Lady GaGa Confirms New Single

Published: Thursday 4th Mar 2010 by Sam

Pop phenomenon Lady GaGa is set to release ‘Alejandro’ as the follow-up to current smash ‘Telephone’ it has been confirmed. The RedOne produced cut will go for adds on radio in the coming month. {Source}

With the ‘The Fame Monster’ standing as one of those album’s where almost every song could be a single, it was almost a given that whatever she’d release next would be a smash-in-waiting – which ‘Alejandro’ is. Personally, I’d lean more towards the record’s next  best killer cut ‘Monster’, yet it’s understandable as to why they opted for a more mid-tempo affair with their pick. What’s more, the Spanish-flavoured ‘Alejandro’ lends itself to a more diverse video treatment than we’ve been used to from the 23 year old star.

For those who’ve yet to hear the song, check it out below:

    can we just get the telephone video first!

  2. kekeluvsu March 4, 2010

    UGH. I wish she would make “So Happy I Could Die” a single instead. Whatever 🙄 I guess I’ll have to wait for that. I pretty sure after “Alejandro” it will be “Monster” or “Teeth” UGH.

  3. Stoney-Brie March 4, 2010

    Teeth is the worst song in the album, the rest are HITS!!

  4. ADE March 4, 2010

    yes Alejandro is my favourite song off the album so im happy about that, i thought it would have been Monster though

  5. GaGa Is The Messi March 4, 2010

    OMG OMG OMG!!!! Gaga is just GRrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaat this is my joint! Ilove Alejandro…. this is just my fav sonG on the album

  6. DizzyGuy1985 March 4, 2010

    I could just scream! That is my favorite track. I love it!!!!

  7. Ghetto Fab March 4, 2010

    That’s one of the first songs i fell in love with off the cd. It’s really radio friendly. I can see another MONSTER Video taking place in some Latin Country. I swear Gaga’s music just makes your mind soar! This chick is going to own 2010 like she did 2009

  8. stan March 4, 2010

    first, she needs to PROMOTE telephone first. that song hasn’t even peaked yet.

    while i like “alejandro”, i want “speechless” to be a single. she’s been performing this song a lot too, so i’m a little surprised it’s not the next single.

  9. Ben March 4, 2010

    “Alejandro is cool, I was hoping for either “Alejandro” or “So Happy I Could Die.”

  10. Aunt Jackie March 4, 2010

    That chick has single after single after single. And they aren’t wack. Amazing…..

  11. matt March 4, 2010

    i fall more and more in love with her everyday. she is amazing. going to see her live tomorrow, CANNT F*KIN WAIT !!

  12. florida_girl March 4, 2010

    This chick is going strong indeed….can’t wait

  13. Dan March 4, 2010

    I thought “Speechless” was her next single??? Alejandro will BOMB for sure, it’s not a mainstream song. I don’t see the public liking it like they’ve enjoyed her other singles.

  14. Nick March 4, 2010

    “Alejandro” is a great choice for the next single. It’s been 15 years since we last heard the Ace of Base sound on radio, and it’s immediately addictive. The latin twist will diversify the audience a bit, too. As for “Speechless”- it’s a great song- one of my favorites on the album- but she’s already performed this song in the majority of her promotional appearances for the album (including the grammys) and the song never gained traction in digital sales. (like, say “Glitter in the Air” by Pink) If the public were ready for the song, the public would have already made the song a hit. Also- I’m puzzled as to why “telephone” hasn’t caught on at digital sales. It’s already the 6th most played song in the country, and has yet to hit the top 10 at iTunes.

  15. monique March 4, 2010

    i loove alejandro….idr like telephone…sound similar 2 akeys/bey put in a love song which idl neither

  16. Darren March 4, 2010

    BOOOOOO alejandro is the absolute worst songe shes ever done and the only one i dont like at all. why the f*** couldnt it be dance in the dark??

  17. Music Lover March 5, 2010

    She should have released “Speechless” or “Monster” instead.

  18. sasha March 5, 2010

    I don´t like “Telephone” I don´t know why…….. but I preffer Monster, Dance in the Dark and Alejandro( because she will be like magic in Latin-america/ spain countries in her video ) like madonna in la isla bonita. I can´t wait for that video ( ale ale ale jandroooo!

  19. Julian March 5, 2010

    It’s sad that it’s taken so long to get the Telephone video out because “Alejandro” is going to take from the sales of that. People have been waiting for the video for a long time, and honestly I think the song is losing relevancy (despite the fact that I love it). I wonder how long it will take for the Alejandro video to be released….

  20. lost0nez March 5, 2010

    that’s my fav song on the album so im happy

  21. giovanni March 6, 2010

    alejandro is one of my lady gaga’s songs… i think is it is one of the 3 best song in the monster 😀 im just so excited about it let’s make the song no.1 hit on billboard and occ 😀 i imagine gaga in a hot beatch in mexico with a lot of donkeys and c***** beers 😀

  22. OddOne March 7, 2010

    Right, well all you haters are i for a surprise because Alejandro is the highest charting unreleased single from ‘The Fame Monster’ already (bar ‘Telephone’ obv). So it does make sense as to why its being released.

