Lady Gaga pays homage to New York City’s brick apartment buildings that called home in her latest music video for “The Edge of Glory,” the third single off her new album Born This Way.

The video is ostensibly toned down from what we’re used to from Gaga, who is known to create short films rather than music videos, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce. “Glory” tells a different story, featuring the 25-year-old singer/songwriter dancing on the fire escape of a New York City-looking facade and sitting on a stoop with legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band. The video was shot before Clarence fell ill after suffering a stroke on Sunday.

Though the video is stripped down to the basics, Gaga’s wardrobe isn’t as the fashion icon rocks a black and white bob wig with a gold-studded leather vest of sorts and black stockings. Showing off her impeccably fit body, Gaga up and down the fire escape, writhing and sliding around on the rails singing the electro power ballad.
