Again, Chromatica is a lot more eurodance than the Detroit and New York house Vogue (and Break My Soul, and yes, and) are paying homage to. Same umbrella, different subgenres.

not it doesnt

It was definitely Dua and Chromatica, you could even say Katy had a role in it with Swish Swish.

First thing I thought of when I heard ari’s new single was Beyonce

Yes and by this thread you can tell people don’t know the difference between the House music people of fairer skin took and made easily digestible for the masses (which has been mainstream in Europe for decades, hey nothing wrong with it I guess) vs more Ballroom style songs which is more to the floor and hard beats. (which is what more black and brown people who invented ballroom gravitate towards.)

Also, apart from the musical influences, yes, and? is specifically queer coded in a way none of Chromatica is. But people will never waste an opportunity to post a random album track to make their fave seem more relevant instead of a song that actually interpolated Vogue first.

Lady Gaga could fart and it would be queer coded, sis. She’s tied her brand so heavily to the LGBTQIAA+ community that everything she does is queer coded.

Even drake was doing that type of music by the time Bey did it

 

The funny thing tho is yall talking about bringin this type of music but everybody doing it has underperformed. They keep trying but there's no hits. I don't think ariana will be the exception

That’s because they’re all abysmal. Nobody needs these bleak ass tracks when Martha Wash is still around.

Is anyone familiar with the genre House Disco? 
 


We have had this genre at the forefront in the U.K. and Europe for years now. Dua dipped in a bit on it with Club Future Nostalgia and Gaga a bit with Babylon.

 

Renaissance on the other hand was created by sampling many many songs to create a ballroom vibe but is far far from actually being ballroom coded with the exception perhaps of BMS Queens Remix.

 

I’m sorry but no pop girl can be credited of bringing house disco upfront when it’s become quite mainstream for years out.

Claiming Babylon isn't a ballroom track is wild.

Just because Beyonce did it doesn’t mean she was the first

Lady Gaga is openly bisexual. She’s part of the community. Her art is always going to be queer-coded regardless of whether it’s overt or not. 
 

Babylon is ballroom - and is therefore queer-coded. The majority of Chromatica is house music. ATRL is proving once again it knows nothing about music genres.

I mean she’s definitely not the first one but she’s one of the people who did it best and actually add something new to it but also make it her own. :gaycat1:

Gaga is as “bisexual” as Katy, Nicki and Jessie J.

I don’t know but she definitely did it the best.

I never said shes the first. I asked if she pushed it to the forefront, two very different things

I mean, if NOT, then who did? Taylor Alison Swift? :penguin:

Maybe for like 15 perptually-online internet-trendy insects?

Anyone denying this new Ari single isn't Renaissance-inspired is simply deluded or completely blinded by their hatred of Bey :toofunny3:

people posting chromatica in here when there’s barely any house music on it let alone ballroom :rip:

Right? Chromatica is mostly your regular run of the mill David Guetta/Max Martin 2010s EDM

The only songs on it that maybe MAYBE sound like 90s house are Free Woman and Babylon

Not claiming every Gaga song ever (even Hold My Hand) is queer coded.

 

As for ballroom, that's literally what everyone has been saying. That Beyoncé's #1 lead single which actually interpolated Vogue in one of its remixes was more instrumental in bringing ballroom to the forefront over a Gaga album track that limply imitated the sound.
