I've heard sone good mixes that could work. Replace the intro with the chorus. Although the verses are still a risk and poses similar problems that plagued BTW with off putting the GP. Depending on the rest of the material on the album it may have to just be the GH/BM of the album.
Sex Dreams=Aura>> I only wanna be with you> Jewelry & drugs> Artpop=Applause> Swine> Manicure
I disagree with everyone's opinion I've read on I Only Wanna Be With You. That song demands to be a Zedd produced mid tempo electropop power ballad and would slay the GP. Its TEoG 2.0 bookmark me.
Ill have to relisten to these a number of times. I disliked the first half of Swine but the second half with the breakdown was amazing. I see it being the fan favorite of the album tbh. Jewelry and drugs had a good chorus and that trap breakdown was amazing, undecided how I feel about the guests. I see a lot of uneducated people will think she's trying to ride the success of the Harlem Shake with that trap breakdown. Artpop is hypnotic and gives me slight BM teas, good overall. That intro reminds me of that flop Selena track though. Manicure was the only track I didn't care for.
Aura and Sex Dreams are the only ones I heard with single potential. coincidentally the only ones performed without long winded speaches before.
Also I hope those interludes were remixed instrumentals of songs. That interlude playing before Applause was beautiful and I liked the interlude after Jewelry & Drugs too.
I got an TEOG vibe from IOWBWY too, but it's so damn cheesy and the fact that she recalls "born this way" on the lyrics makes the song sound fanmade. Even "Princess Die" is a stronger ballad.
