Lady Gaga Confirms Florence Welch Collaboration

The rumors were true! Lady Gaga's upcoming album, due out this year, will feature a collaboration with English indie musician Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine. 

"There is a feature on the album that I think you will be very excited about," Gaga told Nick Grimshaw while co-hosting BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show earlier today. "Me and Florence Welch did a duet together. I started to work on an idea for a song that I really wanted to do with a girl. You'll see why when you hear the music and what the song is about. I just thought, 'Who do I want to sing with?' She's really to me if not the best, one of the greatest vocalists in the world. She's incredible."

Rumors of a possible collaboration between the musicians surfaced last month when Florence shared an Instagram picture of her standing in front of a blue Ford Bronco – the same custom vintage car that Gaga owns.

Lady Gaga's fifth pop album is scheduled for release later this year. The record's lead single "Perfect Illusion" dropped today and is available to purchase on all platforms.
