This week's winner is incredibly original and fresh as it's been released at the end of the last month by no one else but Lady Gaga, the earth's new Queen.
The song is called Americano and is the fourth track out of her outstandingly excellent latest album Born Thus Way. The song encompasses some italian-inspired music trends, a growling chorus, a hint of humour and a funny story tale narrated by Lady Gaga herself. I LOVE IT!!! Not everybody will like this song as it's a bit bizarre and might even be quoted as anoying for people who won't be able to appreciate it but trust me, it'll sweep you off yo feet!
I got introduced to the song by Mike who had just bought the cd and made me listen to it when I slept at his place two weeks ago. He said he didn't like this song so much as he said it "sounded like a song you'd hear in a commercial extolling an Italian restaurant" lol!!! He said he could fairly easily imagine this song being the anthem for Da Giovanni restaurants lol! I agree with him but still admire Lady Gaga's genius to come up with zany ideas and songs like this! She's a hell of a contemporary artist. No wonder why so many people love her and adulate her! Lady Gaga is the shit, Amen!
The song is also a dedicate to her Italian roots and a sort of hymn to all the Italian-Americans who immigrated to the United States in the '50s and saw "America" as their home.
