New Music: Lady Gaga – ‘Stuck on Fu**in’ You’

Lady Gaga delivers a Christmas gift to her Little Monsters with her previously unreleased song “Stuck on Fuckin’ You.” The acoustic record was recorded in one take and features raw vocals from the drunk popstress with Fernando Garibay on guitar. Gaga explained the track’s origins on Twitter.

“I wrote it in Minnesota after the Monster Ball on the tour bus,” she tweeted. “We recorded it in one shot. Fernando on guitar, Paul on Drum Machine. I wrote, sang it, and freestyled the last minute + a half of the song. … We were all wasted on the bus making records. It is such a timecapsule of the spirit of our creativity.”

Exclusive: Skylar Grey to Release ‘Buried Sessions’ EP in January

‘Twas the night before Christmas and Skylar Grey had a gift for her fans. Due to popular demand, the singer-songwriter has recorded and released her own versions of the hits she penned, Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Coming Home” and Lupe Fiasco’s “Words I Never Said.” These two songs, along with the original demo of “Love the Way You Lie,” will be available on iTunes on January 17 as an EP entitled The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey.

“Coming Home” became a hit for Diddy-Dirty Money, and now Skylar has dedicated the record to the men and women of the military who are returning home from war. “‘Coming Home Pt. II’ goes out to all of the soldiers that are finally home and to everyone who is with their loved ones on the holidays,” Skylar told Rap-Up.com.

Lupe Fiasco sparked controversy with the politically-charged “Words I Never Said,” but Skylar originally wrote the Lasers cut for a family member. “I wrote this song about my grandfather who passed away before I had a chance to say goodbye,” she said. “Tell somebody you love them today.”

Rap-Up.com has your first listen to Skylar’s solo versions.
