Different orchestration, but just as powerful!

Lady GaGa took to Twitter last night to debut her latest, genre-crossing reinterpretation of her smash single, Born This Way, simply known as the 'Country Road Version,' and we have to admit, we're pretty obsessed!

Check it out (above)!

We love how this stripped down version really emphasizes the strength of her voice, as well as the message of the lyrics! And the extra verse toward the end is a nice touch!

Such an unexpected - but surprisingly fitting - direction for you to take, Mother Monster! We're so impressed!

We guess that she wants a new sound to go with that new look!

Leona Lewis is hard at work on her third album, and is reportedly looking to move past her signature ballads, and record more dubstep and club-friendly songs!

A source explains:

"Simon Cowell's Syco team have asked songwriters to hand them dubstep and dance tracks with traditional lyrics for the X Factor winner. And they’ve specifically stated 'no ballads.'"

Wow! Pretty bold move!

We just hope that even though she wants to expand upon the aesthetic of her sound, she still can showcase that powerhouse voice of hers! We wouldn't want to see that compromised!

What do U think?? Are U excited for the direction Leona is taking her new album??
