Mark Ronson says "Papa Don't Preach" similarities accidental
Lady Gaga's 'Joanne': Mark Ronson on Producing 'Raw and Exposed' New Album
On "Perfect Illusion"/"Papa Don't Preach" similarities
Quote:
"Perfect Illusion" started with a Parker demo for a song he called simply "Illusion," which Gaga and Ronson expanded on when they sat down with a piano and guitar, respectively. "The message in that song is quite personal for her," Ronson says. "It's this bastard love child of [Tame Impala's] 'Let It Happen' and 'Bad Romance.'" (As for the similarities to Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" that some have pointed out, Ronson says, "Obviously, that was some kind of accident.")
On Beck/making "Dancin' in Circles"
Quote:
"Dancin' in Circles," the collaboration with Beck, began when Ronson ran into Beck and invited him to the studio. "For Gaga, it was like meeting her idol," he says. "Beck is pretty much her favorite influential artist of the past 20 years. She was a fan girl at first." The song morphed from an unplugged Beck song into what Ronson calls "classic Gaga, like 'Alejandro' and some of the stuff from Fame Monster."
On Gaga's writing
Quote:
Despite all the collaborators, Ronson feels Gaga was never in fear of being overwhelmed. "Her singing and writing are so strong and present and such a dominating color that you never nerve to really worry about that," Ronson says. "She's the glue. Everybody came in in such a natural way and heard what we were working on and found their way to fit in."
so he is admitting that there are similarities? Mark take it back! there are legit no similarities lol
Girl it's the same melody Idk why people are even denying it when it's an objective matter. This happens all the time in music, especially pop. People only care so much in this instance because it's Gaga and Madonna.
Ye, I didn't hear the similarities until I played it to my ex and he started singing "keeping my baby" over it.
I thought it was just pressed Madonna fans making up lies about it.
They don't need to explain this.
