LG5 is "back to the early stuff like BR + Y&I" - Elton John
Quote:
"I'm writing with Gaga tomorrow. She's doing a new record. I've heard two songs which are killer, they're just great songs, it's like back to the early stuff of hers - "You & I" and the Bruce Springsteen ballad "Bad Romance". She made some bad career decisions, ARTPOP was not a good idea, it was not a good album, I think she will admit that. In the midst of that, last year, which was 2015, 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 everyone 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 care about her, she's the godmother of my two children. I want her to make a simple, fabulous, great song record. Maybe like Tapestry, but her version of Tapestry. I heard two of the songs. They're not complex arrangements, but they're great songs. It's all about the song." - Elton John
