Somewhere from deep in the Lady Gaga Music Library Vault comes this previously unreleased nugget, "Kandy Life."
Apparently, "Kandy Life," (which saw the light of day as part of a Christmas rarities haul over at GagaFrontRow) is a 2007-era demo that never made it on to any official release.
The song samples (or possibly re-creates) the vocal hook from The Chordette's doo-wop era classic, "Lollipop." With the cut-and-pasted candy refrain riding a rather tradition hip-hop beat, Gaga sounds positively demure (I know!), wistfully talking about the high life she, at that point, hadn't quite experienced yet.
Check out this portrait of an artist on the verge of super-stardom.
