Lady GaGa - Hair

Hot off her past releases, Judas and Edge of Glory, Lady GaGa once again delivers a new single off her next album, in the form of "Hair". Musically, the song is nothing special, with interesting saxophone pieces accompanying a catchy pop piano medley. What sets "Hair" apart from GaGa's other songs, is the message. She says that she is "as free as her hair" and wants to "die living just as free as her hair". Her past songs have more been about relationships, and "Hair" is different because it expresses her freedom and individuality more. It's a good song, with a good message, but don't expect it to blow you away.

Lady Gaga - Judas

Yep...Lady Gaga's got a new single. And the title? Judas. That's right, Judas, that evil man from the Bible. And apparently she's in love with him.

The song is downright catchy, just like all her previous songs, and it wouldn't be a Lady Gaga song without her repeating the title thousands of times in an auto-tuned fashion. All of her song elements are here, from a catchy chorus to an interesting hook, and it still feels the same as her old songs. I didn't feel like I was listening to a new song, just one from a recycled Gaga album. And she needs to make her listeners feel like they're not just listening to repeated songs from previous albums.

I'm only guessing here, but Judas sounds like she's repeating themes from previous songs. That is, that she is talking about how she is love with the wrong man, because Judas was the one whom betrayed Jesus Christ. This follows the "betrayal" pattern that we see in such songs as LoveGame and Bad Romance. I guess that this theme makes for good songs.

Judas is certainly a great song, with all of Lady Gaga's trademark beats and tunes in it, but it feels too much like her previous songs.
