Lady Gaga - Mayhem

[Square]

Gagarita's mind for invoking millennial nostalgia when those tweenage Little Monsters now have money.

 

[RJF]

Did y’all think that me loving the single would make me docile? I’m about to be even more unbearable!

 

[Applause]

Get a room you two.

@Applause @RJF I think you should make out

 

[undisco_me]

I hear the chorus to Mad World by Gary Jules, but no Banshees (apparently Severin has said they were paid very handsomely for the sample, whatever it is!)

 

[LeBratt]

@mods ban both Applause and RJF from the thread we don’t need this public foreplay

 

[Joe.]

The way I woke up with my paws up to the sky, she finally got me again.

I am pretty sure that SatB sample is a small guitar buzz (you can hear it 0:51, and then several times throughout). Sounds like something from Juju, and credits confirm it, I’m just not sure if it’s Spellbound (it’s so short it could be anything)

 

[LeBratt]

Also just wanna spread some love here, I love these moments when the forum joins in on the stanning and everything feels correct. It’s so fun reading the reactions in this thread. It’s fun to see Ms Gargantula enjoy being a pop star again. It’s heartwarming to hear that speech after getting Die With a Grammy.

 

[Suburbia]

I don't think she'll nab a hit from this era apart from Die with a Grammy. Even when electropop was palatable on radio, she was still sorta kinda a tough sell dd.

But who cares. She's 15+ years into her career and has every accolade available. I'd imagine the goal here is to continue cementing her status as an icon and sell another successful stadium tour.

Certainly not with this sound (and I feel like even braindead stans are grown up enough to reallse that), but I'm interested with all the talk of Mayhem being a genre smorgasbord if there's anything on there that would appease radio and follow Die while being tasteful/good

There's a Banshees Guitar Sample in the pre chorus and it's also gated ( sliced up ) throughout the chorus. So essentially it's the chord progression for the song so some Publishing & Sampling credits go to the band. Budgie the bands drummer is credited for production to I think. As ever she's shown impecable taste by being inspired by one of the greatest UK punk/alt bands ever.

Can't wait for this to be a huge hit and trend in the new hologram video sharing app ☌⌰⎍⍀☌⊑⏚⌰⟒ in the year 2034.

 

[Leopold]

She looks great, especially in white.

The music video is very "Alejandro" does "Artpop".

It feels this era was conceptualized off the back of that TikTok of Wednesday dancing to Bloody Mary. Spooky wooky Halloween cookiness... with a little goth chich thrown in for good measure.

What the GP want most from her at this point seems to be Joanne 2, however.

 

[DirtyPornStar]

The prechorus sounds a bit like Spellbound, so I think they were just covering their asses.

The song is incredible regardless.

Actually listening to this again with headphones, there’s a subtle guitar under the “lady in red” bit that makes me think the Siouxsie sample may be intentional.

 

[Dātura]

Absolutely gagged. The video, the vocals, the post-chorus, the operatic outro…!

Stefani if you're reading this room, ignore this part.

She had 11 consecutive top 10 hits, a few of those Diamond certified. Tough sell my ass.

I'm talking about radiooooooOOOOOO

 

[Maki]

Okay "Abracadabra" is excellent, replayed it five times after first hearing it. "Disease" had a big chorus but this one overall sounds huge. I should listen some more before further thoughts.

 

[kiokiokio]

I fucking LOVE this song. Nothing better when you play a song for the first time and grin all the way through.

 

[Solenciennes]

Maybe the ma-mas and pa-pas were the real na-nas and ga-gas we made along the way
