The Demonstration Transforms Lady Gaga Into Heavy Metal

CHART SPOTLIGHT. We have to admit, WelcheMusic is not into heavy metal. And despite the hype around heavy metal act The Demonstration’sLady Gaga’s cover of “Bad Romance,” the genre is still a bit too rough. As MTV News reports, Lady Gaga has actually given a nod to the North Carolina band and tweeted “Death metal with ice dancing + high fashion you get the Monster Ball” recently. The Demonstration is working on a new album, which is still untitled.

Lady Gaga issued “Bad Romance” in October last year. The track preceded her album The Fame Monster and was co-written by RedOne, who also produced the track. Lady Gaga hasn’t officially released any single since “Alejandro” in April.

UPDATE. The Demonstration has been in the studio all weekend tracking vocals. According to the MySpace web-site: “We should be totally done tracking in the next couple weeks and once the mix is done we’ll have new music for yall to bang your fucking heads to. Stretch your neck muscles and get ready for the sickness. We’re workin on getting a new layout done as well.”

Let’s see if The Demonstration makes a cover of “Born This Way As Well.”

Watch Michael Jackson’s Brand New Video Here

According to Music Week, the singer will issue the new album Michael on Dec.14. This marks the first album with new material, since the singer’s death in 2009.

This March, Michael Jackson’s record label Sony Music signed a deal with the singer’s estate. To date, one album has been issued – This Is It, which sold 5m copies worldwide. The lead single failed to make any impact on the worldwide charts, to date it has only made the top five in Japan. The track peaked at No.18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Charts.

Michael will include the song “Breaking News,” which was recorded in New Jersey back in 2007. That track is already available on michaeljackson.com. The set was produced by Akon, RedOne and will.i.am amongst others.

Perhaps, some of the new tracks will appear in the new Cirque du Soleil show Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour. The first leg of the North American tour opens Oct.2 in Montreal, Canada.

To date, Michael Jackson’s Thriller remains the best-selling album of all times with approximately 110 millions copies old worldwide. Released in November 1982, the set spawned seven hit singles.

Max Martin and RedOne Rule Billboard Hot 100

WelcheMusic regularly covers Swedish songwriters’ success Stateside and today our national newspaper Expressen notes that five songs in the top 10 involves either Max Martin or RedOne. Neither one of them enjoys their first glimpse of success, but this is one of few weeks where their dominance is so great.

Expressen’s music editor Anders Nunstedt compares this phenomenon to five out of the top ten Hollywood’s box office hits being Swedish, a most unlikely event. WelcheMusic reveals that although Americans embrace the hits below, Swedes are more reluctant. Only one of the tracks has actually made it to the top ten – Katy Perry’s collaboration with Snoop Dogg (“California Gurls”). Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” is on its way to break the top 20, and the track vaulted into No.1 in the UK only a few days ago.

Lady Gaga Producer RedOne Launches New Super Group

Lady Gaga’s acclaimed producer RedOne made the headlines in Sweden as he recently launched the new super group Love Generation. In an interview with evening paper Aftonbladet, RedOne compares the group with Gaga who “was an unknown talent when they first met.” Née Nadir Khayat, 37 year-old RedOne will collaborate on new material on Kylie Minogue’s upcoming album and his merits includes Mary J. Blige, Sugababes, Mika, Usher as well as Michael Jackson.

The five unknown girls of Love Generation is a collaboration with the star producer and talent scouts Peter Swartling and Jonas Johnson. Swartling spent several years as a jury member of Swedish Idol.

RedOne wrote Love Generation’s first single on a Friday, the girls were hand-picked from 500 contestants last Saturday and a single was recorded the day after. 22-year old Charlie Braun admits that she hardly understands what is happening. “I’ve listened to Lady Gaga’s and RedOne’s songs for a year. Suddenly I’m in a studio with this world-known producer. It’s fantastic,” Braun says to Aftonbladet.
