Elton John working on Lady Gaga's “killer” new album

PanARMENIAN.Net - Even more reasons to be excited about Lady Gaga's new album - as it appears she's got a helping hand from none other than Sir Elton John, Gigwise reports.

The 'Rocket Man' was in conversation with Zane Lowe for his Beats 1 radio show, when he opened up about the collaboration - adding that the tracks he'd heard were sounding 'killer' and in the same spirit as her earlier material.

"I'm writing with Gaga tomorrow," Sir Elton told Zane last night. "I've heard two songs, which are killer. They're just great songs. It's like back to the early stuff of hers - like 'You and I' and the Bruce Springsteen one (as I always call it), 'Bad Romance'."

Speaking of the relative flop of Gaga's last album, Sir Elton continued: "ARTPOP was not a great idea. It was not a good album and I think she would admit that. Then in the midst of that, she did three things which were kind of amazing. She did the whole tour and album with Tony Bennett, which did amazingly well. She sang the Julie Andrews tribute at the Oscars, which everybody loved. And she was on American Horror Story.

"I think she's a great writer. To me, she is Stefani Germanotta and I love her and I care about her - she's godmother to my two children. And I want her to go and make a kind of simple, fabulous, great song record. Maybe like Tapestry, but her version."

Sir Elton added: "I've heard two of the songs and they're not complex... They're not complex arrangements, but they are great songs. It's all about the song."

Meanwhile, Gaga recently revealed that her next album is 'inspired by American Horror Story' and will be 'much less painful than ARTPOP'.
