Lady Gaga has been causing a major buzz on the music scene. 'Just Dance' has been number one in 6 countries and has received platinum status in 5. Now releasing her album 'The Fame' is she ready to take over the pop scene that seems to be full of reality TV contestants?
Its safe to say the album is definelty for the clubs. Pratically every track is about being rich and getting 'crunk' in clubs. So I guess we know what direction she's going for hear. It's the kind of music that Paris Hilton will love and shout 'that's hot' at every track, maybe it has to do with their high school since they went to the same one, but who knows. Nevertheless, this isn't an 'amazing album', lyrically she gets boring and just random. What kind of lyrics has 'No he can't read my poker face(She's got to love nobody)', it makes no sense! She seems to be talking about rich girl's lifestyle and how it rocks because all they do is go clubbing and chace after boys. Hmm, so I guess universal appeal for this album is crossed out.
One positive about this album is the background tracks, which what got me interested into listening to this album since I heard 'Just Dance'. She does mix a lot of genres together with electro being the primary one. And in most occasions, it works, Gaga really knows how to get an addictive beat from the keyboards and it makes the songs more tolerable to listen to. 'Paper Gangsta' has a really cool beat to with a very futuristic sound to it, 'Summerboy' has cool guitar riff to it which gives a nice rock edge to the album, whilst still making it an interesting dance tune. 'Boys Boys Boys' is a very sexy song, her vocals really much the sound, but the words doesn't sound as fresh as her tunes does.
In conclusion, well, the tracks music are great, but her lyrics really affects the album in a negative way. Only girls who are rich and wishing to be rich at all costs would like this albums in it entirety, for the rest, you kinda wish Gaga just made a dance instrumental album without the lyrics. She needs a lot of work, which can be done if she focuses on her improving her lyrics, maintaining her fresh dance sound and doesn't get stigmatised as a party girl (which she has already shown signs of just by hanging out with Paris Hilton earlier this week). In all honesty I think Gaga can become a well acomplished dance act and here's hoping she does :)
