Lady Gaga says being on American Horror Story has influenced her next album

  • January 8, 2016

Lady Gaga

'3‑Way (The Golden Rule)' hitmaker Lady Gaga has said that her new album will be less painful than 'Artpop'.

Having a chat to her good friend James Franco for V magazine, Gaga said that working on American Horror Story had allowed her a place to put all her pain and misery, which should mean less of it has to go in her music.

“When I wasn’t working on the show I was truly miserable because I had no safe house to get out any of my vices,” she mused.

“Now I have a safe house for my vices so when I’m making music I just have a lot more clarity. I have a little less of an instinct to be reckless with my music now because I’m reckless in other places. So now I’m thinking more about what it is I want to say and what I want to leave on Earth.”

So is the new album more or less of an expres­sion of all her pain?

“It’s less an expres­sion of all my pain. There will be some of my pain on the record for sure, but it will be more than that."

"My last album was riddled with a ton of pain. That whole record. It’s almost like you couldn’t even get to what it is. Now, the show gives me an outlet to put things somewhere, so when I get to the piano I’m in a deeper place already. I have something com­pletely other to explore."

As long as it's at least as good as 'The Fame Monster' we'll all be happy. Good.
