MICHAEL BOLTON AND LADY GAGA TEAM UP

Tweet

Veteran crooner Michael Bolton found an unlikely writing partner to help him with his new album - pop sensation Lady Gaga.

Bolton had no idea who the Poker Face hitmaker was when she approached him to offer her services, shortly before her career exploded.He explains, I was taking a break from production when my manager and the label tag-teamed me on the phone about writing with a young artist named Lady Gaga who I had never heard of - but they were raving about - they said that she was a huge fan of mine and wanted to write with me.The pair gelled and Bolton's convinced great things beckon for Gaga: When I met her in the studio later that night, I realised she was not only about to have a big hit record but Gaga was a superstar about to launch - her energy was so high and her focus excited me. She reminded me of a young Madonna - with more exuberance and emphasis on the art rather than the marketing.Their collaborations will feature on One World One Love, which hits stores next month (Sep09).
