'''''The Fame Monster''''' is an [[extended play|EP]] by American recording artist [[Lady Gaga]].
'''''The Fame Monster''''' is an [[extended play|EP]] by [[United States|American]] singer and songwriter [[Lady Gaga]]. ''The Fame Monster'' was originally promoted as a re-release of Gaga's [[The Fame|debut album]], however Gaga later decided that it "was entirely too expensive for [her] fans, so [she] ripped it in half". The album will be released in three versions: a standalone album titled ''The Fame Monster'', the originally intended deluxe edition that will also include ''The Fame'' in its entirety, and the ''Super Deluxe Fame Monster Bundle'' which will include all of the tracks from the two albums as well as a book, photos, a puzzle, paper dolls, and a lock of hair from one of Gaga's wigs.<ref name="mtv1" /> The album's first single "[[Bad Romance]]" was released on October 27, 2009.

==Release==
On November 7, 2009, on the German show [[Wetten, dass..?]], Gaga revealed that ''The Fame Monster'' will no longer be released as a re-release, but a new album. This is due to the label saying that it costs too much as a re-release.<ref>[http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/gaga_cancels_fame_monster_cd_watch_yLc5RzRhcjFE78ktpJU2eL]</ref>
Originally, the album was intended to be a two-disc re-release of ''[[The Fame]]'', but Gaga told MTV on November 12, 2009, that the album is to be a standalone extended play. It was priced at $&nbsp;9.99 on her website. Alongwith this EP, Gaga also announced the release of ''The Fame Monster'' Deluxe Edition priced at $&nbsp;18.98, and the Super Deluxe ''Fame Monster'' Pack, which will be released on December 15, 2009 and is priced at $99.98. The pack will provide an assortment of products from Gaga's production collaborative Haus of Gaga and even included a lock of hair of the singer.<ref name="honor">{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1626134/20091112/lady_gaga.jhtml|title=Lady Gaga Is 'Honoring' Fans With Cheaper Fame Monster|last=Vena|first=Jocelyn|date=2009-11-13|work=[[MTV]]|publisher=[[MTV Networks]]|accessdate=2009-11-13}}</ref> Gaga explained this decision by saying,

"For those who do not have my debut album, there are a series of collectible double-disc editions that include both albums and artwork conceived by the Haus of Gaga in collaboration with our mentor, Hedi Slimane," she said. "Hear the music, see the show, live and love yourself."<ref name="honor"/>

The Fame Monster is an EP by American recording artist Lady Gaga.

Background

The Fame Monster is to be released as an 8-disc extended play collection on November 23, 2009 This album will be a standalone EP featuring eight brand new tracks, including the first single "Bad Romance". Gaga's Web site also confirmed a Deluxe Edition featuring the entire The Fame as a bonus disc.[1] During the collaborative launch of her similarly titled headphones with Dr. Dre, Gaga commented about the re-release:

"I think re-releases are unfair, [...] It’s artists sneaking singles onto an already finished piece of work in an effort to keep the album afloat. Originally [my label] only wanted me to put out three songs and now it’s much more than that. It’s a new album’s worth of material."[2]

Regarding the title The Fame Monster, Gaga said that it was a coincidence that the name was similar to the headphones she launched. She had already written a song titled "Monster" in March, before she met with Dr. Dre and the Noel Lee, the head of BSM Monster, to discuss the collaboration[2]. Gaga further explained that she was obsessed with monster movies then and "I’m kind of obsessing over the decay of the celebrity and the way that fame is a monster in society! That’s what my new record is about, so it was kind of a perfect fit[2]". The first single from the re-issue is titled "Bad Romance"[3]. A brief portion of the song was performed on Saturday Night Live on October 3, 2009, along with other songs like "Poker Face" and "LoveGame"[4][5]. "Bad Romance" premiered during the show finale of fashion designer Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2010 Paris Fashion Week show on October 6, 2009[6]. Gaga later revealed on the show that the re-release will contain eight new songs, along with her whole original debut album[7]. The Fame Monster deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of the year 2008–2009. She explains:

"On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc."
"I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them."[7]

Among other songs, Gaga confirmed a ballad titled "Speechless", which she dedicated to her father. She also commented that the new songs don't deal with money or fame, rather its about everything in-between and it was for her fans.[7] Two cover arts for the re-release were shot by designer and photographer Hedi Slimane. One shows Gaga in blond wig and wearing a black jacket while the other is what she used to look like with heavy eyeliner running down her face[8].

Release

Originally, the album was intended to be a two-disc re-release of The Fame, but Gaga told MTV on November 12, 2009, that the album is to be a standalone extended play. It was priced at $ 9.99 on her website. Alongwith this EP, Gaga also announced the release of The Fame Monster Deluxe Edition priced at $ 18.98, and the Super Deluxe Fame Monster Pack, which will be released on December 15, 2009 and is priced at $99.98. The pack will provide an assortment of products from Gaga's production collaborative Haus of Gaga and even included a lock of hair of the singer.[9] Gaga explained this decision by saying,

"In the midst of my creative journey composing The Fame Monster, there came an exciting revelation that this was in fact my sophomore album, [...] I would not add, nor take away any songs from this EP. It is a complete conceptual and musical body of work that can stand on its own two feet. It doesn't need The Fame."
"For those who do not have my debut album, there are a series of collectible double-disc editions that include both albums and artwork conceived by the Haus of Gaga in collaboration with our mentor, Hedi Slimane," she said. "Hear the music, see the show, live and love yourself."[9]
