LADY GAGA PREMIERES SHORT FILM FOR G.U.Y.

Lady Gaga is doing a very smart thing with her new video for G.U.Y. She is basically rebooting ARTPOP and going for it big time. Since leaving her longtime manager right on the eve if releasing ARTPOP, things have not gone well. The promo for the album was a mess and album sales have been less than stellar. No video was released for second single Do What U Want, or at least never materialized, which certainly limited its success and many assumed that was the end of the ARTPOP era. Well Gaga is not giving up that easy. With the release of this video, which also features three other songs from the album (ARTPOP, Venus and MANiCURE, Gaga is re-introducing ARTPOP and possibly giving it another life. Starting off with Gaga as an angel shot down to earth and wandering to safety, the video really takes off when Venus kicks in and Gaga and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Andy Cohen (as GOD) are hosting a pool party at the Hearst mansion. What? Yes, you read that right. Lisa Vanderpump and the gang are in the video!! Anyway, the rest is a feast for the eyes. Here's hoping this reboot pays off. ARTPOP is really a very, very good album and G.U.Y. is and  excellent song. Watch the video below, directed by Gaga herself. A return to form, I think.

NEW LADY GAGA VIDEO AND SINGLE COMING IN "3.5" DAYS

Lady Gaga has announced via her twitter that she has a new single/video coming out soon. There was no video ever released for second single Do What U Want. Reports surfaced that the video for that song was so disturbing that her label refused to release it. One thing that is reported to be part of the video is R. Kelly grabbing a bottle of ARTPOP bbq sauce and pretending to pee on Gaga. I mean, I would like to see that. Sounds fun......ish. Anyhoo!!! We know from early ARTPOP interviews that Gaga already had a video ready for Venus, so it could be that song and video which would sit well with me. I love that song. Looking over fan reaction on twitter it looks like most want Gypsy or G.U.Y. which are both amahzing. I would love for it to be the title track. Either way, I hope Gaga can pull it together a bit after her letting that chick vomit on her at SXSW and before the ARTPOP Ball kicks off.

I'm so excited for you to see the new video! 3.5 days! Can anyone guess the #NextARTPOPSingle

LADY GAGA RELEASES THIRD TRACK FROM ARTPOP. LISTEN TO FULL VERSION OF VENUS

Here is the third full track released from Lady Gaga's upcoming album ARTPOP, Venus. You can get the track and pre-order the album HERE. Also, she has released more artwork (like the one included here) for the single. There is another, much more disturbing one HERE. Anyhoo, Venus is a high energy, campy dance track and I quite like it. How campy, one might ask? Well here is a sample lyric, "Uranus. DON'T YOU KNOW MY ASS IS FAMOUS?" Gold. Based on the material already released from the album, I am really excited about ARTPOP and can't wait for it's November 11th release. Listen.

NEW LADY GAGA SNIPPET FROM ARTPOP: VENUS

Lady Gaga has released yet another snippet from her upcoming album ARTPOP, this time in the form of Venus. The track is a thumping dance number that was originally slated to be the official second single from ARTPOP, but was replaced by Do What U Want (ft. R. Kelly), but Lady Gaga assures her fans, via twitter, that Venus will be released as scheduled on November 28th and will "STILL have its own video". The lyrics in the 40 second clip reveal a lot about Gaga's recent costume choices, "Aphrodite lady, seashell bikini, garden panty. Venus". So there's that. Gaga plans a series of different cover art for the song shot by Steven Klein. All right, listen to Venus and dowload it on Monday. ARTPOP, again, is out November 11th.
