Lady Gaga 'Very Pleased' With New Music, Video

Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" are still burning up the charts and enjoying regular radio play, but she plans to keep it rolling and continue her pop-world domination with two new songs already on the horizon.

The New York native is excited about her new single, "Love Game," and is eager for fans to check out the new video, directed by music-video vet Jonas Akerlund, who has previously helmed clips for the Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, Moby and U2. " 'Love Game' is already on the radio, which is very exciting," she told MTV News at the KIIS-FM Wango Tango music festival at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, California. "And I just finished my video for 'Paparazzi,' which I really am very pleased with the way that turned out. It's like a short film."

But the singer isn't just releasing songs off The Fame album - she's already hard at work on some new music. However, don't expect the collection of tunes to make it onto a traditional album release - these songs are more like a thank-you letter to her devoted fans. (Those fans also include Madonna, Kanye West and the Pussycat Dolls, whom she toured with earlier this year.) "I also started writing more music and I'm planning to release approximately six new songs by the end of the year," she explained. "I'm just putting it out there ... I don't function on the same industry timeline as everyone else."
