Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have been on good terms on Twitter but don’t let that fool you, the competition is still fierce! Obviously moved by the excitement generated by her peer’s new song, “Roar”, the former has issued her own single, “Applause”, a week ahead of schedule.

This should give you a glimpse of the competitive upcoming fall season! Just hours after Katy Perry’s lead Prism single, “Roar”, surfaced on the web, a short snippet of Lady Gaga’s new song, “Applause”, was released and it whipped her fans into a frenzy.

The blogosphere is brimming with excitement for new music from Lady Gaga, so just imagine how her fans reacted when the unmastered version of the song “Burqa” surfaced just moments ago. Clearly building on the sound of her previous album, Born this Way, the track is typical Gaga.
