Seeing her giant Mediterranean nose nonchalantly flapping out of my phone screen fills me up with serotonin. Hello mom!!
Just piggybacking on this to say it certainly has a good chance to bubble under the Hot 100! And honestly, that’s always a slay.
I listened to the sped up version too often that the album version sounds excruciatingly slow now. It's definitely a song that would've sounded better with a faster tempo.
Bloody Mary getting her flowers feels so right and you all should be ashamed you didn’t give it your 11 in the 2011 re-rate like my good hermana @Applause and I did!
3 tracks leaked: another demo of Manicure, another demo of We Could Be Lovers, and a 2008 (?) track named Photographs I'd never heard of before.
"Photograph" is pretty cool, I really like it. I wonder if it's an outtake from "The Fame" or one of those songs she wrote/recorded for other artists around that time. Supposedly it's from early "A Star Is Born" sessions, the original full demo of the song surfaced earlier this year:
Another demo of MANiCURE. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the post-chorus and bridge flip took away from the final song.
She really should've included the 'making bank as pop's wife' bridge from one of the early demos somehow too.
