Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga to Make 'Big Swinging' Jazz Album

by David Greenwald, L.A. | September 28, 2012 8:38 EDT

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga will team up once again -- this time on a full album.

The multi-generational duo, who performed "The Lady is a Tramp" together on Bennett's "Duets II" album, intend to make a jazz album together.

"'Of all things, she called me from New Zealand and said, 'I want to do a jazz album with you,'" Bennett told Rolling Stone. "A lot of people don't know it, but she's a phenomenal jazz singer."

For material, the album will draw on a to-be-announced composer -- one Bennett says deserves more notice.

"I can't mention the composer because I don't want anybody to do it before we do it, but there's a great composer that's very underrated, very famous, but not as famous as Gershwin or Porter," he said. "But he did as many hit songs as anybody, and so we're gonna do a big swinging album."

Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" Will be an Interactive App

Bennett's own "Viva Duets" is due Oct. 23, the latest album for the tireless musician. The singer, now 86, says he'll start on the Gaga project "as soon as I can." Gaga herself will return with "ARTPOP" in 2013, an album that will double as a multimedia experience.

"The most major way to fully immerse yourself in 'ARTPOP' is through the app," Gaga said in a statement earlier this month. "'ARTPOP' will be released as an iPad, iPhone, mobile and computer compatible application that is completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, Gaga-inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more still in the works!"

Looking for the pre-sale code for Atlanta tickets. I think they go on sale Monday morning...

[Lozzy]

Jazz album! I have my doubts that it will actually happen, but it sounds good. I loved their recording of "The Lady Is A Tramp".

[josh]

Jazz isn't particularly my thing, but I enjoyed their duet. She sounded really good. I think doing the album could be good for her reputation, getting out some different material that's "normal" you know? haha

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

If she can win praise of jazz critics and important jazz figures, it would work for her. I doubt it'll happen though. There's always talk about "wanting" to make collaborations that never happens.

[Agent Yoncé]

My wish is coming true!!!

[Kurt]

I so hope that happens. Ever since hearing "The Lady Is A Tramp," I said that she'd do a good jazz album, which was only further proven by the live EP last holiday. Bring it on, Gaga!

[Myeahhh.]

That's the first thing I thought. I don't think it would really get me excited, but it would definitely add some artistic credibility to her portfolio (not that she needs anymore, but maybe to the general public she does).

GaGa is looking really great and healthy these days. She looked damn near anorexic last year.



Edit: I just saw the article about her having an eating disorder. I figured something was up when she said that some days she dosen't eat at all, and the media needs to f**k off about her weight gain. She's not fat at all she looks very healthy, and better than she did before.

[Deleted]

She's not fat at all. I agree she looks sexier now with some meat on her.

Just When You Thought Lady Gaga Couldn't Get Any More Awesome




As the editor of the Celebrity 100, I’ve been impressed by Lady Gaga for the last few years. She’s made a ton of money ($142 million in the last two years by our count) by churning out great pop music and happily working with corporate America while remaining one of the most unique celebrities in the world.

She’s also been a model celebrity when it comes to connecting with her fans. Few are more honest and more engaged that Gaga. She shares what she feels even when it gets her in trouble like when she wrote that she was eating a salad but dreaming of a cheese burger.

Some took issue with Gaga for that tweet because she has always been such an outspoken advocate of her Little Monsters loving themselves for who they are and not giving in to the pressure to be thin that so often results in serious eating disorders. But I loved that tweet. So many celebrities publicize how they lost weight just by eating grilled chicken and fruit for lunch and doing yoga three times a week and how really easy it was.

But anyone who has actually struggled with weight knows it’s incredibly hard and that often, when we’re eating salads, we’re dreaming of cheese burgers and that pop stars only look the way they do because of lots of uncomfortable, hard work (and good genes).

Now Gaga is in the spotlight again because of weight with some web sites criticizing her for gaining weight. Radar said that Gaga has piled on the pounds with others speculating (of course) that she’s pregnant.

