Same for Beyonce. Although Beyonce's influence on Rihanna has always been more subtle. Lady Gaga's has been absolutely blatant. Did you ever think that Rihanna of all would copy her? Katy and Ke$ha were never surprising.

Yeah but I mean it's not surprising. Most artists copy Lady Gaga.
DIAMANDIS: For the last record, I created a character for Electra Heart. A lot of that album was very much dealing with a sassy and girly aesthetic. So that kind of colored the whole year with floppy, pink glitter, which I very much enjoyed. Now, I'm 29 years old, and it's very natural to evolve, especially with this album because it sounds so different. With this one I've been referencing more '70s stuff, a lot of suits, actually. All of them are quite feminine though—something that makes me feel quite feminine and strong is what I'm into.
Immortal is truly Avant Garde

DIAMANDIS: For example, for myself, a song like "Immortal," which deals with mortality—I probably wouldn't have that conversation with friends. I probably wouldn't hear a lot of songs on the radio with the same subject matter. It talks about death and how we relate to it. It talks about things that we think about that aren't that strange or dark—they're universal issues.
