Lady Gaga [ tickets ] has recorded eight new songs to be included on an expanded version of her multi-platinum debut album, "The Fame," according to a press release. The new release, titled "The Fame Monster," will be available Nov. 24.

In a statement, the breakthrough pop star said the album "is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, '90s dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of '80s melancholic pop, and the runway.

"On my re-release, 'The Fame Monster,' I wrote about everything I didn't write on 'The Fame,' she said. "While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on my new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc."

The album's first single, the RedOne-produced "Bad Romance," will be released in early November.

The new re-release also features collaborations with Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.
