Lady Gaga has finally dropped the first single from her upcoming album, yay!!! Well, she was pretty much forced to release it earlier than expected due to hackers leaking it over the weekend, so yeah.
"Applause" is an '80s-tastic, synth-heavy number that somehow harkens back to Gaga's debut album The Fame. Other than that, I feel like it's still a bit early for me to fully form an opinion. It didn't get me all bothered and hot like "Bad Romance" did back in 2009 (oh, the memories), but as far as I can tell, it's a grower. Being a longtime Gaga fan, it's needless to say that I'm dying to listen to ARTPOP. Although her previous offering, Born This Way, was somewhat polarizing, it still had some sick cuts—namely "Government Hooker," "Bad Kids," "Scheiße," "Heavy Metal Lover," and "Electric Chapel."
Does anyone know if "Burqa"/"Aura"/whatever-the-name-is will really be included on the album? I hope so, cuz I've been playing it nonstop since it came out.
Just a couple of reminders: The music video is set to premiere on August 19, and Gaga will be performing the song for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25! If you ask me, the VMAs have been painfully boring these last years, so I'm hoping Gagaloo will make it watchable again.
