Lady Gaga's as-yet-untitled sophomore album has a hard act to follow as the follow-up to the pop phenomenon's chart-topping debut, The Fame, but Gaga says she is up for the challenge. Wearing sky-high platforms and a barely-there black bathing suit-like contraption, Lady Gaga appears on the cover of Rolling Stone's June 23 issue, and inside the pages of the music magazine she offers insight about her forthcoming new album.
"I think I'm gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo," she said. "I've been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it's finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don't. I write music every day."
Rolling Stone contributing editor Neil Strauss chatted with her backstage before and after one of her Monster Ball shows across the pond in England, and the 24-year-old singer was uncharacteristically candid about her public persona, transformation from Stefani Germanotta to Lady Gaga and health issues. Disclosing the secret to her confidence, she told Strauss, "When I wake up in the morning, I feel like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, 'B*TCH, you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.'" And boy does she walk the walk!
Also in the pages of Rolling Stone, the singer reveals that a particularly bad breakup served as a catalyst for her transformation. Gaga tells Rolling Stone's Neil Strauss that if a certain East Village boy hadn't broken her heart five years ago, she wouldn't be as successful as she is today. Lady Gaga is more focused on her many fans-whom she calls her "Little Monsters"-than finding romance currently, saying, "If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I'd come out as Gaga."
Revealing that she is inspired by the late pop icon Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga added, "Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove to damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business. That's what we do."
Now that Lady Gaga has achieved the amount of fame she sang about on her debut album, her lyrics are more angry and political than what fans have seen before. Hinting at what her "Little Monsters" can expect from her sophomore album, "And I have been for three years baking cakes-and now I'm going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly. The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be." We're guessing Lady Gaga's fans will eat up any kind of cake she is baking!
Although The singer has been talking about her forthcoming new album, she is currently on tour promoting her debut. Lady Gaga's 2010 North American Monster Ball Tour kicks off in Montreal on June 28 and she will remain on the road through 2011. "Little Monsters" can get Lady Gaga tickets online to see her perform hits like "Alejandro" this summer and in the beginning of 2011.
