Gaga's BJ+AF makes Village Voice's '60 Best Songs About NYC'
Quote:
31. Lady Gaga - "Black Jesus + Amen Fashion"
This edgy pop song was a bonus track on the special edition of Born This Way, and Gaga neatly tucks a hidden meaning into the lyrics. Ostensibly, the tune follows the would-be star's move from her native Upper West Side to the Lower East Side at age 19. But the imagery of a "Black Jesus," says Gaga, is a metaphor for being challenged to think about the world in an entirely new way — something she says she experienced when she moved downtown. And who among us hasn't had our worldview expanded by this city?
Tbh, I don't think I ever finished that track. I'll go dig out my BTW album and give it another chance. I didn't make it through like half of the songs
