Singer also says there may be up to 20 new songs on the new album. By James Dinh Lady Gaga Photo: Paul Morigi/ WireImage It has been months since Lady Gaga first started hyping her forthcoming album, Born This Way , and the pop visionary recently raised the stakes. During a Monster Ball tour performance in Poland on Friday, the always bold singer promised fans that she’d deliver “the greatest album of this decade,” with possibly up to 20 new tracks. She also revealed that Born This Way doesn’t follow current trends. “I promise you, I’ll never let you down. And not for nothing: The album’s finished and it’s f—ing really good,” Gaga tearfully told the audience , who simultaneous held up signs that read “Born This Way” backward. “So whatever this is, whatever you just did for all of us … I promise to give you the greatest album of this decade, just for you.” The singer, who is prepping a promotional campaign for the album, also touched base on what sounds like a possible dig at her pop competitors, saying, “The funny thing is that some people have reduced freedom to a brand. They think that it’s trendy now to be free. They think it’s trendy to be excited about your identity. When in truth, there is nothing trendy about Born This Way . ” Describing the new album as “a spirit” and “this connection that we all share,” the pop star confessed that her new music “is something so much deeper than a wig or lipstick or an outfit, or a f—ing meat dress. … Born This Way is about what keeps us up at night and what makes us afraid.” Gaga isn’t the only who has been talking up the new material, as everyone from the singer’s manager , Akon , Elton John and Monster Ball opening act Semi Precious Weapons have also gushed about the album. While the songstress told the crowd that the LP will consist of mostly “f—ing sledge-hammering dance,” she’s still unsure of the length of Born This Way, but plans to give fans as much music as possible. “I’m still deciding, the album could be longer than you would imagine … I’m not sure,” she said. “I can’t decide, really, because I think that times are different, you know. It used to be kind of a faux pas to put out too much music on your album, but I feel like you guys deserve all of the records I do, ’cause I work hard on them. So who knows, you might get, like, 20 new Gaga songs .” Do you think Gaga’s new album will live up to her promise? Share your thoughts in the comments.
