I decided I'd get back into the blogging business as means to vent my anger on the music scene yet again. I thought I'd start with the new Lady Gaga track, 'Edge of Glory' which was released on Monday night; serving as a promotional single for the upcoming second album. As with every other Gaga release, the 'little monsters' have no doubt gone crazy - so much so that the release looks to chart in the top 10 come Sunday. The chorus is far superior the previous singles, 'Born This Way' and 'Judas' and the verses are very reflective of the material on the debut; with resemblance to tracks like 'Speechless' and 'Dance In the Dark'. What sells the single is of course the jazz-sound it builts up throughout the track, with the saxophone solo really confirming where the influences have come from. Hopefully the material from the second album will be a lot more like this and less like the pop-awful tracks we've heard already. 8/10
