Who is Henry Walter? Need his background info.

He's Cirkut

When she solidifies herself as the pop queen of Halloween with TDD 

Ohhh, I love it.

It's funky and the chorus is super catchy. She really knows how to write a good hook. Great production too.

It's surprisingly light and breezy too

I want Gaga to work with cirkut for a couple more albums tbh

 

the production on mayhem and TDD is SOOOOOOOO good. It's fresh, sharp, not overproduced but without sounding too polished or simple. Need an album full of disease/PCs though

Okay I've listened! Need it to grow on me… but the production is SUPER cool. Especially in the prechorus it's epic. The "yeah the musics gonna be bring me back from dead" melody is GREAT!!

 

I feel like the "do the dead dance" part could've gone A LOT harder, it sorta feels like in afterthought, which is odd cause her post choruses usually slay like in abra/telephone, but maybe that part will grow on me cause it's kinda silly/campy

if you don't want to watch the show then skip to the dance scene, it elevates the song much more 

Cause when you killed in INSIIIIDE, that's when I came ALLLIVE. 

 

Ugh this part is stuck in my head and so catchy.

Some thoughts after my first few listens

 

1. I LOVE the song. I'm not a fan of Mayhem's more funky, 80's leaning tracks with the exception of Killah and LoveDrug; but songs like SOAM, DCT, Zombieboy etc don't do it for me for some reason. I think the electronic elements in the verses really scratch that itch in my brain, the chorus is super catchy and her vocals sound soft and thin whereas she normally can sound a bit too loud in belty moments (think "SAW YOUR FACE IN MINE" or "I DIDN'T ASK FOR A FREE RIDE"). It's a solid 8/10 for me.

 

2. I also think she managed to pull off making a song clearly aligned with a kids movie and shamelessly created to promote it ("do the Dead Dance" feels like a plea to TikTok and a direct response to the Bloody Mary trend), yet it sounds good and not cheesy. Songs created to market kids movies/shows so often sound corny or too childish ("Happy," "Can't Stop the Feeling," "Ooh La La"), but TDD sounds digestible and inoffensive enough for a third grader yet Gaga enough for veteran monsters to appreciate. She met the brief PERFECTLY. 

 

3. As a critique, I think the bridge could have been more dynamic or distinct for the song to have really earned the 3:48 length. Probably could have cut the bridge, end on the second chorus, and just give it a little outro instead. 
 

4. God I love this woman so much. I'm so glad she's back in full force.  Bring on the video, the VMAs, and CSTH+KFL on streaming! 

This is perfectly said

Same, but as you said with a completely different sound, more grunge and industrial. Let's keep Gesaffelstein around too.

Cirkut.

 

 

Seems this might have a radio deal in the US?

Thought 'meh' when I listened but it has been stuck in my head since 

I think the second verse & pre chorus is my favorite part  

Definitely an ear worm

A full Gesaffelstein x Cirkut album would be a dream.

She's a genius. This song will probably peak on the radio around Halloween.

Netflix shelling out for a radio deal because God knows Intershit won't

Hopefully this also means the single is being managed by Netflix like when Warner Bros managed Shallow
