Lady Gaga Artpop | Album Songs __top__

A slinky, Prince-style funk track. "Sexxx Dreams" is exactly what the title suggests: a confession about fantasizing about an ex-lover while in a current relationship. Gaga uses vocoders and a minimal synth line to create intimacy. The song samples the guitar riff from “Take Me to the River” by Al Green. It is arguably the sexiest track in her discography, relying on breathy whispers rather than bombast.

The album opens with a distorted, spaghetti-western guitar riff before detonating into a dubstep trap beat. "Aura" was written during a trip to Mexico and uses the metaphor of a burqa to discuss the duality of identity. The immediately challenge the listener here: Do you want to see me, or the fantasy? Lyrically, it is sharp, paranoid, and brilliant. The chorus—“I’m not a wandering slave, I am a woman of choice”—is classic Gaga fighting for autonomy. lady gaga artpop album songs
