“She's even crazier and more fashionable than Gwen Stefani, can be as rock & roll as Amy Winehouse, lays down a beat that will get the dance floor moving like Rihanna, loves pop melodies and glitter like Abba...Her album The Fame is what Madonna should have made...” If you're into clubbing in New York's Lower East Side, you've certainly come across this young Italian-American performer, a music enthusiast and a fan of David Bowie and Queen (she takes her name from the song “Radio Ga Ga”). Lady Gaga is undeniably a queen. A showgirl, she made a name for herself in clubs with her infectious tracks and wild, theatrical, trash-glamorous, and uninhibited "shock art" performances. The lady dances, sings, plays the synth, moonlights as a DJ, and turns every venue she visits upside down. She even ends her show suspended from a disco ball to the music of A Clockwork Orange. It was in this unusual setting that she met Akon and RedOne (who produced hits for Kat Deluna, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Michael Jackson...). Astonished by her personality, they decided to sign her to Konlive (Akon's label) / Interscope and produce her debut album. The Fame is the title of this album with Pop, Dance, Rock, and Urban sounds. "My goal as an artist is to deliver a pop album in an innovative way," says Lady Gaga, who wrote all her lyrics, composed all the melodies, and played most of the synth parts. Just Dance, the first single, is a unanimous success! A real hit on dance radio in the US and throughout Europe (Top 20 of European airplay), the track is 20th in radio airplay in France, in heavy rotation on both NRJ and Fun Radio. The music video is played massively by all music channels, and the single is already in the Top 15 for downloads and ringtone sales! The video has been viewed more than 200,000 times on DailyMotion in just one month. The Fame is shaping up to be a big album with no less than 5 potential hits!
