The previews of Lady Gaga's new album Artpop just keep coming. Shortly after midnight today (Oct. 29), the "Do What U Want" singer released a new, extended snippet of a highly anticipated track, the ode to all things green and Amsterdam-y, "Mary Jane Holland."

The song itself is less Dark Side of the Moon, marijuana culture and more fitting for a molly-fueled rave party. A steady beat keeps time for the track, and like "Aura" and "Venus" before it, "Mary Jane Holland" is full of layers upon layers of sonic goodness. There's the power chord guitars, the electronic, synthesized swells and, of course, Gaga's own looped vocals.

It's a lot to take in, but makes for an interesting, deep sonic experience, proving that Gaga can execute an innovative pop album.

Listen to the 2 minute plus snippet of "Mary Jane Holland" below!

With the blend of interesting, layered EDM-influenced tracks and more classic pop hits ("Applause," "Do What U Want") it seems as though the colors of Artpop will blend together to make a strong pop album.

Though it may seem difficult to mix the two elements together, Gaga admitted that she spent an extended amount of time putting together the order of songs on Artpop, so it's sure the album will have some sense of flow to it.

It's unclear whether or not "Mary Jane Holland" will be the third promotional single to be released on Monday, Nov. 4, leading up to the release of Artpop. The previous two songs to get previewed were new second single "Do What U Want" (feat. R. Kelly) and yesterday's offering, "Venus."
