Gaga premieres Perfect Illusion



Lady Gaga has strutted back onto the pp landscape with the rousing Perfect Illusion. The track has been met with a glowing response from her legion of fans.The lead single from her upcoming fifth album has , as expected , topped the iTunes charts in over 60 countries.

The track itself is not as instant as some of her more famous lead singles. Whereas some of her past tracks could have done with some editing , Perfect Illusion is solid , disco rock stomper with a chorus that becomes more deeply engrained with very listen. It's punchy with a remarkably strong vocal from Gaga. With shades both sonically and lyrically of her past work rooted within the track , it shows a definite evolution from ARTPOP. And hints  at a rockier direction. The track was co -produced by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker , and his influence is a welcome one.


Gaga was quickly on the promotional trail in London today , appearing on BBC Radio 1 , Heart FM  and Capital FM. She revealed that her as yet untitled fifth album WILL be released later this year. We would anticipate an early to mid November release , three years after ARTPOP. And the list of collaborators for album five is mouth watering ad far different than expected.

Gaga has revealed she has recorded a duet with Florence Welch , which could be  musical match ade in heaven.
Other collaborators include Father Misty John , Beck and Queens Of The Stone Ages Josh Homme. It promises to be an intriguing listen. One thing you never get with a Gaga record is a dull moment.
