On “Alejandro,” Lady GaGa finds herself in a toxic love square with a boy named, well, Alejandro… as well as Fernando and Roberto — but mostly Alejandro, as his name graces the annoyingly catchy “Ale-Ale-jandro” hook.
A few seconds into the track, it becomes quite apparent that Lady GaGa is channeling herself some “La Isla Bonita.” In fact, the similarity between the two tracks is almost as obvious as Madonna’s “Revolver” to Britney’s “Radar.”
Giving a graceful tip of the hat to career idols isn’t anything knew, and right now, it is not unwelcome. I, for one, don’t mind an “La Isla Bonita” 2009. And this might be a bold statement, but club-bangers aside, “Alejandro” easily trumps most of Lady GaGa’s senseless fluff numbers on The Fame. Listen to the new track after the jump.
“Alejandro” will appear on The Fame: Monster, and 8 track mini-album that will be sold along with GaGa’s released debut, The Fame. The Fame: Monster will be released on November 24th.
It sounds like vintage Ace of Base with touches of ABBA. LOVE it, I'm continually impressed with this girl.

its sounds like a fucking good song lol
I love this. First thought about this song is that Abba could have done it if they were still around and on crack.

Sounded like modern Abba to me, too, at first listening and still does! Nothing bad in it, though! Spectacular and Amazing Lady she is, our Gaga!
