Surprise Surprise, I’m doing a CD review of Lady Gaga’s new extended version of The Fame, called The Fame Monster.
The Fame Monster, which is an extended version of Gaga’s original The Fame, still contains the singles Poker Face, Paparazzi, and Just Dance, but also brings new hits such as Bad Romance and Alejandro.
These new songs (8 in total), are not another direction for Gaga but another level. They perfectly compliment the original album and add more brilliance to what it already was.
Bad Romance was the first single of the new addition, that features a catchy chorus, intense beats, and power vocals.
Another hit is titled Alejandro. It’s extremely reminiscent of Ace of Base, which apparently Gaga said she drew her inspiration from.
Personally, my favourite track is Speechless. Being one of her only ballads, it delivers a message of sadness but still a message of power. Seeing it performed live via TV (and in person in a week!), is and will be an incredible experience.
Many people doubted that Lady Gaga could recreate what she had done originally with The Fame, but she has more than proven that she is a consistent driving force in today’s music scene.
