Andrew Watt spoke to People Magazine and shared some very interesting information about the process of creating MAYHEM! 

[…] Gaga and [her fiancé] Michael Polansky invited me over their house before we started the album. It was after we did the Stones [collab] together [“Sweet Sounds of Heaven.”] I was sitting with them and was playing a couple tracks that I had, and things started flowing from her. We just decided to get into the studio soon after that. She has done so many different types of music throughout her career. There's nothing she can't do. So when we went to make this album, I think we were touching on all of [the genres she’s covered]. As an artist, she's always learning, always evolving, always pushing herself. The work ethic is out of this world. And it just became apparent from the stuff that we started making that we were making a dance album.

[…] She's there thinking about the entire world she's going to build when she does a song. There's layers to what she does. First, she has to figure out the notes and the lyrics and the vibe of what she's going to do and create that. That, for a lot of people, is where it ends. You write a song, you put your vocal on it. Boom, that's it. Not for Gaga. She then takes that song home, figures out which part of her is going to sing the narrative, how she has to sing it. Does she have to sing it harder? Does she have to sing it softer? How is she going to deliver the vocal? She learns every inflection of what she did and comes back [and] sings it for hours and hours until she finds the right character.

Then you're trying to have a conversation with her, and she's not there. She went somewhere, and then she comes back, she's like, "Sorry, I was thinking about how this is going to look on stage, how this is the world that I'm going to build for this." She sees every single detail of what her art is going to be and how grand a scale it's going to become. It's unlike anyone else I've ever worked with.

Isn’t it weird that suddenly everyone started talking about Gaga and mentioning her? I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist but it is so eery and weird. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.

Why not?  I would love it if she started an american spice girls group with Arriana Grande, Taylor Swift, Cardi B and Addison Rae

It's not that weird that the main producer of Mayhem would be talking about Mayhem

I'm not following your line of thinking, but I don't think it's weird for people she's worked with to get asked about her. Especially in the year of Mayhem when her career is at a new pique. She's a hot topic right now.

It's cool that if she never stumbled upon the Rolling Stones recording Sweet Sounds of Heaven in the same building, we wouldn't have Mayhem. Is it known what she was recording there at the time?

This is what I like to read. We know just from a couple interviews about this process they went through while making Mayhem and love to know all details. 

Thank God she was there while the Rolling Stones were recording music and they decided to get together.
