So having declared a pop emergency on twitter last week when the first song from her new album, ARTPOP began leaking, Mother Monster saw her song rush released to the masses just hours later.

On first listen to Applause our first thought was that it sounded very much like a Madonna track. If we recall, wasn’t this new album announced not long after the release of her last album but yet, this doesn’t have the bite that maybe the last first singles had (Let’s Dance & Born This Way). In fact for us, it’s just a little bit bland.

Maybe it has something to do with that the inspiration for the track comes from the applause that her fans gave her in the shows leading up to her cancelling the remainder of her Born The Way Ball that we just don’t see anything here. Expect this to be remixed a fair few times (and there’s already some up on Soundcloud!)

Rating: 2/5
