Playlist of the Week: Gagamania

Playlist of the Week: Gagamania

Known for fashion, theatrics and breaking the status quo, Lady Gaga has an endless catalog of music. Gaga, more affectionately known as “Mother Monster,” provides a way to escape academic burnout through her glamorous yet edgy discography.

Opening the playlist is “The Dead Dance,” a spooky synth-pop track destined to leave listeners breaking out into 80s dance moves. The singles “Disease” and “Abracadabra” are two more hits from her latest album, “MAYHEM,” which sonically encompasses Gaga’s classic dramatics. 

The singer has continuously pushed boundaries throughout her career in an artistically provocative manner. Her electro-house song “Judas” explores sensitive topics, as does the  reverse female-empowerment track “Government Hooker.” Alongside these tracks, this playlist explores the bold melodrama and sonically diverse experience Gaga creates through her music.

Be cautious when pressing play on these songs; they will convert any listener into a “little monster.”

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism.

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/54088/donations/new?designation_id=faa93386&
