Elton John is apparently on the list of collaborators for Lady GaGa's highly-anticipated new album. In a chat with Zane Lowe on the radio host's "Beats 1" show Tuesday, January 19, the British musician revealed that he would be having a writing session with the 29-year-old songstress on Wednesday.

"I'm writing with GaGa tomorrow, she's doing a new record," he told Lowe. John continued that he had heard some of GaGa's new songs and shared his opinion on them. "I've heard two songs which are killer, they're just great songs," he teased. "It's like back to the early stuff of hers: 'You and I' and the Bruce Springsteen 'Bad Romance'."

In the interview, John admitted that he wasn't a fan of GaGa's 2013 album, "ARTPOP". "ARTPOP was not a great idea. It was not a good album and I think she would admit that," he said. "Then in the midst of that, she did three things which were kind of amazing. She did the whole tour and album with Tony Bennett, which did amazingly well. She sang the Julie Andrews tribute at the Oscars, which everybody loved. And she was on 'American Horror Story'."

"I think she's a great writer. To me, she is Stefani Germanotta and I love her and I care about her - she's Godmother to my two children. And I want her to go and make a kind of simple, fabulous, great song record. Maybe like 'Tapestry', but her version. I've heard two of the songs and they're not complex... They're not complex arrangements, but they are great songs. It's all about the song," he added.

GaGa's new album, which her fans have been referring to as "LG5", would be her first since 2014's "Cheek to Cheek" with Bennett and her first solo effort since "ARTPOP". After the 2016 Golden Globes earlier this month, she promised that the project would arrive this year. "I am putting out an album this year. I won't tell you when!" she told reporters at that time.
