Lady Gaga’s new album release “The Fame Monster” will not disappoint her adoring fans. Though originally it was supposed to be a repackaged “deluxe” version of her first multi-million selling album “The Fame” debut, the eight new songs are so fantastic and completely off the wall that they need to be released in their own spotlight. So lucky us – we get the opportunity to welcome “The Fame Monster” into our homes this holiday season. So the question now is, are these new songs worth your holiday spending cash?

Absolutely.

No doubt everyone has heard the album’s single, “Bad Romance”, at least 20 times now playing on the radio, in clubs and probably in grocery stores. It’s heavy on the electropop beats that have become synonymous with Lady Gaga’s name. The music video for this song takes it to a new level of fun – particularly because you have no idea what’s going on. This video is the most bizarre visual work I’ve seen from Lady Gaga to date. Realistically, I could get nightmares from it. Sometimes you have to wonder how Lady Gaga comes up with the uber-artistic themes she finds for her videos that have only a glimmer of connection to the song. I’m pretty confident she doesn’t care at all and she just does what she likes. No wonder she’s worshiped as a diva.

If you like morbid-kooky fun, check out the “Bad Romance” video:

What are some other songs that are potential singles? “Monster” which is full of loud choruses and a has a Euro-trance pop style. There’s a deep male voice in the background that keeps repeating Lady Gaga is “hot as hell” which is always good to hear. The favorite imagery that comes up from this song is at the end where things get bloody. Lady Gaga says: “He tore my clothes right off/ He ate my heart and then he ate my brain.” And here we thought the song was just about a typical heart breaker. Lady Gaga never ceases to surprise.

Everyone is also raving about “Telephone” which is the big duet with Beyoncé. What’s Lady Gaga singing about? Her boyfriend keeps calling, but she can’t talk right now because she’s too busy drinking and dancing to her favorite song in the club. Are they deep lyrics? No. Do we care? Not really.

With her new album’s release Lady Gaga proves that she’s no one-hit wonder. Behind the over-the-top pop persona and outrageous fashion sense, Lady Gaga has a strong recognizable voice and experimental attitude. She’s an artist that will prove influential for years ahead, and her masses of adoring fans are sure to follow.
