Glow 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The first review of the FULL "Applause" has been published! http://martiantv.com/?p=3402 From the review: It’s hard to follow up a power anthem like Katy Perry’s new single “Roar.†Luckily, Lady Gaga has some wickedly theatrical vocals and a dream production team behind her. “Applause†is not quite the followup you’d expect after the massive success of her previous first singles, “Bad Romance†and “Born This Way.†This song is actually rather mute in comparison. Still, this song says a lot about what could be coming from ARTPOP. This song is far more experimental, lyrically and instrumentally, than anything else on the radio. It almost sounds like a song you’d hear from Roisin Murphy or Kelis, but would never gain the popularity it deserves. Of course, since it’s Gaga that won’t be a problem. Back to Gaga’s theatrical vocals, the verses are rather beautiful. Instead of typical polished pop princess vocals, Gaga kicks up the dramatics and delivers in a way you’d expect an actor to during a musical. At first it was kind of unnerving, but the way her voice wobbles as she sings “I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong,†grew to be one of my favorite parts of the song. She mimics this during the second verse also. Of course, the dramatic wobble effect isn’t nearly as much as Gaga shouting, “Put your hands up, make em touch! Make it real now!†or “Give me that thing that I love, turn the lights on!†Musically, the song actually has a rather retro feel. If I could relate it to anything, it’d be an old school Nintendo or Sega Genesis game, but sprinkled with today’s production tricks. The clubs will eat this song alive. The way the beat robotically thuds under her vocals the earworm that will get this song stuck in your brain. Radio? That’s a tricky one. Radio will either embrace is, or drop it as soon as the radio deal fizzles like Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Lovin.†Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
