Lady Gaga’s New Album Will Be ‘Shocking,’ Says Producer RedOne

As anticipation grows around Lady Gaga’s new album, which Gaga has asserted is her “best work to date,” so do the rumors.

On August 12, 2010, celebrity blog Oh No They Didn’t posted a scan of a document which hinted that Gaga may have collaborated with David Bowie during a July recording session in Sydney, Australia in July. Bowie, however, quickly shot down the rumor, saying in a statement, “The suggestion that David Bowie is producing and participating in the production of Lady Gaga’s next album is untrue and a hoax.”

While he couldn’t reveal any specific information about the album, producer RedOne — the Moroccan-Swedish mastermind behind Gaga’s monster hits “Just Dance,” “Love Game,” “Poker Face,” “Bad Romance” and “Alejandro” — assures Billboard that the new material is worth waiting for.

“It’s going to be shocking, shocking, shocking!” RedOne says of Gaga’s new music. “You never want to go too far from your brand — people love you for a reason. But we still want to give them something with a kick, something that makes them say, ‘Oh my God! We didn’t expect this!'”
