Michael Bolton teams up with Lady GaGa for new album

Washington: Michael Bolton has teamed up with Lady GaGa who helped pen songs for his forthcoming new album.The singer revealed he had no idea who the pop sensation was before being approached by her.

"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," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. The two apparently hit it off while working on ‘One World One Love’ with the veteran crooner singing praises for his writing partner. He added: "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."
