Rico Esteban analyzes each song BTW

Since the release of their debut album "The Fame" in the middle of 2008, Lady GaGa has been on everyone's lips. Started small, making a path among the many stars over the past 26 years have attempted to punch the scepter of Queen of Pop at first looked like a heap, with his catchy debut single "Just Dance" that slowly was climbing the world rankings until the first since simultaneously in the U.S. and the UK in January 2009.

Just with his second single, "Poker Face", the world started paying attention to this little girl Italian-American born and prominent nose Stefani Angelina Joanne Germanotta. Almost three years after its appearance on the market, Lady GaGa has already been established as the most popular pop singer in recent times by dint of talent, loud, catchy hits, extravagant costumes and hard work.

After the success of "The Fame" and the EP "The Fame Monster" (2009), Gaga announced in September last year following the release of their album that would pretentiously titled "Born This Way" (see video). The title track to the album was promoted by the singer as the gay anthem of the millennium. When the track finally opened in February, voices were raised regarding the similarity of the song with the hit "Express Yourself" Madonna Despite the controversies, the single reached number one in 19 countries.

"Born This Way", the album will be released worldwide next week, but for those who are curious about the new songs sound of Lady GaGa, then you will find a small review track-by-track of them.

The CD opens with "Marry The Night", a dance track with an explosive chorus and a quasi-trance synths GaGa and written by Fernando Garibay Mexican producer with whom the singer had already collaborated on "The Fame Monster". Next is the song that gives title track which you probably already heard, no matter if you're gay, straight or bi, lesbian or trans, black, white, beige or chola, Lebanese or Middle Eastern.

"Government Hooker" begins with an operatic voice that echoes the singer's name, followed by a repetitive sound like something out of a game. "I can be good, unless you want it to be bad ... if it is your prostitute" GaGa sings his object of desire. Male robotic vocals give it a dark touch to the third song on the album. Many "bleeps" can be heard on some words at the end, which means that the version we had heard is censored. "Judas" (see video) is the second single from the album, which was not receiving expected despite the dye pseudo-scandal of its lyrics and music video. The strange Jamaican accent with which the verses Germanotta phrasing is a bit confusing. The chorus, however GaGa is a real trademark.

"American" Latin pastiche is inevitable that all the pop divas feel compelled to write at some point in their careers, better or worse luck. A kind of tarantella canzonetta mixed with an electronic rhythm GaGa background and singing in a mock accent cocoliche things like "the bells are ringing ... all boys and boys are kissing" in Castilian. Perhaps the lowest point of "Born This Way."

"Hair" (see video) is one of the two songs (besides the two singles), which officially went on sale on iTunes before the release of the CD. Another topic a bit too noisy on the album, which collaborates Clarence Clemons, saxophonist of the E Street Band Bruce Sprinsgteen. "I'm as free as my hair," Germanotta sings in the chorus with a piano arpeggios that refer to ABBA. And if you like listening to Cyndi Lauper at the end of the song, you were wrong, is putting GaGa silly little girl voice.

"I do not speak German, but I can if you want," the singer recites the principle of "Scheiße" before starting to rap in the Germanic language. A synthesizer that looks like something out of a 2-hit of the 90 Unlimited voice accompanies GaGa before the appearance of a sublime chorus.How to lower the decibels a bit, followed by "Bloody Mary", an electronic ballad that is perhaps one of the weaknesses of the album. The mid-tempo ballads or not the specialty of the New Yorker, but this song is an improvement compared with crap like "Again Again" and "Brown Eyes" included in "The Fame".

"Bad Kids", despite its title, is one of the hidden gems of the CD, although it seems out of the discography of Miley Cyrus. However, the chorus is catchy as honey and caramel GaGa vocal performance is a delight. "Highway Unicorn (Runway To Love)" would be something like "Poker Face", part two. In the recent HBO special issued by her "Monster Ball", the singer presented the issue as "the song that changed my life," so it's understandable he wanted to make a sequel. The chorus seems to come from one of those hair-metal bands of 80, as Poison, Bon Jovi, Starship and Heart.

"Heavy Metal Lover" does not protrude too, is another project of electronic mid-tempo anthem for those who can see that you go GaGa easy. To continue with the theme, "Electric Chapel" begins with a guitar riff that could easily belong to a hit by Van Halen. As the beat starts and his voice becomes another pop number that does not stand out much compared to the best songs.

"You & I" is the ballad of "Born This Way." GaGa fans know her for a while, since the singer was included in the setlist of the last shows of her "Monster Ball." The CD version was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, producer famous for his work with Def Leppard, Bryan Adams and especially for having made famous (and horny) to his ex-wife, Shania Twain. "You & I" would be the improved version of "Speechless", the other pseudo-rock ballad included in "The Fame Monster." Another special guest on this song is the legendary Queen guitarist Brian May.

"Born This Way" closes with "The Edge of Glory" (see video), the third single which was released on iTunes last week. GaGa was saved at the neckline a brilliant pop song to close their second LP. The chorus is a collector and the syncopated rhythm leaves a sour feeling in the listener after a time to fill your ears with the magic of the superstar who has returned his soul to the body to those who believed that the grand pop was dead.
