Description:

The Cherrytree Sessions is the first extended play by American singer Lady Gaga.

It consists of three acoustic versions of "Poker Face", "Just Dance", and "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)".

The EP was released on February 3, 2009, initially released only through Borders stores and via digital download, and was later reissued on CD in August 2010.

Gaga's performances for The Cherrytree Sessions was first released as a video posted to the label's website.

It begins with Gaga and producer Space Cowboy surprising Kierszenbaum in his office, known as The Cherrytree House.

After discussing her international travels, Gaga performed an acoustic version of "Brown Eyes" at the piano where she had sung for Kierszenbaum the first time they met.

She and Space Cowboy then performed a stripped-down version of "Just Dance" on their keyboards, before Gaga returned to the piano for an acoustic version of "Poker Face". 

The performance coincided with Gaga reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart with "Just Dance" in 2008, and was available for streaming as a webisode on the Cherrytree Records website.

The EP itself consists of three tracks recorded live from the event, all of which had previously been successful singles released from Gaga's first studio album, The Fame (2008). 

AllMusic compared the "solo piano rendition" of "Poker Face" to the style of cabaret, while "Just Dance" had only synths as its instrumentation.

The final song, "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" makes use of keyboards (played by Martin Kierszenbaum) and beatboxing, which is performed by Space Cowboy.
