After a detour recording torch songs and jazz standards, Lady Gaga returned with a flourish to pop music on Friday, with the release of her new song “Perfect Illusion”. I’m not saying not to use your phone, I’m not that insane.
The 30-year-old USA superstar is appearing alongside presenter Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1′s Breakfast Show live on Friday morning.
In recent years Gaga has toned down her outrageous and extravagant attire, which once famously included an outfit made of raw meat.
‘There are also a lot of things on the internet that are not reality. During the chat she revealed her upcoming fifth solo album will feature a collaboration with the Florence + The Machine singer.
According to Billboard, Gaga revealed the inspiration behind the song at the iHeartRadio Music Summit last month. The song states “It wasn’t love/ It wasn’t love/ It was a ideal illusion”, making fans think the song is reminiscent of her five-year relationship with Kinney.
“I will quit when we start doing TV and stuff, but I try to look at things in perspective”, she said.
For her big return to the pop scene, Gaga enlisted music producer Mark Ronson who earlier collaborated with Bruno Mars for “Uptown Funk”, Kevin Parker from rock band Tame Impala and BloodPop who was a producer on Justin Bieber’s “Sorry”. “I will say, we did work with Beck on the record, and someone else that’s very exciting”. “It’s about wanting people to re-establish that human connection”.

“I just thought, ‘Who do I want to sing with?’ She’s really to me if not the best, one of the greatest vocalists in the world”. Changed the melody, shifted it. “There was a whole process that was just me and Mark, a piano, a typewriter and a guitar”.
