Publisher's Synopsis
Writer and musician Chris Wade looks at Lady Gaga's The Fame and The Fame Monster, two landmark albums originally released in 2008 and 2009. Though The Fame celebrated the idealistic appeal of desiring a life in the spotlight, The Fame Monster explored the naked truth of celebrity and its darkest aspects. Described by Gaga herself as the yin and yang of one another, a decade and a half since their release, both records remain vital, relevant, timeless pop masterpieces that will be adored by generations of music fans for years to come. Chris Wade runs the acclaimed music project Dodson and Fogg. His non fiction work includes books on Picasso, Madonna, Bob Dylan, James Woods, and Catherine Deneuve, while his comedy audiobooks have been narrated by such people as Rik Mayall and Nigel Planer. He also makes surreal art films and documentaries on film history.
