I was hoping she could release a music video (which is likely a single) on either Sour Candy or Replay, but she chose 911 instead.
I wasn't enthralled by 911, although most fans appear to craze over it. To me, it sounded okay, but I wasn't fascinated by it.
But I admit it's a catchy song and, like most of the songs on the album, it was likeable and enjoyable.
This year has been devastating to the entertainment industry due to Covid-19, and we've had almost 9 months of no new excitements due to a halt on almost every activity.
911 therefore couldn't come at a more welcoming time. When I first heard it was gonna be released in 9am P.T., I had to search what PT meant and what time is it in Singapore time. Damn, midnight it was I found.
So I waited. And the countdown was unbearable.
Then, it premiered.
As an avid Gaga fan, the music video lacked a little Gaga-ness to me. It looked like a fantasy (which it was meant to be), and there was a lack of Gaga dancing. I mean, after watching her VMA live performance on 911, this music video came a bit disappointing for me.
However, this music video still kicks ass a lot. It was incomprehensible until the song ended and viewers are shown what actually happens. Then, the whole music video makes sense. Brilliant concept, I would say.
Lady Gaga makes my depressing 2020 very much more delighting and entertaining. Thank you, Lady Gaga.
