The Dead Dance artwork + worldwide song and video release times confirmed

[Elderflower 520]

I like the production; it sounds quite layered and rich. Her vocals are nice

It's a catchy song with a classic spooky vibe over it

[palma 8,614]

it's clearly meant to be a tiktok hit so spiritually MAYHEM but a bit more generic and approachable. Kinda jealous that TDD got a video over GOE and SOAM but I'll take it 

I enjoy the production a lot tbh and the chorus is catchy (albeit repetitive but hey this is the woman who released Poker Face). It'd slap on the tracklist right after Zombieboy (which is happening apparently).

Idk if it's gonna smash but if it does I guarantee that suddenly everyone will love it from the first listen!!11!

Ofc there are songs which would've deserved single treatment in Mayhem, but i think TDD has so much potential. Catchy enough, but it does not misrepresent Gaga in any way.

Honestly, i think she made the right choice. It's such a cute bop

Neon Lights is not a real song

And it was also godawful - this song is way better than that to be fair

[Galagala 4,618]

Weaker than most Mayhem tracks (Zombieboy, SoAM, etc) or even some Chromatica ones. Too heavy, voice tight and the melody is just not great. Love the chorus tho.

It's a miss but it's okay.

Chorus is so catchy from 1st listen, perfect for tiktok  

[nATAH 52,328]

I really don't like it

feels incomplete and basic compared to the rest of Mayhem

I listened to SOAM right after and the difference in quality was huge

[Galagala 4,618]

I'm sad Vanish Into You didn't get a video and pushed as a single but this one did...

I guess my biggest bone to pick is that I kinda wish that she hadn’t given the huge Tim Burton video treatment to THIS song. Like I appreciate it for what it is: a cute little bop for Wednesday, which is also a show I actually like and would have watched anyway with or without Gaga, but I feel like it’s a slap on the face to better songs like Vanish Into You or Garden of Eden. I hope this eras music videos don’t stop here.

Yeah even Zombieboy Lovedrug o SOAM deserved something, now the Mayhems leftovers get the cool video😭😭

yes thats what I immediately thought 

that it was about to break out into pa pa papapa 

Yeah LMAO maamahhpapaa papa perfect illusion

the beat is fire in the intro and verses then the chrorus ruins it all with the disco vibes (the first part, “when you kill thats when i came alive” is good vocally but the cheesy disco beats ruin it)

[weed 75,524]

I just listened, and I think it’s a cute song, but nothing too special. The production and mixing kind of bury her vocals under too many layers. I’d give it a 7/10

[Magic Mike 2,756]

a glorious return to her most dazzling synth pop and disco side, already feels like an instant classic. im completely hooked and cannot stop moving with this dead dance.

[LostSpark 581]

Been on repeat since the first listen. Really catchy. Love it.

[eddyjeddy 1,764]

To me, I’m getting vibes this is a standalone single for the show (but at the same time DWAS ended up in the album) though I’m guessing it’s jump starting an era that’s not even dead but in a gp point of view 

 

watch me do the dead dance in the grocery store
