APPLAUSE OUT TODAY

Picture from Gaga's twitter!

Today has marked a sad and genius day for little monsters and music lovers from all over the world. There have been extremely many leaks of snippets of "Applause" by Lady Gaga on the web, and today is the day Katy Perry's "Roar" has been released. And to stop all that leaking madness Gaga has taken her twitter and released "Applause" today!

Sorry Katy that Gaga stole all your thunder! Your song also is a good pop song, which I wanted to review today but now I will have to give Gaga the first and give "Roar" a shout out some other day!

Gaga announced the early release "Applause" on Twitter to be faster then these damn hackers! And man, was I mad at first! We could have also waited 7 more days, but apparently not. Good thing we still have the video coming out on the 19th! Lets get straight to the song now: It is a new Gaga, it is a new sound. The song basically is very clear, it is very disco, it is very 90's and very electronic but still radio friendly. It is very much how I expected it to be. It is less of a "rock-electro-pop" thing but rather an "electronic-disco-pop" sound.

Topic wise it is about the artist, that would be Lady Gaga in this case, lives for the applause, the appreciation of the fans. When she starts the song she sings that she waits for the fans to crash the critics. Very much Warhol! This song definitely befits the message of ARTPOP!  Then the song brilliantly goes on to say: "I overheared your theory, nostalgia's for geeks. I guess Sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read." What a great smash into the direction of research in art and referencing basically this could be Gaga's version o saying: "Go and pick up a book!" Directly afterwards she adds: "One second I'm a Koons fan (Jeff Koons, the pop artist), suddenly the Koons is me." Well that is actually true. Jeff Koons reproduces everyday products in glamorous ways and makes them icons. See the connection to Gaga?

I could go on, and fangurrl till you all fall dead, but that is basically the best pieces of the song. So just go and buy it and listen! Oh and the picture Gaga released along the release is amazing! Check it out above!
