Mother of Puppies 36,415 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Can I just say that "Enigma" has one of the best instrumentals/production and it's ****ing underrated and also among her best songs ever? Can't stop staring, I'm so naked Wrapped in shadows, my heart races Dragon's eyes watch, goddess breathing Give me something to believe in I wonder if she wrote this song especially to perform live in an arena/stadium? It's literally made for this Spoiler Spoiler Violet light smears, the atmosphere I'm so scared, but I'm standing here Is what I am seeing real, or is it just a sign? Is it all just virtual? The whole arena was flooded with violet light and of course she was scared and nervous to perform again after so many years... (she once said she's always nervous before a show) but still she's standing there and doing it. Is what she's seeing real or is it all just virtual? She probably can't believe what she's seeing (thousands of people) Sometimes it must be like a dream for her I guess... I mean it must be insane to perform for so many fans... Dragon's eyes watch, goddess breathing If I'm not mistaken her piano is in the shape of a dragon - maybe our goddess is a secret fan of Game of Thrones and the mother of dragons After TCB I am even more in love with Enigma and now count it among my absolute favorite songs (even though I adored it before) but now it has a special place in my heart cuz that performance was epic! I-I'll be your enigmaaaa That instrumental is everything THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTGOD 3,266 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I don’t know exactly what the creative direction for Chromatica was. At some points it wants to tribute 90s house music without bringing too much new to the table, sometimes it tries to bring it to the present but in the process loses some of the magic of the era, sometimes it seems like it’s not even going for 90s house at all. If the intention was to mix the best elements of 90s house music and contemporary dance music, then Enigma is the most successful. The big vocals, growing intensity and elegant instrumentation of the 90s, with synth palates and modern production sensibilities. It’s only surpassed by Replay in my opinion, and it, along with Babylon capture the joy of House music the best for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KubaM316 13,611 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Say what you want but Enigma at TCB - one of my favourite moments of the show. The energy during this song is just AMAZING Spoiler: Spoiler especially during that extended outro the lights the synths and Gaga walking through the crowd with her dancers I'm here for it And the song itself is just out of this world 31 minutes ago, Mother of Puppies said: Reveal hidden contents Violet light smears, the atmosphere I'm so scared, but I'm standing here Is what I am seeing real, or is it just a sign?

I always understood it as what she said in the Apple Music interview. In short: enigma = our online avatars.

thisguyN 616 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Can I just say that the Chromatica Ball really elevated some songs for me (like Alice and Enigma) that I enjoyed already a lot anyways. But this is crazy how much power live performances and visuals have on music. For me Alice was “just a good song”, now is one of my all time favorite Gaga songs.

PhantomOfTheDance 13,794 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 When the tracklist leaked, I claimed this song to be my #1. My intuition was so right, I love it. TCB performance of it makes me love the song even more, eith the final part of it and the "DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID" part at the concert has got to be my second favorite part of the show (the final interlude being the winner). Enigma has got to be one of her best songs tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSine 6,179 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Agreed. My top three are Enigma, Replay and Babylon. I also agree that Enigma has the best production. It's not too quiet, but not too overwhelming either. It's the perfect house beat. 💛 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
