Both Government Hooker and Bloody Mary and the dark, haunting and controversial tracks on this album. The haunting chants, choir singers and slow, low-pitched tempo in Bloody Mary match the songs religious theme and the opera-like singing at the beginning of Government Hooker give it a dark aura.

Gaga is famed for her controversial songs and video’s, so fans of this side of her will enjoy Government Hooker. With the daring lyrics “Put your hands on me John F. Kennedy, I’ll make you squeal baby, as long as you pay me.” the song is sure to cause a stir, and the with Twitter fans voting it be the next song to be released, the video will be greatly anticipated.

Marry The Night describes Gaga’s love of the night and the life it offers, and with it’s fast, up-beat tempo it will become your night out anthem and allow you to re-live the good times over and over again.

Typical of Gaga’s albums, Born This Way features piano driven love song. You and I speaks about someone she names only as ’Nebraska’ and speaks of how he is her true love and of all the meaningful times they have shared.

This is a refreshing song as it sees Gaga step away from metaphors and hypotheses and just say it how it is, simply singing about her feelings. You can’t help but love it when you’ve heard it, with it’s rock-power ballad qualities, it expresses the feelings of longing, heartbreak and love and will allow many people to relate to Gaga.

Compared to previous albums, Born This Way is much more electro-dance orientated and has many more religious connotations, and although you may not like her, Lady Gaga is leading the way in terms of music. She recently hit over 1 billion views on YouTube and this album is expected to knock Adele’s 21 of the top spot and proceed to break many more records in the coming weeks.

Overall, this is a great album, with a different song for every mood you‘d be crazy not to like at least one track. The catchy beats and vibrant lyrics will have you going ga ga for Gaga after the first listen and you’ll be singing away without even being aware of it. 

The only letdowns are Americano and Scheisse. Americano is too much like a hardcore dance track that you would find on Clubland and the likes and Scheisse is ruined by the snippets of German and hardcore synthesised beats, they both sound like they’ve been heavily remixed by DJ’s along the coasts of Ibiza.

It’s hard to image how Lady Gaga is going to outdo herself in the future, but in a recent interview on Channel 4’s T4 she said that she had most definitely not hit her peak and that she has lots more to give. 

With millions of Little Monster followers, it looks as though Mother Monster could be headed for world domination so watch this space and remember, keep those paws up.
