It could just be the way Gaga interjects the word “Venus,” in the song and how much it sounds like a similar interjection, “Vogue,” in Madonna’s song.
Nah, it’s just our imagination. Then again, the beat seems eerily similar, too. But yet it’s different enough for Gaga to claim originality. Let’s just say it’s “Madonna-esque,” as much of Gaga’s music is, rather than a Madonna rip-off.
Gaga said she plans to release on new track a week leading up to the release of ARTPOP on Nov. 6. “Venus” is the fourth song from the album. She has officially released “Applause,” “Aura,” and “Do What U Want,” featuring R. Kelly.
