Isn't Lele a huge Little Monster who claims Gaga as her #1 inspiration? That makes it even funnier that her songs are always being called "new unheard Gaga leaks"

I found the script of an interview and apparently she does. 

Spoiler

 

Rhyme Junkie: Taking a look and listen through your soundcloud and I’m sure you got this before but you have a sound very similar to Gaga…

LeLe XO: I heard that before. My new sound I’m moving away from that but it did get me some of my fans originally. I don’t regret having a similar sound to Gaga or people saying that.

Rhyme Junkie: Was it intentional to have a sound similar to her or was it organic?

LeLe XO: It definitely wasn’t intentional. I’m naturally gaudy like that but I’m not Gaga and never tried to be. I grew up to her as a teenager and it became engrained in me.

Rhyme Junkie: Those (Gaga) comparisions don’t bother you, do they?

LeLe XO: No. She’s awesome.

Rhyme Junkie: Some artists will hear that they are compared to so and so and it will drive them crazy and they’ll say they’re their own person.

LeLe XO: I mean people have to connect people to other people. Whatever you see first, anything that reminds you of it makes you go “they sound like this person or look like that person.”

Rhyme Junkie: The need to associate something that’s new with something familiar to make it comfortable.

LeLe XO: Exactly. Once you get used to them and see more that they do, you start to see it as their own.

Rhyme Junkie: You said you’re moving away from the Gaga like sound and listening to your music it sounds like early Gaga.

LeLe XO: Yeah which is my favorite stuff from Gaga. Listening to it for so long naturally in my head my songs sounded like Gaga. Since I hear the comparison so much I don’t want people to just think that that’s all I am. I haven’t decided on where to go with my new sound.

Rhyme Junkie: You said Gaga was a musical influence for you. Do you have any others?

LeLe XO: Yea definitely. When I was a lot younger it was Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff. Teenage years was a lot of Gaga and Paramore. Currently, it’s Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Ray, Michael Jackson.
