LADY GAGA is so damn infectious...it really is difficult to detach one's self from her hypnotizing eccentricities. Her style is curiously sexy and her music possesses a magnetic field that sucks you in as a whole, fighting with you if you even dare to ignore it. LADY GAGA achieved her "..."Fame" with a debut album that has so far sold four million copies worldwide. She also holds the record for most singles from a debut album to consecutively reach the top of the Pop charts...so what's next on her agenda? Well...a groundbreaking world tour...and a re-release of her debut album that is on almost everyone's wishlist.
So that we're ALL clear... "The Fame Monster" will be released in THREE different formats. The "Standard Edition" will be an extended play album only featuring the EIGHT new songs. The "Deluxe Edition" will feature the new material ALONG with her original debut album "The Fame" ...and the "Super Deluxe Fame Monster Pack" is a box set that features several interesting elements including a lock of LADY GAGA's hair. If you ask me, the new material on "...Monster" is electrifying. She teams up again with RedOne on the lead single "Bad Romance" and a couple of other songs. As if she needed to do it again, LADY GAGA collaborated with Beyonce on the song "Telephone" ...a less dirty version compared to the extended mix of "Video Phone". The actual standout tracks for me are the Teddy Riley-produced track "Teeth" (You know...Teddy Riley...from BLACKStreet... "No Diggity, no doubt, uh!" Yeah, him...) and "Dance in the Dark" ...which has an element that sounds really close to George Michael's "Careless Whisper" introduction.
There's no question in my mind that LADY GAGA will have a LONG career ahead of her. And she did the right thing...she released a "re-release" that contains more than two songs! (Take a mental note, Beyonce...that's why I'm not reviewing YOUR twentieth re-release today!) I'm already anticipating what her sophomore album will sound like if "The Fame Monster" is any indication what direction she's headed in.
Songs that I Absolutely Enjoyed from the Album:
