Week in Music: Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ Arrives, Pre-Grammy Awards Excitement and More
By Matthew Perpetua

The big news this week is that after more than a month of hints and teases, Lady Gaga has finally unveiled her new single “Born This Way.” How is it? Well, you can listen for yourself, but Rob Sheffield gave it four stars, declaring it to be an “instant-classic club anthem” that is even better than Madonna’s “Express Yourself.”

Gaga is set to perform the song live for the first time at the Grammy Awards this Sunday, which is just one reason why we’re excited for the show. We’ve set up a special hub for all of our Grammys coverage, including Sheffield’s live blog, our predictions, and photos from past ceremonies.
