Lady Gaga is something of an unstoppable pop machine at the moment. Having dominated 2009 with arguably some of the decades best pop songs (Alright 'Poker Face'? How ya' doin 'Bad Romance'? the Lady shows absolutely no sign of slowing down the momentum as we enter the...Teenies (seriously SOMEONE, ANYONE come up with a better name for the upcoming decade before I have to end it all now)
Whilst still riding exceptionally high on the success of her 'Fame Monster' album re-release, fans of The Ga were treated to newly leaked (and fully polished) demo tracks in the form of the 'Kandy Life' EP which surfaced in the run-up to Christmas via fansite Gagafrontrow.net Featuring on the 2007 demo disc is the titular 'Kandy Life', a 'My Boy Lollipop' sampling ode to the familar topics of fame, money and the reaping of the rewards which come with it. Whilst this is by no means new territory for The Ga, it's a pleasant enough ditty, with an ear pleasing instrumental and catchy hook.
Kandy Life
Also making a welcome inclusion is the track 'Wonderful', an aptly titled soulful love song only previously available in extremely low quality MP3 form. In my humble (coff) opinion, this track forms Gaga's strongest ballad and quite frankly throws later efforts (Im looking at you 'Speechless') far far into the shade.
Wonderful
Another nice little touch for the Gaga Fanatics are alternate demo versions of 'The Fame' tracks 'Brown Eyes' 'Beautiful Dirty Rich' and 'Disco Heaven' which contain slightly tweaked differences to their eventually comercially released counterparts.
