Lady Gaga ARTPOP album 'experimental' claims producer Zedd
German DJ has worked on 'five or six' potential LP tracks
- Will the tracks from the new album reflect the singers tough time in the months before the recording began? In a startlingly honest letter to her fans, Gaga revealed in August that the past twelve months have been amongst the worst of her life. The 'Born This Way' singer said that both professionally and personally many things have gone wrong for her including self-confidence issues about her body image and the betrayal of lifelong friends.

German DJ and producer, Zedd has claimed his work with Lady Gaga for her forthcoming album ARTPOP has been 'experimental', but 'pretty f**king cool'.
23-year-old Zedd has revealed that he has worked on 'around five or six' potential tracks for Gaga's Born This Way follow-up which is expected to be released later this year.
The German producer told Rolling Stone: "I'm really, really excited for people to hear what we came up with. I just really can't imagine they would not like it, to just say it straight up. I think the stuff we've made is pretty f**king cool."
"There's obviously more ideas and half-finished songs, but I'm not sure what she will want to put on the album. That is all her decision."

Zedd's presence on the album has led to fans expecting a more electronic approach from Gaga, but the producer has revealed the pair had no intentions to make a genre specific record.
He added: "We didn't try to make an EDM album – but, at the same time, we didn't try not to make an EDM album. I've done a lot of stuff that's really outside of what I usually do.
"There was one song that started from her just giving me, like, 10 words to describe an emotion, and then I had to make this into music. It's been a very experimental way of approaching music."

Zedd was also full of praise for Gaga as he explained what is was like to work with the pop icon, saying, "It's amazing, because she does not have to please anyone, and she is who she is. Her first idea of how we should approach the music was just to be completely open – nothing is too crazy.
"Whatever is dope is dope. We do whatever we want, and we don't have to make a song that's 3 minutes and 30 seconds just to fit the radio."
