Speed: 125 bpm
The DJ's Take: Kind of funky in a feminine way, with little hints of Super Freak. And considering all the talk on the web and all the YouTube hits in the past week, people are bound to know it, right? I do think there's a certain level of danceability, especially for women. However, I'd save Hard Out Here as an experimental track on a quiet night at your venue (assuming you have those). See if anyone's feeling it, and if not, abort the mission and go back into songs like Levels, Summertime Sadness and Good Feeling.
