The Free Woman demo is an example of wasted potential with the 90's house influences, background vocals and the higher key without the raspiness. That would have made a smash lead single after ASIB when she had the world in her hands. Yet she still found a way to ruin it by releasing SL, which was leaked online and being played in clubs months before its release with that atrocious music video. It was a time she could get away with with taking more risks and being more daring, yet still wanted to play it as safe as possible. I'm the mastering stages of Chromatica and Mayhem, they are made to be watered down without hearing the details in the production that would make more impact. I hope this isn't going to happen for her future albums, but something tells me she wants to be 'softer' now. Her Jazz albums and side projects are the only way we can hear the full power of her voice, and have better production to showcase it. Her studio albums are cursed

You are cursed.

I find it so hilarious that we all instantly reviled Carino from the beginning. I personally thought he was too old for Gar & didn't like that he was her agent, but what really made me be fully anti-CariNO was when he randomly showed up with cornrows tbh. So glad she got with Micheal.

Michael becoming her manager lowkey gave me the ick too , but he seems like a genuinely good guy with her best interests at heart, totally different from the carino situation

Because it's unpleasant to listen to. Thus, people do not click play. Low streams, low reach, no lasting impacts. A complete failure of what was positioned as a follow up career defining hit.

AvaMax did indeed spill that the Kygo-ization of the Chromatica demos was a disappointing moment for the Liddos, however he still needs to be threadbanned for his Trumpian Mayhymn lashings

rain on me is too gay imo

like gayer than btw

like… an Ariana collab… who pitched her that

It tanked because it's too pleasant to listen to, the GP said no to H&M dressing room songs and yes to dark bops

I'm dancing until I'm deeeaaaEAAAD (dead)

It aged badly because it was a watered down compressed quick single. With Ariana on it, it should have been a dance banger like her catalogue, and Gaga's early work. She just doesn't want to do anything daring these days, and plays it safe. Abracadabra will be similar, it will battle its way to 1B streams but end up forgotten in a couple of years

Venus and Gypsy were the smash hits of ARTPOP. Applause never stood a chance with its cringey lyrics and dated production

Just woken up in the morning and read you guys comments and oops!... wow.

I think she's doing fine though.

The way this could've been avoided if they had just stopped using that word

We are free from compression

The dislikes even though everything you spilled was the truth lol

The Free Woman demo is a million times better than the final, I suspect that's the case for plenty of songs on Mayhem too

the compression ends here huh. I'm gonna miss you MadMax12
