single Lady Gaga - "Disease"

[Haze]

It's not revolutionary or anything, but her vocals really elevate this and show how needed she is in pop music. This is her reclaiming her lane, there will be more adventurous songs on the album. And it gets better and better with repeated plays.

[Venice B]

I think the song needs a punch. I don't know, it's not bad but it needed something more I think. It's very one note.

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Cure your disease

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Cure ya

Ah-ah-ah

I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya

I can cure your disease

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Cure your disease

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Cure your disease

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ooh, ooh

 

let's be honest, when you put it with hook, ofc it will look like that 

lyrics are amazing

 

Quote

There are no more tears to cry
I heard you beggin' for life
Runnin' out of medicine
You're worse than you've ever been

Screamin' for me, baby
Like you're gonna die
Poison on the inside, I could be your antidote tonight

I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease
If you were a sinner, I could make you believe
Lay you down like one, two, three
Eyes roll back in ecstasy I can smell your sickness
I can cure your disease

You're so tortured when you sleep
Plagued with all your memories
You reach out, and no one's there
Like a god without a prayer

but hey. sexy confident i guess

there's the oficial audio already, it's the chorus i think 

and she's not posting because she's aiming for a more organically spread on the app i may think? the fans are creating endless edit, let's see what's catch up

i predict a make-up challenge 

[C SLAYCLAIR]

Okay some of y'all are bashing the song just because you don't like her but she cleared. I didn't like on first listen and now I love. It's no BTW that's a fact but that's also me being biased. Lets not discredit miss gaga

Agree.  I was reading a book on melody + rhythmic theory and it has me looking at these recent Pop songs differently.  
 

They talk about how when a melody sits on the downbeat mostly…it can come across boring.  Or missing something.
 

I think that's the issue.  Production is solid…but I needed more from the melody.  I had the same issue with Dua's "Illusion".  

[Infernal Paradise]

5/5 from The Evening Standard

This is a tune that will stay with you like a curse, in a good way. Disease has got wicked case of the earworms, burrowing their way into your brain after just one listen. If the nymphomaniac parasites from David Cronenburg's 1975 body horror Shivers had pursued a musical career, this would be their signature song.

sounds like your hating just to hate atp.. if the song is about disease then obviously it's going to have lyrics that relate to it.. 

your logic and sarcasm makes no sense.

I'm not hating just to hate, I'm giving reasons why I don't like it. she can get her point across without resorting to use synonyms and all kinds of medical terminology just to fit into the theme of the song. 

[PMM]

the reviews! the vocals! the instrumental! the acclaim! the ogh doing whatever they doing! 

[aotwbys]

I love how she snuck some creepy ass piano into the beat

The lyrics are clearly a metaphor and also about love. You're taking the lyrics way too literally. It's not that deep…

i really like it but i think it's funny how both katy and gaga are releasing songs in 2024 that sound like their 2011-2013 stuff 

Not one song from 2011 to 2013 sounds like Disease.

Clash:

Quote

Disease' is the next variant of her contagion. In tapping back into her roots, Lady Gaga seems to have found pop renewal, amid a clanking, mechanised, tech-fuelled landscape. Gazing beyond the culture bleakness of a pop-pandemic world, she might just be the chaotic cure.

Our mark? 9/10

Slant:

Quote

Just in time for Halloween, "Disease" finds Gaga falling back on some of the tricks from her early heyday—namely the macabre imagery and brash EDM stylings of 2009's The Fame Monster and 2011's Born This Way. Produced by Gaga, Cirkut, and Andrew Watt, the track is driven by a heavy industrial beat and squelchy bassline with enough heft to support Gaga's characteristically bombastic performance.

independent:

Quote

With typical dramatic flare, she pares everything back on the final chorus to desolate piano notes and her diaphanous falsetto, before another growl and a final, rip-roaring salvo. "Disease" is like a defibrillator to the chest, jolting us out of our stupor. Welcome back, Mother Monster. 8/10

The acclaim so far 

I just know that the poor OGHs who pretend they don't like it have been playing it nonstop since it came out 

[Adam’s Eve]

Someone send help, I can't stop listening 

 

The beat

 

The gagging/orgasm sounds between verses

 

It's a bop, I fear!

[ahauntingnearu]

Can we leave that loser out of this thread's discussion?

 

OT: liking this more and more with each listen. There are a few truly heinous vocal moments but I love bthe instrumental and the chorus really hits