    It’s a brilliant Ace-of-Base-esque song and whilst it probably doesn’t have the instant number 1 factor of ‘Bad Romance’ or ‘Telephone’, I’m confident the video will help it on it’s way to the top 5 for sure.

    The next single should be ‘Speechless’ or ‘Dance In The Dark’, she’s already shot artwork for these songs as well as artwork for ‘Monster’, so they are defintely singles, but their release succession is unknown as of yet.

  23. alejandro March 7, 2010

    YAY! I love that song!

    I hope the singles in TFM are:
    1.Bad Romance
    2. Telephone
    3.Alejandro
    4. Dance in The Dark
    5. Monster
    6. Speechless

  24. Andrew March 7, 2010

    I think Monster should be the next single. Or Dance in the Dark. Those are the songs that are bound to be hits. There are big club thumpers and dance hits. Alejandro is just “catchy”, and also, it’s not much of song where everybody would rush to the dance floor. But I still like it.

  25. Andrew March 7, 2010

    Dance in the Dark or Monster should be the next single. Those can both be huge hits. Alejandro is just “catchy”, but it’s not one of those songs where everybody rushes to the dance floor.

  26. Andrew March 7, 2010

    I automatically know all of the singles from The Fame Monster. She said she would release four, and Speechless was confirmed as a future single, so there you go. Here’s the list of TFM (The Fame Monster) singles:

    1. Bad Romance
    2. Telephone
    3. Alejandro
    4. Speechless

  27. Kate March 8, 2010

    Damn I wanted dance in the dark as the next video 🙁 I only like monster,telephone,bad romance and dance in the dark off the fame monster. Awhwell I’ll grow onto it soon enough :L hopefully the video won’t take 3months to make his tine :L

  28. Amy March 8, 2010

    Monster is the best one i think:D i love teeth also, infact i love them all! But i think she needs to make a music video for monster!!

  29. GagaLilMoNster March 12, 2010

    We all hoPed iit wouLd be moNster but after seeiN telephoNe alejaNdro does go wiit iit… I love all her soNgz n they aLl are gaNa b hiitz… If yu tru gaga faNz who cares waNtz next they all gaNa b hiitz newyz…..

    So alejandro then moNster for a fact….

    Gaga yu gaNa out beat 2010 lik 09 no doubt

    @ ANDREW

    Do you have hard proof of Lady Gaga only releasing four UK singles from the album where pretty much every track could be a top 10 single?

    Since the release of ‘The Fame’, America received five singles:

    1) Just Dance
    2) Poker Face
    3) Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)
    4) LoveGame
    5) Paparazzi

    The UK received just four:

    1) Just Dance
    2) Poker Face (chosen in favour of ‘Beautiful, Dirty, Rich’)
    3) Paparzzi
    4) LoveGame (released after Paparazzi because the video needed re-editing for explicit content)

    But now, she’s realised her UK fans appreciate her more, the proof? She has more number one singles over here than in America (technically 4 for the UK, but in America she only has 2).

    She’s even COMPLETEY re-done her Monster Ball Tour for the UK leg – she cares for the UK fans more now, so it only makes sense that she’ll release more, if not, the same amount of UK singles as US singles, no US only singles.

    Everyone and their grandfather knows that ‘Speechless’ will be a single, so yes thats four confirmed, but not even Interscope can ignore the instant SINGLE-NESS of ‘Dance In The Dark’ and ‘Monster’.

    So, I think the single succession will be:

    1) Bad Romance
    2) Telephone
    3) Alejandro
    4) Speechless
    5) Dance In The Dark/Monster
    (and if she is allowed a sixth) – 6) Dance In The Dark/Monster (obv the one that has not already been released)

    I feel ‘Dance In The Dark’ and ‘Monster’ are pretty much neck-and-neck for single release, and I’m not too fussed which is released first, as long as they are both released. But if push comes to shove, I’d rather hear ‘Dance In The Dark’ on the radio.

    Sorry about the essay. But oh well.

  31. Trace March 15, 2010

    @OddOne Actually, Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) was not released as a single in the U.S. Just saying.

  32. Trace March 15, 2010

    Actually, looking at the release stuff, it was released in the UK and NOT the US. So the UK got more singles.

  33. patricktullius March 15, 2010

  38. Melissa Mae March 28, 2010

    But thats ok theres a good chance Monster will be the next single after Alejandro

  40. Wlol12 April 4, 2010

    @dl08 the song teeth is about a female (being gaga) asking a male for oral s**

  41. wombat May 16, 2010

    I like Alejandro but i wish she released “Disco Heaven” instead. The song has variety.

  42. Dale Roiter May 28, 2010

    I think “So Happy I Could Die” should be a hit along with “Monster” and “Dance in the Dark.”

  43. Rashida James August 28, 2010

  44. Rashida James August 28, 2010
