey experimenting with one of my favorite genres tho “Hands on your knees, I’m Angelina Jolie” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be the main priority, not Chromatica promo during a global pandemic. C'mon! Oh please, let’s stop the martyrdom forcing and be objectively honest. Not one single person has implied that her selfless use of her platforms was an issue or a point in this discussion. If anything, it’s distasteful to bring it up as some sort of ploy to shut down any (constructive and respectful) criticism regarding Gaga’s album rollouts. This is strictly to do with her musical eras and creative output - and my point and perspective still remains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I feel like I would’ve made the comparisons more so in regards to her recent all pink photo shoot with similar Chromatica aesthetics, and a (not verbatim) quote about uniting people on the dance floor - that more than anything was giving I’ll copy your homework and change it a little than the single. The song is very standard 90s house, if anything she rode the recent trend while ‘borrowing’ the aesthetics for herself lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
