OMGAGA, what do we have here?!
Lady Gaga's re-release her hugely successful album
The Fame, now evolved into
The Fame Monster, has been tightly under wraps until now! We have received an advanced copy of the album and we.are.in.LOVE!
The "new" album features 8 songs from the pop icon, each very different from the next, as was showcased in
The Fame. Though the most instant comparison might be to
Madonna (and why not, Madonna's done just about everything), this supplement is pure pop paradise. Do not get confused, this is not the bubble gum pop of old; Gaga translates a very modern, electronic, and intense sound to her audience driven by sharp lyrical content and, let's be real, a huge production value. Though at times it may feel like the songs are over produced, we're willing to forgive the barrage of sound by comparing it to Gaga herself: a loud, larger than life presence with an ever evolving character.
I have to say that my favorite of the tracks are "So Happy I Could Die", "
Bad Romance", "Telephone", "Teeth", and "Monster". Don't get me wrong, "Alejandro" and "Dance in the Dark" are great and "Speechless" is endearing, but I feel Gaga's most in her element with the a fore mentioned five songs.
The Fame Monster will be available in stores on 11/23/09, and you can catch Lady Gaga in concert as she launches her second tour:
