GaGa Releases B-Side For Xmas

Lady GaGa released a special unreleased b-side for her fans as a Christmas present.


The unreleased b-side is from the 'Born This Way' sessions and was not mastered and released on the final album track listing. The track, 'Stuck on Fuckin You' was recorded in one take live. The last minute of the track is improvised while jamming out with her friend. 


No word whether or not this will receive a final studio quality version at some point in the future. Look for the tour dates in support of 'Born This Way' on New Year's Eve.

David Guetta Releases 'Titanium'

David Guetta is set to release two singles at the same time, one in North America and one in Europe.


The fourth single in North America was released earlier this month, 'Turn Me On' featuring Nicki Minaj. Guetta's label decided that the Sia-assisted 'Titanium' would do well in Europe. 'Titanium' will be released on January 2. The unfinished music video already leaked but will be officially released in January.


With four singles already released it's highly unlikely more singles will be released but I hope for atleast two more. I think the track 'Night of Your Life' with Jennifer Hudson should be released next in the Spring and the track 'Crank it Up' featuring Akon should follow in the Summer. Both make perfect choices for Spring and Summer.
