While she is currently on her Born This Way tour, Lady Gaga has already completed her third album.
Mother Monster surprised her army of little monsters the world over with a Twitter announcement earlier today, saying she already played material from the album for record execs. Gaga also revealed that she plans to reveal the album's title in September, two years after she unveiled Born This Way at the MTV Video Music Awards.
It'll be interesting the see what direction Gaga will take with her third studio effort. After treading in the dance-pop kiddie pool with her 2008 debut The Fame, she went bigger and more huge industrial with The Fame Monster before diving into the pummeling currents of the Europop-meets-80's-pop-meets-hard rock ocean with Born This Way. Too much on the water metaphor? Maybe, but work with me people! Each release has plunged her deeper and deeper into eletro and dance, with good results for the most part.
Though I will admit the non-stop thumping bass on Born This Way did wear on my ears a bit, and while "You and I" and "Speechless" were catchy and cute, both of them seemed too campy, too purposely "bluesy bar band" to truly move me. But perhaps her new album will see her moving away from clubland and four-on-the-floor beats into a new musical space. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
What sound, or even aesthetic, do you hope Gaga goes for this go around?
