Lady Gaga New Single Swine To Be Released September 1? [VIDEO] ARTPOP's Followup to the Applause Contest;

Lady Gaga released her Applause Video on Good Morning America just this week, and has been promoting her new single Applause off the ARTPOP album app with an Applause contest that will give her Little Monster fans a chance to meet her.  But now there are rumors that she will release another new single Swine on September 1, a very short time after the last single release.

Some are saying that to release the new single Swine so soon after the release of the Applause single and video shows that Gaga is struggling to maintain pop supremacy.  Katy Perry's new single Roar has topped Applause in the charts. 

Gaga has created a contest to help promote the Applause single.  The applause contest will give two Lady Gaga Little Monster fans a chance to hang out with Lady Gaga.

Gaga recently spoke on GMA about how her hip injury helped her creative process in the making of ARTPOP: "I couldn't do anything else, but create.  I couldn't dance. I couldn't walk. I couldn't anything. I sat on the couch and I worked every day and I wrote all my ideas down and I obsessed, obsessed about the music.

ARTPOP the album has a release date in November.  Lady Gaga has chosen an unusual promotional strategy for her Artpop app album release.  She has made an unusual performance art video with Marina Abramovic already.  Haus of Gaga released this statement about Artpop:

Haus of Gaga released this statement to Little Monster fans: "Built by TechHAUS, the technological branch of HAUS OF GAGA, the app itself is a musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion, and technology with a new interactive worldwide community - "the auras".  Altering the human experience with social media, we bringARTculture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition."

"Exploring Gaga's existence as a cultural interface, the user will share in the "adrenaline of fame" as they build and share their own projects, chat with one another, and watch in real-time on a virtual globe as ARTPOP explodes onto the physical and virtual universe at once on November 11, our "BIG BANG!"  On this day HAUS OF GAGA venges with forte to bring the music industry into a new age, an age where art drives pop, and the artist once again is in control of the "icon".

"In turn, the album ARTPOP musically mirrors Gaga's creative process as she passes through the mediums of each artist she collaborates with, scoring a blueprint of her jourey.  The result, a "rage" of electronic passion and fury, defining each artistic process from beinning to end, ARTPOP could mean anything.  But for her, this is a celebration of obsession.  And on November 10, she will host an evening of artRave exhibiting Has of Gaga's proects as well as collaborations with Inez & Vincodh, Robert Wilson, Marina Abramovic, Jeff Koons."
