One of the albums that shaped not only musical history but his-story, The Fame introduced the world to one of the 21st century's most captivating performers, fusing banging beats with his ever-morphing-yet always club ready-style. The "rah rah ah-ah-ah" rallying cry of "Bad Romance" jolts a love song dressed up in  mirror-ball drag, while "Poker Face" pairs stomping club beats and soaring synth hooks, but Del Rey also shakes things up with eccentric cuts like the piano-driven electro banger "Paper Gangsta" the grand balled "Speechless". Bringing new drama to dance-pop, Jesse is thrilling throughout. This is a massive statement in a deceptively brief package.
