Premiere: Lady GaGa - Dope

Ahh, this is Lady GaGa at her finest. Her new Artpop buzz track Dope tones down the distracting bells and whistles but keeps the drama intact in the best way possible. What's left is a great vocalist and pianist front and center singing passionately about being totally addicted to a special someone. After the Applause sugar rush we needed this sincerity. It's also great to hear that Speechless and Yoü and I now have a sibling to play with on the next tour! Listen below! Thoughts? Artpop is out on November 8th. 

Premiere: Lady GaGa - Venus

Lady GaGa just surprise premiered Venus, the third taster from her upcoming November 8th album release of Artpop. LG wrote this electro stomper with old pal DJ White Shadow and French wonder Madeon and produced it herself. We must say it's our favourite track from this era so far! It sounds refreshingly flirty and fun! Plus it's catchy as anything found on The Fame without looking back one bit. We'd loved this to have been the lead Artpop single, but so happy it at least premiered before the album dropped. Now we're excited! PS. How scary is that Steven Klein single artwork? All in the name of ART, darling!  

Premiere: Lady GaGa Feat. R.Kelly - Do What U Want

Lady GaGa is gearing up for the November 8th release of her Artpop album with some thong artwork and R.Kelly duet realness! Do What U Want is considered a promo single and on it LG snears at her critics. Last night she shared some epic links on twitter leading up to this morning's single release. The track is a slinky 80's tinged R&B jam filled with dark synths and overdubs. It's doing it's job right for sure - raising the curiosity what the full album will sound like. That thong artwork though, we cannot even... 

Lady GaGa VS. Madonna - Applause Gone Wild

Part of the internet pointed fingers a few weeks ago that Lady GaGa's Applause has a synth hook that reminds of MDNA's Girl Gone Wild. The resemblance wasn't something that screamed in our ears as they're pretty standard EDM but when hearing the two mashed they do go awfully well toghether. That's not a bad thing, but we think both tracks are a bit reductive in terms of pushing dance music forward. Both artists know how to create way more memorable songs than those two singles for sure. The videos look good together as well so these ladiez definitely share some taste! Have a look below! Thoughts?

Video Premiere: Lady GaGa - Applause

Lady GaGa's Applause train is perhaps not gaining as much speed as anticipated by her monsters. After peaking at #2 on iTunes US it's currently langushing at #8. Charts are not something to stare blindly at so let's focus on the video! Directed by Inez & Vinoodh it kinda reminds us of GaGa's very own Alejandro video. Intercepting are some classic clown acts and a very insteresting looking bird. Ya'll have to take a look below. Let's see if this baby can do wonders for the single's chart position! Are you clapping your hands raw? Update: And 8 hours later Applause is up to #4 on iTunes. Makes sense as LG is such a visual artist!
