Tiffany Young's "Run for your life" is basically a Lady Gaga song

First off, let's just stop playin' like Tiffany is gonna go back to Girls' generation. She ain't. Not when she's seeing she can get budgets in the US and studio time with big Pop producers. Those SM studio lot videos and Kenzie joints ain't gonna cut it for a bitch no more.

So, Tiffany is really still doing this Pop star thing in the US, huh?

Her first few songs, including "Magnetic moon" felt very much in the vein of what you'd expect a Girls' generation girl to do. Where-as this new joint "Run for you life" is what you'd expect from a Girls' generation girl who is trying to not be just a Girls' generation girl...but you could still imagine Girls' generation doing it. So basically, a bitch is still giving us Girls' generation.

Fucking hell, how many times have I said Girls' generation? I should have just Ctrl+C'd 'Girls' generation' instead of typing it out each damn time.

"Run for your life" sounds exactly alot like a Lady Gaga song circa The fame / Fame monster days. From the beat, to the lyrics, to the way Tiffany sings the damn thing.

Originality? She don't know her.

This isn't the biggest surprise given that the song is produced and co-written by Fernando Garibay, who had worked with Lady Gaga on The Fame monster and Born this way. But still.

Overall, I don't like this song. Tiffany emulating Lady Gaga is one thing, but the lack of a proper chorus is the real crime. The difference between Tiffany and Stefani is that Stefani would never have put a song out like this without a proper hook that people can sing along to. The verses have this nice underlying House vibe which make your shoulders bounce, and you think there's something big coming. And then...there's nothing. I'm truly baffled as to how at no point somebody didn't figure that the song needed an actual chorus. And it's such a fucking shame, because this song could have been a good gay-ass Halloween bop, even if it was just a Lady Gaga rip-off.

The music video was cute. Tiffany served every look and was clearly coming for the gays with femme male dancers, the Voguing elements in the choreo and the snatched body in the catsuit. But the video didn't have any real sense of life to it. It was just setups on a sound stage and Tiffany in a whole bunch of looks, and as a result it didn't feel all that different visually from "Magnetic moon", which had the same vibe. Anchoring a sense of location would have helped this. Put a bitch in a church. An actual warehouse. In some woods. In a field at night.

It's cool to see Tiffany pushing herself and trying different things, even if those things are other peoples things and things we'd seen her do as part of Girls' generation. But I do wonder if she'll ever truly find her own look and her own sound.
