Nile Rodgers talks working with Lady Gaga: 'She's a real musician'

Famed disco guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers shares his experience of working with Lady Gaga on new songs for her upcoming album, due out next year.

"She's the greatest, I love her," he told Time Out. "How can you not love someone who sings her ass off, comes to the studio looking like a million dollars but will stay there all night if you want. And just let you change a song, rewrite it and let you do all sorts of stuff, and she's cool with it. She'll experiment, she's a real musician – she’s what every composer and producer wants to work with."

Lady Gaga recently made headlines when she covered Chic's "I Want Your Love," which Rodgers co-wrote with Bernard Edwards in 1978.

Lady Gaga's next studio album is set for a 2016 release. Besides Rodgers, RedOne is another producer confirmed for the project.

"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. "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."
