MonsterMum 2,532 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Interviewed by the Rolling Stone it reads: She'd previously written with pop stars like Miley Cyrus (who has deep Nashville ties) and Shakira, but Lady Gaga was something else entirely. "It's very rare that you get these calls," says Lindsey, "but when you do it's always a ride." In any case, it's not the kind of opportunity many songwriters would turn down. "You say yes because you just want to do it," says Lindsey. "Here in [Nashville] we obviously write country songs but there's a lot of pop writing going on here too. But it's different when you're asked to write with the artist. It's amazing to be in the room with an artist and to get in their head and to get into their world." "She is a badass songwriter," Lindsey says. "Pretty much everything she said, I'm like, 'That's a title! You've gotta either stop talking or you've gotta let me come live here for a month, because everything you say is a song.' It was just the two of us and it was just a very natural process, a straight-up songwriting process. The only thing different is she writes her lyrics out on an old school typewriter, which I freakin' love." Their conversations and a few glasses of wine gave rise to a third Lindsey song on Joanne. "Grigio Girls," which mixes electronic percussion with a strummed acoustic guitar, piano and warm vinyl record crackle, serves as a weary rallying cry for friends helping one another through the tough times, bottle in hand – the album's titular Joanne even makes a brief appearance. "Make it all make sense," Gaga sings, intoning a slight twang at the end of the line. "I picked up the acoustic and we started playing around with it and we were just laughing and having a good time," says Lindsey. "We didn't think it was a real song but it ended up being a real song. We were just kind of messing around. And she took it to a very personal place."

Hades 27,980 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I like artists like Gaga who spend their time with writers and collaborate. I can't stand artists like Rihanna who just record over a demo and have no knowledge of the song or the story behind it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,141 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Just imagine Gaga calling you to work with her. I think they really clicked. She clicks in some aspects with Mark but they don't seem very compatible on a musical level. But she really clicks with Hillary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she really clicks with Hillary I think with Mark she clicks on a production and "sound" level, as in having the same thoughts as to how something must sound. But with song writing she maybe indeed connected better with Hillary. Seeing also how she wanted to have the album a female/sisterly touch, in which obviously Hillary fitted into that picture.

Sister 9,907 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This is cute. It just seems so off the cuff and fun. I want a chance like that of writing something with Gaga. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipper 12,995 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hillary Lindsey was so cute during the performances in the dive bar. She's quite shy and trying to hide behind Gaga but she no doubt have a lot of talent. Song writers build the words and the story behind the music we sing. We should truly be thankful for songwriters and applaud Gaga for striving to be authentic and being part of the writing process unlike other artists today! 💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
