Lady Gaga Announces Re-Release of 'Born This Way' for 10th Anniversary
The album will include all of the original tracks as well as a set of covers by some of your favorite artists.
Get ready Little Monsters, because Lady Gaga is gifting fans with a new edition of her iconic album Born This Way to celebrate the record's 10th anniversary. Last night, the singer announced the re-release on Instagram, explaining that the new album will include all of the original songs plus a second set of "reimagined" covers by well-known artists.
As Gaga has often noted, the album—more specifically, the title track—became anthemic for members of the LGBTQIA+ community since its debut in 2011. In homage to their support, each cover will come from a queer artist or advocate.
"Introducing Born This Way The Tenth Anniversary, a special edition of the album in new packaging that will be available on June 18," wrote Gaga. "In addition to the album’s 14 original songs, #TheTenthAnniversary edition will also include a second disc of reimagined versions of #BornThisWay songs by incredible artists who both represent and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community."
The House of Gucci actress also revealed that the first cover from the new tracklist is a rendition of "Judas" by the revered bounce artist Big Freedia. The cover is available today on all streaming platforms.
In a press release obtained by Rolling Stone, the rapper gushed over the song and her collaboration on the new album. "'Judas' was my favorite song when it came out originally, so I really wanted to cover it," said Freedia. "I am beyond excited that it's the first to drop from this project!"
