House of Gaga has just premiered the official music video for Lady
Gaga’s single ‘Paparazzi’ and it is mesmerizing!
The single, due to be released on the 3rd of June, expresses today’s
obsession with fame and the idea of wooing the paparazzi.
The song, part of ‘The Fame’ album, is different to her last releases
- less dance more depth – Gaga (heavily influenced by Bowie) is in a more reflective mood with this tune, Its’ a more provocative with heavy synth sounds.
However it’s the video that has the biggest effect.
Directed by Jonas Akerlund the 8 minute film is a lavish effort.
Earlier this month GaGa described the music video as one of her most
genius works ever. In the video she depicts the ‘hyperbolic situations
that people will go to in order to be famous’, most specifically,
pornography and murder. These are some of the major themes in the
video.
It’s significance in the music video world is astounding and has set a
high standard for others to attempt to follow.
The Video linked below for your viewing – Gaga will debut an “explicit late
night version” of the video on U.K.’s Channel 4 on June 4. Can’t wait!
