A Very Gaga Holiday is a four-track Christmas special-related EP from American recording artist and songwriter Lady Gaga. It was streamed and then unlocked on iTunes after Gaga's Thanksgiving 90-minute special on ABC, called A Very Gaga Thanksgivings, show that was conceived and directed by herself.[2] The extended play consists of four tracks. For its release, Gaga recorded acoustic classics like "Yoü and I" and "The Edge of Glory" (tracks from her current hit album Born This Way) as well as covering a Season-related song "White Christmas" and "Orange Coloured Sky".[2] It was made available for purchase on November 22, 2011 on iTunes United States and it is yet to be released Worldwide.[1][3]
Background and recording
Lady Gaga covered "Orange Coloured Sky" during a surprise appearance at The Oak Room in New York City on September 29, 2010 (wearing a dress made of hair) and again on January 5, 2011.[4] Brian Newman served as a guest performer on trumpet for performances at the Robin Hood Gala on May 9, 2011 to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation and at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle, England on May 15, 2011.[5] She then performed it as several other dates, including the ABC special A Very Gaga Thanksgiving.[6] Also during her pre-recorded A Very Gaga Thanksgiving ABC Thanksgiving Day Special, aired November 24, 2011 she performed her variation to the original "White Christmas".[2] Gaga put emphasis on the jazz side of the song. She added a second verse to the song, after claiming "This song it's too short and it's a beautiful Christmas song, so I added a new extra [verse]". She describes a white snowman, to whom she is telling Santa Claus is on his way to him. In the end she finished by saying "Okay, so I suppose it's not very white outside yet."[2] Both song has been added to the track listing, alongside two other tracks: the stripped-down live versions of her 2011 hits "The Edge of Glory" and "Yoü and I", both singles off Gaga's second full-length studio album Born This Way.[1] The EP came as a surprise for her Little monsters, after the well-received grand opening of the Holiday Wonderland Gaga Workshop at Barneys New York.[2] It was firstly unlocked in the United States on iTunes and Amazon.[7]
