Lady Gaga 'Artpop' LEAK, new album 2013 debuts online before Nov. 11 release date as Mother Monster releases official, high quality 'Dope' audio [LISTEN]

Lady Gaga's upcoming third studio album Artpop has sprung a leak. The highly anticipated follow up to Born This Way hit torrenting websites and social media sites like Twitter and Tumblr over the weekend.

According to HasItLeaked.com, Artpop is now available for premature, illegal downloading from Torrentz, tumblr and Headphones Up. Being at three different, distinct points on the Internet, it's apparent that those who want to get their hands on Artpop certainly can at this point.

Artpop hit the Internet on Saturday, Nov. 2, nine days before its official release date on Monday, Nov. 11.

Gaga has yet to directly address the leak and instead is opting to roll out Artpop as originally planned. As a part of that, the Mother Monster dropped the third of three preview tracks today (Nov. 4). Following some spooky single artwork, the official, high-quality version of "Dope" is now available for download on iTunes.

The piano-driven haunting ballad features Gaga singing in a dramatic, deep voice. Singing with a power found in tracks like Born This Way's "You and I," Gaga proclaims that love can trump any drug. "I need you more than dope," she sings repeatedly in the song's chorus.

The dramatic track takes a far more dramatic turn than the light-hearted, EDM-influenced "Applause," "Do What U Want" and "Venus." Though those tracks each pack a punch in their own way, none highlight the raw emotions and power of music quite like "Dope" does.
