.Lady Gaga – “Bad Romance”
Now I’m not a huge fan of this track. It starts off with creepy “Ra Ra Ah Ah, GaGa” gurgles, followed by Lady GaGa singing in a deep, tough voice. The music is subtle, with a hefty drumbeat and subtle keyboards for an eerie feel. The song certainly picks up during the chorus, becoming more poppy with Lady GaGa singing in a lighter tone, matched to lighter music.
.Grum Remix
Grum does a great turn on the song. He leaves out the creepy gurgles and focuses on the poppier side of the music while simultaneously adding his thick electronic tweaks. They come in fast forms and slow, churning, thick forms. He adds to the song rather than altering it much, highlighting its better parts to something more suited for normal people.
.Starsmith Remix
The Starsmith remix is the most dancey of all of them and only because it’s the quickest. It features 80s sci-fi laser sounds, plenty of synths, electro pops and light percussion. It speeds through rather fast till the end, wear it slows for a typical trance build up, bursting into an odd rap.
.Hercules & Love Affair Remix
Hercules & Love Affair turn this into a style that is a complete aesthetic of what they do. They slow it down, bring it to a walking pace of cool disco and funk beats. The one bubbling bass line pours throughout the song, added by light xylophone taps. The mix really showcases Lady GaGa’s vocals as they are louder than anything else in the mix. It’s a softer and perhaps more pleasant working.
