Here’s what Lady GaGa revealed via Twitter about her nearly completed new album Born This Way slated for 2011 :

“Endless melodies, hooks [and] poetry sledge-hammering my skull. It won’t be much longer, it’s almost perfect. But I (we) don’t want almost.”

Lady Gaga’s mentor/boss Akon tells Mtv:

“I’m really hard to excite, ’cause my big  was like, ‘Wow, how are you going to outdo yourself on this one? Do you realise how big you are? Do you know how big you really are? How are you going to outdo yourself? If I was going to compare it to her previous work, I would definitely say it’s a notch up. It’s like she’s slowly taking you on to this journey down this road. If she were to just drastically do it, she probably would have lost everybody from the first album, but once the sound was created and established, now we can use that as a tool to all the monsters and walk them down this graveyard. It’s crazy. It’s amazing”.
