Overnight singing sensation Lady Gaga is heading in a rather interesting direction by working with the least likely person you could think of: Michael Bolton.

Bolton has revealed that Lady “Papa Papa Paparazzi” Gaga wrote songs for his next album, the delightfully named (not) “One World One Love.” Bolton though had no idea who she was when he was first approached.

“I was taking a break from production when my manager and the label tag-teamed me on the phone about writing with a young artist named Lady Gaga who I had never heard of – but they were raving about – they said that she was a huge fan of mine and wanted to write with me,” Bolton told a UK Magazine. .

“When I met her in the studio later that night, I realized she was not only about to have a big hit record but Gaga was a superstar about to launch – her energy was so high and her focus excited me…She reminded me of a young Madonna – with more exuberance and emphasis on the art rather than the marketing.”

Forgive me if I won’t be lining up to buy it.
