Next Single After Abracadabra?

[C1trus 4,283]

Supposed you're in a meeting with Gaga, her team and label representative. The agenda is choosing for the next single after Abracadabra. What insights will you give?

[C1trus 4,283]

Here's mine:

1. Vanish Into You

- The song can easily be digested by the GP/radio. The melody is infectious AF. 

- It continues the theme about death/dying from her previous mayhem singles.

 

2. Garden of Eden

- Can also be good choice because it's very on brand with Gaga but the song feels like it's either you love it or hate it.

- The theme of the song has so much potential in having very creative music video and I'm here for it!

 

Zombieboy can come after and ride with the Wednesday hype.

I'd sit down & reason with her.

Choose Vanish or-

[meltedplastic 189]

Vanish Into You with a really gothic music video but with a retro psychedelic feel.
I would like to see a video that artistically explores the notion of that melancholic love shes singing about.
Crimson sunsets, technicolor landscapes, fields of blossoms, storm clouds and wildfires in the distance, a completely surreal gothic fantasy.
I feel she should continue this gothic dream idea, but go into a more classical psychedelic route.
I see sepia, brown, orange and pink colours.

VIY, i think it will age the best and deserves to be a gaga staple

[Auralegends 6,177]

I think HBDUMW has the potential to be a summer smash. VIY is a good alternative

[brizoda 3,772]

1 - GOE

2 - VITY

3 - HBDUWM

4 - ZB

[Skyana Rava 978]

HBDUWM feat. Taylor's version, I'm here for it. I'll keep sayin' it. It's the dream come true 

[GerMonsterNotta 1,370]

So many options….. I’d say either, 

(1) after TUDUM, I would say monitor if Zombieboy is going a bit viral / getting some more streams, and if people are loving this, get this out there released now with Gothic yet summer-friendly video, with some funky remixes to try and push as summer hit….. re-release again with Halloween mix later and release a mini Wednesday inspired EP …, with  Zombieboy, Bloody Mary mix, Bad Romance spooky/acoustic, Disease acoustic, to keep that going…… Release VIY mid/late tour as gift for fans. 

(2) If  Zombieboy not taking off/viral now, go for HBDYWM with a psychedelic / nostalgic video with amazing landscape scenery and beautiful flowing couture to release when tour starts …. Release Zombieboy package during Halloween…. Then do VIY mid/later tour

As far as easily digestible to GP and most hit potential im gonna say HBDYWM. And they Taylor Swift comparisons would only add to its attention

 

VIY would be a better choice if catering purely to fans and not caring about charts or performance. Despite getting more streams now by fans, as a single I think it has little to no chance of being a major hit especially because its already the 3rd/4th single which makes a hit super difficult unless its super loved by the GP imo

Yeah I think HBDUWM has the most hit potential

 

But if its about making fans happy... VIY seems to be fan fav and is probably #2 in hit potential

 

So depends what route she wants to go on lol

[RainOnGaga 22]

i would love if the music video was gaga tied to strap with machines around her working to erase her memory or something, like Fortnight or We Can't Be Friends....but she could have the dancers around her making it fun

[Bronco 9,653]

HBDUWM has the most GP/Chart potential.

VIY is a good second choice but I think it'll be weaker with younger audiences and better with the adult contemporary audience. 

[Ilia Malinin 1,455]

i'm gonna say VIY solely because it's a total earworm.  i can't NOT sing along.
