Blue Jeans 3,815 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Funny how playing it too safe is actually working against them. What is DJWS' speciality? Trap. What is popular right now? Trap. Hadn't they played it too safe, at least 2 trap (not including J&D..) would've made the cut. They don't have to be 'real' trap, but something alike. Turn Down For What, Fancy, Dark Horse, etc inb4 Cake Like Lady Gaga next single Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEANUS 14,954 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 IMO, Jewels N' Drugs should have been released to Urban radios during the blackout from January to March.....at least have something on the radio to keep the album selling some copies and keep some buzz.

hausofmike 127 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Brooklyn Nights for next single Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence 232 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 A mess. No one expected West Coast to even go top 10. The fact that went with little to no promo is great. The song was taken off itunes by interscope also, replaced by a "clearer" version, reason as to why it's not in the top 100 anymore. They killed her single in its second week. Not to mention the second version sucks. Shouldn't they have figured out the mastering of the song BEFORE the release? Mess mess mess mess mess.

YeehawKylie 7,817 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Brooklyn Nights for next single Wouldn't be a bad idea. If it does well, re-release ARTPOP with it on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,775 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Wouldn't be a bad idea. If it does well, re-release ARTPOP with it on there. The sound is a bit dated though... The instrumental should be changed just a BIT to sound more like Route 94 or Am I Wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psylobin 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yeah exactly, it was a stupid idea to delete the single. So she's gonna suffer one of the biggest drops of the Hot 100 or will streams save her? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 And playing it too safe for the first time Where exactly did she play it too safe? Because she didnt release trap? You don't even know if she had any vision about trap at all (even if she did refer to trap in the beginning of the project), you don't even know if the trap tracks were good, you don't even know how they would do. The fact that you say such thing is stupid, you don't know what has happened backstage and the process and it gives you no right to say ARTPOP safe when half the album is like nothing similar on Radio. Everyone can say big words when things have occurred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,775 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 One thing for sure: Gaga needs more real instruments with the next album. Piano, violin, guitars.. Synthpop is kinda out atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instrumental should be changed just a BIT to sound more like Route 94 or Am I Wrong Well, if they were to make it a single and re-release the album upon it's success they could have the original version and a more updated version. I honestly love the song and think it has great potentional...the lyrics are relatable and it'll give enough nostalgia for those who liked The Fame.

VforVendetta 2,024 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Perhaps they mean G.U.Y. was a safe single choice?I agree about GUY but one song is not the album and after all she couldn't afford a big risk at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can say big words when things have occurred. They played it too safe, that's for sure. Early 2013/2012, when most songs were being made, GUY, Sexxx Dreams, DWUW, Applause, Donatella, Swine, Fashion!, MANiCURE, Gypsy would be considered radio-friendly. 'All songs on the album were designed to be a hit'. That says enough. And just a year earlier they were all like 'this is very experimental' 'I dont think radio would give it a chance' 'its extremely fresh' 'EDM from 2050', while most songs are typical Zedd productions or typical Gaga songs. The only songs which are actually fresh are Aura, Venus and perhaps ARTPOP. Relistening the Aura demo ugh it was exactly what I was expecting for the album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
