Capitalizing on the massive success for her first two studio albums, Lady Gaga returns to our ears with a remix album, simply named The Remix. There's no denying that Lady Gaga has taken over airwaves in a way we haven't seen from an artist in many, many years. Perhaps not since Madonna was at her controversy-riddled peak. Hit after hit filled our dancefloors and music videos made her a visual sensation and a new inspiration for many a drag outfit. It's only natural that we would see a collection of remixes of her biggest hits. The Remix consists of 17 remixes, including Bad Romance, Paparazzi and Just Dance. In some cases there is not too much of a variance in sound on some tracks, for example the Poker Face LLG VS GLG mix is quite similar to the original and does not bring much new to the mix, while the Frankmix cut Snare Edit remix of Eh-Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) gives the song a makeover and turns it into a much heavier version of the Caribbean sound that turned many off the original song. (Eh-Eh is one of, it not the lowest charting single of Gaga's career thus far). The Chew Fu Ghettohouse remix of Love Game features guest vocals from shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, who Gaga mentioned being a fan of in early interviews. Manson himself must have some reciprocal feelings as he has had a tendency to turn down pop artists requesting his guest vocals. The male vocals definitely help add a new and fun element to this sexually-charged track. Disappointingly, I find both remixes of Bad Romance featured on this album fail to make any real impression on me as a listener. They are both slowed down versions of the song, which was a floor-filler in its initial release. It just seems odd to choose these versions, as there are far better remixes of this song available online that make you want to dance a lot more. Telephone fares better in the respect of getting great remixes, from Passion Pit and Alphabet. Poker Face fans will also rejoice at the inclusion of a live piano and voice performance of the song at The Cherrytree House. There's always been a big demand from fans for an official release of this completely different take on what's arguably her biggest hit. It won't get you dancing, but it will you getting sing along and air-pianoing, if there is such a thing. Overall, The Remix is a very worthy purchase for any fan of Gaga, it's got some fantastic remixes of her hottest songs, the insatiable piano and voice recording of Poker Face and will guarantee you can enjoy all of Gaga's biggest hits in new ways while we eagerly await her third album. Get this album! I'm not bluffin' with my muffin! (If I had one). **Watch Lady Gaga's new video for Alejandro below Michael Ciuchini - 16th June 2010
