Lady Gaga New Album 2013 Release Date and Tracklist: Singer Reveals New Songs at iTunes Festival
Lady Gaga's new album, Artpop is set to be released on November 11; and while that may be too far off for excited fans, Mother Monster didn't want to disappoint her legion of followers by performing some of her new tracks at the recent iTunes Festival held at Camden's Roundhouse in London.
Among the song she performed from Artpop included "Aura", "MANiCURE", "ARTPOP", "Jewels and Drugs", "Sex Dreams", "Swine", "I Wanna Be With You" and "Applause."
Kicking off the iTunes Festival, Lady Gaga delivered a spectacular show with plenty of spectacle, wigs and costume changes. Huffington Post reports that the 70-minute set that she prepared for her fans didn't disappoint, with "Aura" as her opening number. Mother Monster emerged from the center of the venue wearing a black suit, and then later stripping down to her underwear for the performance of the song "Manicure."
The intriguing twist in this Gaga performance is that every costume change is done onstage, so that fans get a rare glimpse of how Stefani Germanotta becomes Lady Gaga.
Putting on a huge blonde wig, Mother Monster promised the audience that they would be, "making love in this space tonight," before performing the song "Artpop" - the title track from her album. As she sang the line "My Artpop could mean anything," fans were in a Fame Monster trance.
The most emotional moment of her performance was when the singer took off her wig and rendered a monologue about "the human beneath the wigs," as reported by NME.
Lady Gaga's performance certainly ignited her artist credence once more, amid the lukewarm reception of her newly-released single "Applause." With the vibrant collection of new tracks that she showcased, the "Born This Way" singer certainly proved her pop stardom, at the same time revealing an evolved artist behind each song.
The iTunes Festival 2013 features performances by Katy Perry, Pixies, Arctic Monkeys, Justin Timberlake and Haim at the Camden Roundhouse in London.
