Popular culture … a world that makes pure sense…. Or does it?
Two of the biggest names in pop music drop tracks within the span of 13 hours of each other!
Is it rivalry? Is it a battle for pop supremacy?
Queens of pop: though creatively and stylistic different, suspiciously both tracks leaked on the same day! Each track representing something true to their artist - Roar goes for lyrical uplift, Applause hits with sonic heft.
Gaga, in her classic defiance of the norm was last week filmed nude in a bizarre Kickstarter video for the Marina Abramovic Institute. The Lead single from the fourth album Applause is a tad different from Gaga’s previously releases – singing the verses in an almost stiff, half spoken manner, though chorus kicks in and you can feel the energy of the song build.
Perry on the other hand revealed album PRISM on a GOLD PLATTED truck – No small announcement that made its way around the states. Roar the first single from the artist since her divorce from Russell Brand, sending a lyrically empowering tune with a killer hook in the chorus.
A little bit of pop competition never hurt anyone though the Little Monsters and the Katy Cats may have already chosen sides? The pop world just got a little more exciting.
