Lady Gaga has released new singles from her ARTPOP, most of which are dance-driven with unique beats and interesting influences. Now fans can take a moment and appreciate the vocal power of Gaga.

Gaga has released the audio for her new single, “Dope.” The single is Gaga and her piano simply performing. She is a brilliant singer with an incredible vocal range. Her most powerful moment is about three minutes into the song.

The only let down to the new single would be the lyrics. They seem simple and are not as organic as Gaga's norm. The line “I need you more than dope” is clear, but the rest of the lyrics fall flat.

This single does show a side of Lady Gaga that fans have been searching for. Most likely the songs will weave together and tell a full story, but fans will have to wait a little longer before hearing ARTPOP in full.

Out of all of the singles released so far off ARTPOP, “Dope” showcases Gaga as an artist rather than a performer.