Instead of hiding under her bed and crying. Gaga has posted photos of herself in a skimpy bikini (looking healthy and amazing) and started a Body Revolution section of her website where she is encouraging other girls to post photos of themselves with pride.

It’s such a smart move. Gaga is once again reaching out to her many fans and making them part of what she’s going through. And she’s doing it in such an empowering way. I don’t know many stars who would turn this kind of criticism into a social media opportunity but Gaga has done it with style and class.

Other celebrities could take some lessons from Gaga. If you can honestly engage your fan base, they’ll be there for you no matter what and you can turn to them for help in times of PR crises.

I really hope that moves like this can make a difference and give girls confidence to feel comfortable in their own bodies.

I don’t know that it can counteract the much heavier weight of a thousand skinny stars flaunting their size zero figures. But it’s also worth mentioning here Lena Dunham’s fantastic appearance in the Emmy opening video. Several actresses hear sobbing from a bathroom stall and open the door to find Dunham naked, eating a cake, not crying guiltily but munching away happily. Way to go Dunham and Gaga.

No.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

No, what?

[Keelzit]

I thought the ARTPOP tattoo was located on her right hand. ???

This isn't the XLtina thread.

GaGa looks great body-wise all the time. She was bordering too thin once during TFM era but that's about it.

[josh]

Gaga just tweeted about Zedd's new album, and said he's "produced many records for ARTPOP"

I remember reading somewhere about her working with an unknown, great producer or something, so I assume it's him.

[josh]

Partynauseous
I apologize to the fans that this situation with Partynausous is confusing. To it clear it up I must explain this. When I collaborate with an artist i work solely with them, not with their camps or management. Its purely organic and creative. I love Kendrick dearly as a friend, but was not willing to compromise musically to the changes his team was making to my music. This is why I am not his record. I have a very specific vision as a producer and songwriter, and I always have. That song will be released at a different time, for a different project. I love you, and think you should check out his stuff because he is truly great. He's a good kid, its just sometimes a mad city. -LG

[when the pawn...]

So she's not on that other "B**** Don't Kill My Vibe" song either?

He is really talented so I'll be checking out his album regardless but that's disappointing to hear.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I wrote an article for my school's online publication about Lady GaGa and the recent "negative media" she's received:

The irony of this is just too rich and unneeded.

I also agree that Gaga looks better with a little weight on like her... it's not like she's fat or anything. If anything she looks a lot healthier.

[Mpol]

She said after those pics of her in concert leaked a few weeks back, she is looking to get into shape.

And yes in that time she ate a lot of dad's pasta and enjoyed herself. Awesome. But she is back at it, getting into shape but not stupidly so. I want those curves to be part of her shape. Toned sure but curvs suit a young Us/Italian like her. It also softens her face, having a little more weight.

[Keelzit]

I don't want her to be skinny but I prefer the body she had in the BTW video than that of the pics above. Let's face it, GaGa is nor beautiful or ugly by any means so the slimmer she gets the better she looks. Leave the curves to Monica Belucci and Bayonse. She can't pull that look off imo.

This is my favorite look of hers

I explained it in more detail on my site earlier today if you'd like to read more about it: www.voiceradio.us/threads/lady-gaga-asks-fans-to-build-new-song-through-little-monsters-soundcloud.6527/#post-10096 :)

[Keelzit]

If this is an example for what we should expect from ARTPOP then I'm in. This is exactly the sound I wanted from her. Scheisse meets Lovegame <3

[josh]

I feel like listening to Zedd's album would be a good indication, since he's produced several songs for her album.

Oh one of his songs from his album Clarity is free on iTunes. I believe it's the title track. :)

[God]

Same thing happens to me when I listen to "Edge of Glory" too. </3

[Deleted]

First Justin Bieber and now Lady Gaga. They're such trend setters. I'm sure all of our favourite artists will be throwing up on stage in the next few months. :'(

But yeah, weird to have two incidents like that near the same time.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Is it just me is the vomit red? :/ And is she making herself do it?

It seems odd. Maybe it's just me because I never throw up but I wonder how common it is for pop singers to do it and why it happens. Overworked?
