Lady Gaga‘s fiery anthemic comeback single ‘Perfect Illusion’ remains a hot topic almost a week after its release.
Hailed by most, the Mark Ronson production has also received critique from some corners – particularly from those wishing a return to the “sound” she debuted with; a Pop/Urban/Dance fusion cooked up in collaboration with RedOne.
Their calls weren’t far-fetched either, given that Gaga had indeed hit the studio with her former right-hand man.
Yet, with Red revealing in recent months that he didn’t know the status of said songs and that he no longer had the first single, many feared the much-desired reunion would not come to fruition. Especially with Mother Monster naming Ronson executive producer.
Fret not, though, because in an insightful new interview, Gaga confirms the ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Poker Face’ producer is featured.
Full story below…
The reveal came during a sit-down on Sway In The Morning.
Little was divulged other than the asserting that “RedOne is on the album. It’s a beautiful song.”
Hit play to listen…
While we hope the song does indeed deliver, on paper it’s a smart move.
Gaga is clearly trying to evolve and advance her sound, yet there is (and likely always will be) an understandable demand for the familiar.
Here’s hoping she’s cooked up something compelling with Red, rather than an obvious ode to nostalgia. They have great chemistry, so we’re ultra optimistic.
No Lie Mariah should hit up Walter for some new classics too, they dominated the 90s like MJ and Quincy did with OTW, Thriller, and Bad.
I wonder why she stopped working with him? Surely not because of Tommy?
When Mariah and Tommy divorced, Walter aligned himself with Tommy/Sony. In recent years there’s been some shade from Walter, especially about the Christmas stuff. He did some interviews trying to take more credit for writing AIWFCIY even though in past interviews he’s clearly said Mariah comes up with melody and lyrics and arrangements and he did more instrumentation, etc. I think he is daughter tweeted some shady stuff too in the past.
Well damn.
Hopefully single number 2 is from redone cause the 1st is her worst song ever made
Gaga is one of Pop’s leading lady’s… I don’t understand why “some” of you don’t like “Perfect Illusion”. It’s original, & different from current Pop songs… most of the songs occupying the Top 40 right now are either EDM, Trap, or DanceHall inspired. There are too many EDM, Trap, & DanceHall songs out right now, so I appauld her for doing something different. “Perfect Illusion” isn’t bad at all. Y’all hate on true talent… Gaga, Ciara, & everyone else who doesn’t “sale” many albums. Sales don’t define an artist’s true talent… It only shows how corrupt this industry is.
Boo, it’s not 2010 anymore.
Whatever. Nice. I can only focus on the fact Florence is on Lady Gaga´s pucking album! That´s amazing. Can´t wait.
flop
RedOne did a song called “Gypsy” on her last album. I’m glad they still work together but idk why she hardly uses him anymore because they always create magic.
Why can’t these comments ever stay on topic anymore lol
Wow nice
