Lady Gaga has spoken out about what to expect from her next album - revealing that the record has been inspired by American Horror story and that the songs will be 'less painful' for her than those on ARTPOP.
The meat-dress loving shock-pop icon, with an estimated net worth of $230million after launching her own perfume range alongside her music and acting career, was speaking to friend and actor James Franco for V Magazine - where she reveals that working on the hit US TV show American Horror Story has had a profound impact on her.
“When I wasn’t working on the show I was truly miserable because I had no safe house to get out any of my vices,” says Gaga.
“Now I have a safe house for my vices so when I’m making music I just have a lot more clarity. I have a little less of an instinct to be reckless with my music now because I’m reckless in other places. So now I’m thinking more about what it is I want to say and what I want to leave on Earth.”
When quizzed on how much 'pain' will feature on the album, she replies: “It’s less an expression of all my pain. There will be some of my pain on the record for sure, but it will be more than that.”
“My last album was riddled with a ton of pain. That whole record. It’s almost like you couldn’t even get to what it is. Now, the show gives me an outlet to put things somewhere, so when I get to the piano I’m in a deeper place already. I have something completely other to explore.”
Her last album ARTPOP was viewed by many as somewhat of a commercial flop, after the record received mixed and fairly negative reviews from critics.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga was named as Billboard's Woman Of The Year, raised awareness of sexual assaulting through a powerful video, and has spent much of her time writing, recording and touring with swing legend Tony Bennett.
