The Fame: Monster is the title for the upcoming re-release of The Fame. Instead of working on a second album, Gaga decided to release new music to her fans. At first, she wanted to put six new songs around the end of 2009. This new theme started when Lady Gaga released a tweet saying only one word : "Monster" on May 22nd on her Twitter.
For an interview with the Daily Star, Gaga explained the concept of "Monster":
- “I have an obsession with death and sex.” Gaga says.“Those two things are also the nexus of horror films, which I’ve been obsessing over lately. I’ve been watching horror movies and 1950s science fiction movies. My re-release is called The Fame Monster so I’ve just been sort of bulimically eating and regurgitating monster movies and all things scary. I’ve just been noticing a resurgence of this idea of monster, of fantasy, but in a very real way.” Gaga adds to the Daily Star. “If you notice in those films, there’s always a juxtaposition of sex with death. That’s what makes it so scary. Body and mind are primed for orgasm and instead somebody gets killed. That’s the sort of sick, twisted psychological circumstance.”
According to MTV.com, the album will have two discs and will be released November 24 of 2009 in the US/UK and on november 18 in Japan. The lead single of this new edition isn't known to the public yet, the rumor of the song being "New York" is fake.
