No stranger to controversy, Lady GaGa courts exactly that with the covers for new promotional single ‘Venus’.
The ‘ARTPOP’ cut was initially scheduled to serve as the album’s official second single – following Platinum lead effort ‘Applause’. However, as reported, was bumped to “promo” status once the R. Kelly assisted ‘Do What U Want’ became a surprise hit on iTunes globally this week.
Still, Mother Monster seems keen to whip up a buzz about the mythical track, taking to Twitter seconds ago to post three official covers. The first (and tamest) appears above.
