Gaga on the kinds of songs/producers people want from her
Quote:
What sort of thing are people writing for you? What do they think Lady Gaga should sing about?
Boys and dicks. *****. *****. 'I'm in the club'. It's funny because there's not really one song on this album that's about any of that. There's no songs about getting drunk in a nightclub. 'Electric Chapel' is the closest. 'Government Hooker' is very filthy and sexual... But... There are no songs that are all 'ooh I want you in my bed', although they do feel very sexy. Very soulful, but not in a 'soul music' kind of way. I think people are now becoming slightly blind to the outfits and they're asking what the ****'s underneath it. And that's where this album comes in.

You've worked with RedOne on a couple of tracks but most of the work has been with White Shadow and Fernando, who aren't very well known for such a high profile album. That's the sort of decision that ****s off big producers, isn't it?
But wouldn't it defy everything I stand for if I were to just hop over to a superproducer and ask them for a hit?
Musical integrity > #1 hits
She ain't gonna go runnin' to Dr. Luke just 'cause she wants a hit. She's gonna work with real producers who can produce fresh and new content and not **** that sounds like every other song on the radio.
Most of her songs should be about quality and not being only commercial like in the "Born This Way" album and not "club and sex" songs, but I would love 1 or 2 songs like that in an album. It's not something THAT bad - as long as the entire album isn't only about that. The Fame Monster had Telephone and I enjoyed it. The Fame had a lot of them.
