WHAT ON EARTH IS EVERYONE HEARING IN THAT SONG THAT I DON'T HEAR

I enjoy its simplicity more than anything to be honest. Artpop was one of my favorite records from last year but some shit was so overproduced. I'm looking at you, Aura, MJH... Brooklyn Nights has relatively simple lyrics, easy to sing along to and Gaga sounds vocally great. It's not something I imagine dominating the charts, but I certainly think it could replace a number of songs on Artpop.

You're still talking about it. :ahh:

and your fave's album still isn't platnium. poor it. No one is talking about that.

Koodo jumped that ship, I thought.

 

[cory64]

Brooklyn Nights has some pretty awkward transitions, even for a demo.

Gaga?

4 months, that reign

 

[Vitanimus]

G-Gaga?

 

[Trigger]

Brooklyn Night is cute, but really rough compared to other unreleased stuff.

More like Waffles and Triggers absences. Their impact.

Spoiler

...and by extension Louis's impact

Educate them.

[Soulscribe]

Brooklyn Nights is nothing special (except for the bridge because monotone-Ga gives me infinite lives) but I do find it to be kind of refreshing. It's not trying to be 8 things at once; just an understated, sweet love song. I'm a fan of her lyrical style (New York reference, description, description, admission of love for certain detail from said description) and BN reminds me of her old 2007-2008 cuts. I appreciate it.

Do I think it deserves to be on ARTPOP? No, because it doesn't fit with the album. But with a slick production and some retooled vocals I think it has a lot of potential.

Oh, that song was officially released on some obscure regions versions of The Fame and on the soundtrack of that shitty Isla Fisher movie though

Exactly. Also I saw it live during monster ball 1.0.

I don't get it either.

Was just about to post this. Sounds legit to me.

A shame it's terrible. But I guess it would fit in with most of The Fame then.

I stand by my original reaction.

Getting my life from Purity Ring's best song.

I listen to it everyday. Such a flawless album.

Let's hope this is true.

Her dad hinted at something happening this month, too.

And what is is this from Emile Haynie's instagram. Ultraviolence snippet?

[Booty Patrol]

It's really weird we haven't heard the lead single yet. Isn't the album coming out the first week of May?

 

[Vitanimus]

I wonder how Ultraviolence will perform commercially considering Video Games went viral in 2011 and cemented her success, although Lana has never been, and probably never will be, a singles artist. She's had a relatively successful year with Young and Beautiful, the Cedric Gervais remix of Summertime Sadness charting high worldwide and to some extent, Once Upon a Dream in Maleficent which is pretty much guarenteed to be a box office success. I don't think Ultraviolence will have the same legs as Born To Die, but then again we've heard no tracks yet, so I'd love to be wrong.

How so? I mean, Lana as an artist is more widely known now as opposed to when she released Born To Die. If anything, Ultraviolence will do astronomically better than BTD and Paradise because of all the reasons you listed. The only way it can NOT do as well is if the lead single is trash.

Ariana needs to improve her enunciation dramatically before she even thinks about practicing those whistle notes.

I wouldn't say anything like that. I hope Ultraviolence slays both quality wise and commercially. But far too many artists have emerged with a debut album that sells well over time, and their follow up flops.

 

[KNT-Zero]

What the fuck is going on with Justin Bieber? He's randomly releasing all these singles every Monday these past few weeks ("Music Mondays" he calls them) and they're all INCREDIBLE...by the standards of his prior discography, at least. Does he even have an album coming out?

I mean, what!? That's some damn good stuff from the Biebz, some Justified-era Neptunes realness

Spoiler

Songs would be so much better if he had a stronger voice tho

Can't believe how much I'm liking this stuff. My 18 year old, no-longer-a-Bieber-fan sister would laugh her ass off with me. Aw well, another guilty pleasure makes the list...

I see your point. I think with Lana, her aesthetic and vocal ability was considered wildly different to the current pop soundscape in 2011 with Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc. dominating the charts, which created an atmosphere of intrigue and uniqueness surrounding her which helped fuel Born To Die's longevity. But in turn, she has a dedicated fanbase and has established herself as an artist, so I guess it is equally possible that Ultraviolence surpasses the critical and commerical success of Born To Die. I hope this makes sense?

Oh it absolutely does. I guess my point is that I think Lana can only go up from here (hopefully) because of the amount of recognition she's getting.

I don't think she'll ever have another smash like the Summertime Sadness remix unless she remixes something from Ultraviolence, but I suspect her album will do well.

 

[Vitanimus]

I do too.

Let's all look back on how awful the Wrecking Ball video is. Amazing.

I find watching that video really uncomfortable now in light of the recent Terry Richardson news.

I've always found Terry Richardson absolutely vile, so my view hasn't really changed much in light of the recent news.

I agree. He's a creep and sexual predator and shouldn't be endorsed just because of his "talent" and connections. Ergh.
