Born This Way (Special Edition)

Born This Way is the second studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. It was released by Interscope Records on May 23, 2011. Gaga co-wrote and co-produced it with other producers, including Fernando Garibay and RedOne, who had previously worked with her. She also worked with musicians including E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons and Queen guitarist Brian May. Gaga and Garibay served as the album's musical directors. The music on Born This Way builds on the synth-pop, electropop, and dance-pop styles of Gaga's previous material while incorporating instrumentation different from that of her earlier releases, including electronic rock and techno. It features a broader range of genres, such as heavy metal, disco, house, and rock and roll, while its lyrical topics include sexuality, religion, freedom, feminism, and individualism. Despite divided opinions among religious and conservative commentators, the album was well received by music critics, who praised the varying musical styles and Gaga's vocals. Several music publications included the album in their year-end best-of lists.
