The album that instantly spread Lady Gaga’s name around the world was 2008’s The Fame.

I imagine many Western-music fans were shocked by her sudden arrival on the scene.

Among the tracks on this debut album, the one that was especially popular in Japan at the time was Poker Face, which was used in an au commercial.

The way it unfolds from a dark, mature atmosphere into a suddenly catchy, dazzling chorus melody is captivating no matter how many times you listen.

It’s a danceable number with a comfortable mid-tempo beat that isn’t too fast.
