vanna shintuyu 11,360 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The Alejandro demo absolutely BODIES the album version. That dirty, scuzzy synth is so much more satisfying and gives the song so much intensity. The Ace of Base instrumental that it ended up with is so blah. No umph, just a needy pop song that could be anyone's. I think in this time we're living in, post-Mayhem, where it's safe to say that Chromatica's production was largely handled away from her, this is another song that was unfairly circumcised, like Free Woman. I'll present both for you to listen now. Present your cases either way. 2 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 40,324 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) That demo hurts my ears. Thank God Alejandro got circumcised then. Edited January 23 by Anderson123 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 28,850 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Just sounds messy imo. And why are these "demo" vocals the same at the final version Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much more happening in the finished production. Edited January 23 by vanna shintuyu Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley 9,849 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I don’t like that scratchy sound in the background whatever that is, prefer the final version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 16,987 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) That bass synth actually still exists in the final album version in the chorus it’s just better mastered and mixed. Also I think the choice to make it more Ace of Base works better because of her references for the song’s sound. Plus it feels too much like Bad Romance’s production imo. Also this was clearly just a reference demo (ie using the artificial violin sound to fill where a real sample would eventually be played) Edited January 23 by gagzus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMonster 1,259 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 No. but I agree about Free Woman’s demo being radically better than the finished version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimotheeChalamet 6,448 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) The only Gaga demos that are better than the final version are Free Woman, Babylon and maybe Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (with the added "look at them all dirty rich girls, look at them all dirty rich boys" line) Edited January 24 by TimotheeChalamet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just messing with Alejandro's multitracks a week or so ago and I remember digging that specific sound. It could be louder for the chorus tbh but the verses definitely sound better cleaned up some. 🥀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demo is a sort of raw, unpolished gaga that makes me want to crawl inside her mind to catch a glimpse of what's going on there I don't believe in the glorification of murder, I do believe in the empowerment of women 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
