Dance-popSynth-popTechno

G.U.Y. is a Dance-pop and Synth-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Techno. Their sound grew out of Madonna, The Tony Rich Project, The Gap Band, David Bowie and Let's Stay Together. Those roots explain a lot about how G.U.Y. arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Artpop, Bad Romance and Born This Way, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jodeci, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 9 connections around G.U.Y., reaching back through Madonna and forward to Jodeci.

Background

It debuted on French radio as the album's third and final single on March 22, 2014. "G.U.Y." was developed while Gaga was touring with her Born This Way Ball, and was recorded a number of times for the final version. It is an EDM track containing elements of industrial, contemporary R&B, and house music whose lyrics address a number of subjects like sexual dominance, submission, and gender roles.
