You would think that after kicking off an extensive 100+ date tour last month that's supposed to last well into 2013 that Lady Gaga would take a moment to collect herself right? Well think again. Word on the street is that Mother Monster has already finished her follow-up to Born This Way, and her label is looking to unleash that beast in September.
“Exciting news little monsters! I’ve played my new record for my label and will be announcing my new Album Title in September!” she tweeted to her 25 million followers Friday (June 8).
Here's what Gaga's manager Vincent Herbert had to say: “It’s just gonna be a great record. Look out for the unexpected when it comes to her. So I’m excited… We’re [recording] it on the road right now, so it’s a little hard. But it’s gonna be great.”
Biased much Vince? While it may be exciting news for her little monsters, as well as the people who are on her payroll, and it has been great that she's kept a low profile, I am quite concerned for her. Overworking yourself will cause severe burnout and we all know when you did The Moster's Ball and dropped Born This Way around the time you were still on your first tour, how much of a mixed bag that album turned out to be. I understand in this microwave society in which we live you have to release a new album every six weeks to get ahold of your younger fans' attention spans (thanks Rihanna and Beyonce), but an uninspired rushed album does not a successful album make.
Even Elton John, aka her #1 Stan is concerned for his child's godmother: ”I look at Gaga and I think, ‘How does she do it?’” he told The Guardian. “I talk to her mum and dad about it. They worry.”
“She is frail, and she doesn’t eat when she should do, and she’s a girl, and it’s tougher for a girl,” he continues. “She works really hard. She will be in Denmark one night and Saudi Arabia the next. I know how tiny she is and I do worry about her, yes.”
I look at Gaga as someone who was so desperate to succeed as a singer and did whatever she had to do at all costs to get there, including pander to the gays, raid Roisin Murphy's and Grace Jones' closet, and tell her "little monsters" that they are all that matters to her whenever she makes music. She almost comes across at times like a creepy cult leader, but like I said before if she's physically or mentally burnt out, what good is she to her fans if she's barely able to perform...or worse! Well at least she has her boyfriend actor Taylor Kinney (whom Us Weekly is reporting she's back together with) to make sure she eats until his new series begins shooting
