Lady Gaga thrills fans, releases a new album
Print Edition
Multi-platinum selling singer Lady Gaga electrified several thousand handpicked groupies with a live performance at the Brooklyn docks, kicking off the global release yesterday of her third album.
Strutting and writhing across the stage dressed in a white leotard and white wig, Gaga late on Sunday performed tracks from her new album “Artpop,” launched in collaboration with US artist Jeff Koons.
Fans in fishnets, men in sequined drag and lipstick, girls in stilettos, gay men in platforms, older men in kilts and the odd grandmother, the crowd was as eclectic as they were die-hard Gaga fans, mobbing her with cell phone cameras and dancing madly.
“Artpop” signals a return to the limelight for Stefani Germanotta, the 27-year-old privately educated New Yorker best known as Lady Gaga, after she was forced to tone down her wall-to-wall engagements to undergo hip surgery.
She has collaborated with several world famous contemporary artists, including Koons, who portrayed her as a post-modern Botticellian Venus for the album artwork.
“I just want 11/11 to be a time for us all to really open our minds and project a brand-new future in communication, in technology, in visual art,” Gaga said in reference to the date.
“Artpop” is a return to the synthpop of Gaga’s massively successful 2008 debut album “The Fame” after she experimented with other styles on her second album, “Born This Way.”
Critics gave the album only lukewarm reception.
