German DJ Zedd has spoken about the “experimental approach” taken when producing Lady Gaga’s forthcoming album.
‘Artpop’ is Gaga’s follow up to 2011’s ‘Born This Way’, with Zedd saying he’s “really, really excited” for people to hear the outcome of the unusual recording process.
“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.” He said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. “It’s amazing, because 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.”
He has warned that what they have made may not be as radio friendly as Gaga’s previous work: “Whatever is dope is dope. We do whatever we want, and we don’t have to make a song that’s three minutes and 30 seconds just to fit the radio!”
“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.” He said about the album’s sound. “There was one song that started from her just giving me, like, ten words to describe an emotion, and then I had to make this into music. It’s been a very experimental way of approaching music.”
It has been reported that Gaga had begun preparing outfits for the ‘Artpop’ campaign, which is set for a late 2013 release!
