Move over, Ariana.
Less than a week after dropping “Rain on Me,” her divalicious duet with Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga goes K-pop with Korean girl group BLACKPINK in her new song “Sour Candy,” which she dropped Thursday morning as the latest preview of her new album “Chromatica.”
And what a sweet treat for Little Monsters it is.
“Take a bite, take a bite,” she chants over the delicious, deep-house groove. Consider us bitten.
“I’m sour candy/So sweet, then I get a little angry,” they sing, their voices tweaked to serve fembot fierceness. Later, they warn, “Ask me to be nice and then I’ll do it extra mean.”
Then the lyrics switch into Korean, before swerving back to English. “I’m hard on the outside/But if you give me time/Then I could make time for your love,” Gaga sings on one of her signature bridges.
While the lyrics of “Sour Candy” may be pretty shallow — Jackson Maine probably wouldn’t approve — it hardly matters when the beat is this sick. It’s just the kind of disco-ball-dizzying track that fans have been missing since Gaga launched to superstardom with 2008’s “The Fame” and 2011’s “Born This Way.”
Gaga has promised to keep the party going with “Chromatica,” which will be released at midnight and is sure to keep her peeps twirling into the wee hours of the morning. The album — which also features the singer collaborating with Elton John on “Sine from Above” — was originally scheduled to be released on April 10, but was postponed due to the coronavirus crisis.
But if there are more dance jams like “Sour Candy” to unwrap, it will have been worth the wait.
