We already know that Gaga is again in the process of creating new music for her next album, and now very-well recognized producer RedOne, the mastermind behing Gaga's previous hit singles such as 'Just Dance', 'Poker Face,' 'Bad Romance,' 'Alejandro' and 'Gypsy' speak exclusively to The National about Gaga's follow-up to 2013's ARTPOP, wich he promises as "the album of the decade".
Nadir Khayat aka RedOne also revealed he's working on his first debut solo album, likely feature Lady Gaga, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Priyanka Chopra. Also revealed that songwriting sessions are taking place in Los Angeles and confirmed that Giorgio Moroder was involved in the project.
Right now I’m again working with Lady Gaga – it’s been a big thing for both of us. We took a little break from each other and now it feels like we are in a good place, both of us. She did her thing, I did my thing, and it feels like we’re back on track together.
With Gaga, I’m fully committed until we’re done – we’re just going to work on writing songs – 20, 30, 40 songs – until we get hopefully the best album of the decade. The new material feels great. And that’s what it is like with me and her – when we both feel great, it’s incredible. A lot of it is to do with trust, no ego, just love for the music. And when it’s fun and respectful, putting the egos aside, it’s magic.
The producer exclusively revealed plans for his solo debut, titled RedOne Presents, which he hopes to release before the year's out. He wants Pitbull in his record, despite having collaborated on more than a dozen tunes together.
Honestly I haven’t spoken to Pitbull yet. I’ve spoken to Gaga, a few other people, Enrique Iglesias. I can’t tell you [if they said yes], I can’t speak for them. They think it’s exciting, because they’re my buddies, but it’s not just about the artists – it’s about their labels, their rights, so there’s no ‘yes’ until it’s cleared from all angles. But of course I have a lot of friends, and they’re all willing to help. It’s going to be a fun album for sure
