Lady Gaga: The Fame Monster

LADY GAGA RETURNS WITH 8 NEW SONGS ON THE FAME MONSTER

Lady Gaga will release The Fame Monster on Nov 23rd. The album will include the 4 million-selling album The Fame, along with eight entirely new songs. The Fame Monster (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope Records), deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of her last history-making year.

Says Lady Gaga, "On The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my ‘Fear of Sex Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Alcohol Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Love Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Death Monster,’ my ‘Fear of Loneliness Monster,’ etc.”

“I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, ‘Speechless,’ a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."

The Fame Monster is a two-disc set with artwork shot by renowned fashion designer and photographer Hedi Slimane. The release will see two iconic covers – one limited to an initial run of 10,000 copies. A super-deluxe magazine-style edition will release on December 15th just in time for the holidays, including extra elements and never-before-seen photos of Lady Gaga: from the artist herself and loyal fans worldwide.

“Bad Romance” is the first club-banging single produced by RedOne. Included in the eight new songs is a duet with superstar Beyonce, the Rodney Jerkins-produced “Telephone.” Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.
