Lady Gaga Recording Second Jazz Album With Tony Bennett
Lady Gaga is set to record a second jazz album with Tony Bennett.
The 29-year-old "Just Dance" singer and 89-year-old crooner will be working together again following last year's successful release "Cheek to Cheek." Bennett himself confirmed the news in a recent interview with Vulture.
"Yeah, we're doing an album" Bennett said. "It's going to be all Cole Porter songs. He was the best writer of all of them in the Great American Songbook. Highly intelligent. We're going to have a lot of fun doing that."
The duo released their first jazz album, "Cheek to Cheek," on Sept. 19, 2014. Singles produced from the album included "Anything Goes" and "I Can't Give You Anything but Love." The album managed to reach the top of the U.S. Bilboard 200 chart as well.
During the interview, Bennett spoke on his appreciation for the young singer.
"Gaga is a gorgeous singer, and when she sings a great ballad, I get goose bumps," Bennett said. "She helped me and I helped her by doing 'Cheek to Cheek.' Through her telling her audience how much she likes me, all of them became fans of mine, all these young teenagers. On the other hand, by her singing these beautiful songs on the album, the audience I have, all of them said, 'God, I never knew she sang that wonderfully.' So we both helped one another. We get along great. She's got a lot of talent."
At the moment, Mother Monster is busy working on her own music, which will eventually come together into her fifth studio album. She's been seen in the studio working on the project with RedOne, whom she previously worked with on "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance."
Meanwhile, Gaga is also busy playing the role of The Countess on "American Horror Story: Hotel." The singer made her debut on the show, which was created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, on Oct. 7.
Gaga joins the show with fellow cast members including Kathy Bates, Matt Bomer, Sarah Paulson, Wes Bentley, Angela Bassett, Naomi Campbell, Chloe Sevigny, Max Greenfield, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe and Darren Criss.
"American Horror Story: Hotel" airs on FX Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
