Art[work] attack

Exhibit A

Here we have the proposed cover art for Born This Way, aka the upcoming Lady Gaga Album, due to be released on May 23rd 2011 with the single of the same name due to be released on February 13th 20100:

As a bit of a side note we ought to mention that at the Monster's Ball concert last month, we heard Gaga perform You and I which is a track from the album. It managed to be both amazing and not unlike what would happen if Bon Jovi discovered their country side. We were going to write about it but then we fell ill and the moment sort of passed. It's quality and commitment like that which we like to think you've come to expect of The Pop Web over the years.

Exhibit B

This is the cover art just tweeted by Britney Spears for her new single Hold It Against Me. It's due to receive it's premiere in the US any time over the next couple of days.

A demo of Hold It Against Me leaked earlier today. If you want to hear what the song sounds like when it's not sung by Britney (with thanks to MuuMuse), then you can find it here.

Obviously we await with baited breath the actual version, but what we will say is that this better have about 50% more heavy breathing throughout and probably warrants a video which is considerably more Toxic than Gimme More.

If these caveats are borne in mind, it's safe to say that you can go ahead and cancel any plans you might have had to listen to any other pop music until around mid-March.
