Lady GaGa » The Fame Monster

The Fame Monster is the second studio album by American recording artist Lady Gaga released on November 18, 2009. The album's eight songs were initially intended to be part of a re-release of Gaga's debut album The Fame. However, Gaga announced that the new songs would be available as a stand alone album, as she thought the re-release was too expensive and they are unfair overall and that, as the piece represents a separate conceptual and musical body of work, it does not need the songs of The Fame to support it.

A Super Deluxe Fame Monster pack containing the two releases will be released on December 15, 2009. The album deals with the darker side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of 2008–2009 while travelling around the world, and are expressed through a monster metaphor. The composition takes its inspiration from Gothic music and fashion shows.
