I have that feeling the problem was Interscope in some sort of level. I don't know the level of freedom she had over her material with them, but her previous catalogue feels more cohesive and professional, despite not enjoying HC that much.
I only care about how the music she's releasing impacts me and if it's good enough for me to keep listening to it. I don't need another B-Day Song, Autotune Baby, Sex, Body Shop. I want Hung Up level of content.
I was not aware of that, I like how satisfying the beat of Moments in Love is.

Edit:
Someone made a mashup with both songs on SoundCloud and is really great!
She's so iconic and visionary by doing that. Gen Z (and the world) would be shaking if she released that today.
Her face, her eye expression. It's just too amazing. Pure art.
I think the IC edit just feels right. Like the song meant to be like that since the beginning. And the original feels like a demo to me. Not that is bad, far from that. But not as good, for my taste.
