It has not been yet confirmed how many of those songs, if any, will make the album, which is scheduled for release later this year.
Mark Ronson: Gaga's upcoming record is 'honest, authentic, and analog'
RedOne is the man behind some of Lady Gaga's best-selling hits, including "Just Dance," "Poker Face," "Bad Romance," and "Alejandro." Aside from the singles, he's also produced such gems as "Scheiße," "Monster," and "Hair." Gaga's 2013 album ARTPOP was her first not to feature any tracks produced by RedOne, however, he did co-write the fan favorite "Gypsy."
"With Gaga, I'm fully committed until we're done. We're just going to work on writing songs until we get hopefully the best album of the decade," RedOne said of working on LG5 last year. "The new material feels great. And that's what it is like with me and her – when we both feel great, it's incredible. A lot of it is to do with trust, no ego, just love for the music. And when it's fun and respectful, putting the egos aside, it's magic."
Other collaborators on the album include Mark Ronson, Diane Warren, Elton John, and DJ White Shadow.
