While writing my post about Carbon Leaf I stumbled onto Lady Gaga at a site called PureVolume. She has a retro pop sound that made me first think of Pink. I listened to “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich”, you can hear the attitude in her voice and lyrics, with the rhythms flowing around you and the piano she plays - brings it all up a level. You realize that this kid has sweet skills.
She has ears made of classic-rock, a voice of the 60s, the moves of a Brit-Disco queen, and a heart made of doo-wop and strawberry milkshakes. -from her MySpace page
With “Shake Ure Kitty” playing I started searching for where to buy her album and ran into Rebecca G. Jones of Audio Intercourse and her take on Lady Gaga. She hasn’t posted anything recently, but I like her review.
I’ve listened to all of Lady Gagas music that I can find, on MySpace and PureVolume. There’s very little information about her online, most of the pages refer to the sites already mentioned. One of which states she’s signed with Sony, but I’d assume the music already online could be purchased somewhere, so far no luck finding it.
She’s playing Tuesday in New York and I’m wishing I could be there to check her out live.

I hate to say you were right, but she’s awesome. I really liked Toy Soldier, too. If you get a chance, you should download some of their stuff for me. I’ll burn you an Avril Lavigne CD in return…
Avril Lavigne is not my cup o tea. You can’t even put her on the same level with Lady Gaga. She’s like what you give for a crappy stocking stuffer.
[...] I’m loath to link to a MySpace page, but I’ve done it once for Lady Gaga and I find this music worthy enough for another bending of the rules. Listen to After Dark here. [...]
Hey,
Thanks for linking my old music blog. I would have liked to review more music, but I had no time and I felt that my reviews were kind of half-hearted. The Lady Gaga review was my favorite, and unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to be as passionate about music reviewing as I wanted to.
I have a personal blog (though my domain is currently defunct and I sort of lost my password to renew it), but the point was to say thanks, yo.
Also, on Purevolume, a blog was once posted that said that Lady Gaga’s album comes out in May, so I guess more information will be posted then… or something.
Lady Gaga had a production deal with Sony. She is now signed with Island Def Jam and has been working on a full length album– like Rebecca said, hopefully to be released this summer. Unfortunately now, there is no way to purchase the music online, it’s only on myspace and purevolume!
