DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I've listened to every ABBA song released and a fair few that weren't and I can't think of anything in their discography that sounds like this. They'd certainly never do the beat in the second snippet. The only thing I can think of is that it has tiered harmonies ("let's blast off to a new dimension" comes closest to the ABBA sound), but a song having harmonies doesn't make it similar to ABBA, especially since their harmonies are much more "unified" as opposed to these where you can clearly pick out what each line is. They also don't start the first verse with harmonies with maybe a few exceptions (If It Wasn't For The Nights comes to mind). Sonically, ABBA were always looking to fill all the space in their songs and these tracks are relatively sparse. They also were not big on synthesizers until Super Trouper, and the first snippet's beat is too 80s for ABBA (the closest they ever got to that type of beat was in Voulez-Vous). They "took a break" in 1982 and so were not influenced by future 80s trends. Their vocal style was never aggressive like in the second snippet. They would not have such a stark contrast between verse and bridge, either. Can anyone seriously tell me what is making people say it's like ABBA? Because I'm a huge ABBA stan and I seriously don't understand the comparison at all. It does sound like 80s music (but honestly everything Gaga makes sounds like it could belong in the 80s ) to an extent, but this song is definitely weird. Just because your an ABBA stan doesn't mean you can speak for them and say that comparing this song to them is wrong. I will say that their harmonies are what made me think of them. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme came to mind when I heard ARTPOP. The violins are so similar. But I'm not is copying. I like that. For Venus I can hear bits of ABBA not 100% them. I'm just saying that Venus gives off vibes that remind of the great music of yesterday. There's nothing wrong with that. We all listen to music differently.

Hearing the bridge and the 1st snippet makes me think that making DWUW the 2nd single was the best choice Interscope has ever made Edited October 27, 2013 by Mast Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geopang 4,831 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hearing the bridge and the 1st snippet makes me think that making DWUW the 2nd single was the best choice Interscope has ever made Preach. That second snippet is the only thing keeping me around for venus. Those vocals in the prechorus are godly in the second snippet but everything else is whatever Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soDOPE 0 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I really was hoping the Planet name calling part in the middle 8 was gonna be like an amazing poker face / judas chanting bit...but it's literally just as bad as it is written out. She just screams the names! Yikes! I'm hoping the chorus makes it all come together cos I'm very divided on parts of the song. Verses - AMAZING Prechorus "I can't help the way I'm feeling..." - AMAZING Prechorus "Take me to your planet..." - MEH Middle 8 - AWFUL Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
