Cruel Summer Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Trying to deny Gaga’s status as a trend setting figure, perhaps more than ever with Chromatica, is an exercise in futility. Even beyond the house influences of the era preceding the latest wave of mainstream house with Drake and Beyoncé, and the thematic influence noted above, she also showcased more underground sounds like hyperpop on Dawn Of Chromatica in a way no other artist of her stature had yet done. I feel like she gets discredited a lot in spaces like ATRL where she’s viewed through the “pop girl” lens and compared to the top dance-pop girls of the moment, like Dua, when in truth there’s an entire other side to her as an artist at the forefront of dance and electronic music. There’s a reason albums like The Fame and Chromatica have dominated Billboard’s Dance/Electronic chart to the point where she’s by far the biggest artist in that chart’s history, while other major pop artists aren’t even classified as eligible to chart.

So true, thank you
Ego Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 No woman in recent history has dominated the EDM genre in the way Gaga has for so long. She has been consistently the top female artist in the genre since she debuted so it really is her territory. It’s not surprising Beyoncé would draw inspiration from the top of the top for her dance oriented record. It’s smart, even.

Stop acting like FN is anything original, it's just generic pop music, she didn't trend anything, not sure why her fans/journalists try to push this narrative

At this point it's like arguing with a wall. If you want to believe that FN is "generic pop music" (this drag from a Katy stan feels...weird but ok) or sounds exactly like what Carly Rae was doing, then do it babes!

Can you stop calling me a "Katy Perry stan" just to discredit what I say (also, that's a cringe thing to do) like you ******* know me?

Newt Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Honestly, most of these songs have felt corny, wack and dry Praying that the rock trend takes further hold
hardbrit Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Dua Lipa is to be credited. She REALLY pushed that sound

chris1991 Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Gaga maybe in 2010 In the last two years I def think it’s Dua and The Weekend who revived dance!

Cheers Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Gaga? No. Dua Lipa? Absolutely. Everyone wants their Future Nostalgia era now
Nicholai Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 The OGH in the lastest post chile Even if Future Nostalgia was more successful both influenced the current dance momentum.
carameldelight Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 Yeah for the basics and those that don’t care about it’s history. Gaga and Dua make dance music purely just for the pop aesthetic. When an artist like Beyoncé experiments with house it’s in line with the actual culture and history. At a time when the gays, blacks, and woman were under attack house music was created as a form of escape. This is exactly where Beyoncé is coming from; after a pandemic, womens rights under attack, gay/trans being attacked, etc Beyoncé releases a house track entitled “break my soul”. Totally in line with the history/art. There’s levels to that type of genius Dua and Gaga don’t get and aren’t even thinking about. That’s why Bey is supreme.

They even teased it on 2019's Everyday Life booklet OT: Isn't Future Nostalgia a throwback to the 80s though?
