Event Recap: Lady Gaga Listening Session
Last night Interscope Records was nice enough to invite us to a listening session for Lady Gaga's new album, The Fame Monster, and we, along with several other bloggers, and journalists, were able to preview it in its entirety.
If you were thinking about picking it up but wanted more info, check out our track by track commentary below:
1.) Bad Romance
This track is one that has been all over the internet, and one of the favorites off of the album because of the visuals in the video.
2.) Alejandro
We also placed this song on the site earlier. Gaga is really singing and showcasing her vocals in this Latin themed track about a love lost.
3.) Monster
This is definitely a hot dance track, and should be the next single. We could see this going off in a club in the meatpacking district.
4.) Speechless
This country influenced ballad somewhat put us to sleep, but again, shows that Gaga can really sing.
5.) Dance in the Dark
Another hot dance track, and one of the favorites in the room.
6.) Telephone (ft. Beyonce) - (Produced by Rodney "Darkchild Jerkins")
Another favorite of the room, obviously because of the powerful collaboration, but Beyonce was really only on the track for like two seconds. It was kind of like she spit a quick verse, and then went on about her business, however, its undeniable that both Bey and Gaga are unstoppable! Can't wait to see a video for this.
7.) So Happy I Could Die
The beat for this song was SICK, but that's about it.
8.) Teeth (Produced by Teddy Riley)
The first thing that came to our mind when this track came on was how random it was for Teddy Riley to have produced it. (Seriously, where has he been?) However, its one of the more "soulful" songs on the album, and it was definitely catchy.
Stand out tracks: Alejandro, Monster, Dance in the Dark and Telephone.
Lady Gaga may seem a bit crazy, but you can't deny that she makes hot music! Its not for everyone, but it is for us and we were sold!
Thanks to Interscope and ThinkTank Marketing for the invite and for the Gaga Beats by Dre headphones!
