Given the pronounced promo push behind Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ LP of late, one would be forgiven for forgetting that the project actually arrived last November.

Check out Beyonce!

The premium diva may have wrapped her blockbuster ‘Mrs Carter Show World Tour’, yet she still commands the eyes and ears of the masses – thanks to her chart-topping tunes and her social media hustle.

Taking to Tumblr tonight, the ‘Drunk In Love’ hitmaker shared the shot of herself rocking this eye-grabbing ensemble.

Whatever she’s dressed in, we’re just eager to see Yonce’s next musical move. With her tour wrapped, does the “free time” signal the start of more traditional promo? Is there a new tour on the horizon (seems odd only Europe would get the ‘Beyonce’ live treatment)? Or, shock horror, is she really taking a…break? Time will tell.

For today, after spending the last year defending the star against the likes of Perez Hilton and the fiction spewing villain that is ‘Angela Cheng’, GaGa’s ‘Monsters’ found a foe in the unlikeliest of places.

‘Chart News.’

How the industry source ruffled their feathers?

Despite its lead single ‘You’re Mine’ lacking the snap, crackle and pop Mariah singles usually serve in abundance, May 6th will bring with it the launch of its supporting album!

So, as many hope the general public will show it the support its four first singles were never afforded, her fans have some some way to support its predecessor in the last year, forcing it to a Gold tinted milestone.
