Artist: Lady Gaga
Album: ARTPOP
And here we go...
Declaring a "pop emergency," Lady Gaga has decided to release her big new single a full week early due to the leaks that started this past weekend. And just so happens to throw her into a real head-to-head competition with Katy Perry. (coincidence?)
I'm reluctant to gush about "Applause" in the way I initially did with "Born This Way," but I'm also at about a dozen listens and it has finally all clicked with me... I think it's just sort of perfect. It's less weird and abrasive, yet totally Gaga. It's very very catchy but in a way that grows... starting with loving the pre-chorus "applause, applause, applause..." and then fully realizing the impact of the chorus. Looking forward to hearing this in a club or somewhere with people that know it.
It honestly didn't hit me as instantly as the leaked demo of new, possible ARTPOP track "Aura/Burqa" (see below) did, which might seem odd for a big comeback single, but that might also help it's longevity. Really interested to hear how the rest of the general public responds to this.
Love this as well:
So surprises here... WeCast is in love again.
Put your hands up, make them touch.
Enjoy.
Applause
