Lady Gaga’s New Album In 2016 Will Be More Than About Pain; Explores Other Things

Lady Gaga is planning to release a new album, which would be quite different from her angst-filled "Artpop" released in 2013.

In an interview with James Franco for V Magazine, Lady Gaga said that she found inspiration from the "American Horror Story: Hotel" for her new album.

"I'm using my listening from acting in my music more, which is crucial because it's music," she said.

"Who knew I could listen even more? It's amazing to even talk about. There's a tremendous freedom and a recklessness, but there's also a sophistication in the show."

Lady Gaga added, "There's a lot of liberation, but it's a very chic liberation. Here's what I will say: when I wasn't working on the show I was truly miserable because I had no safe house to get out any of my vices. Now I have a safe house for my vices so when I'm making music I just have a lot more clarity."

Taylor Kinney's fiancee also said that she's been writing a lot for the past year but Lady Gaga described her music for the new album as a little less reckless.

"So now I'm thinking more about what it is I want to say and what I want to leave on Earth. It's less an expression of all my pain. There will be some of my pain on the record for sure, but it will be more than that," she sadded.

"My last album was riddled with a ton of pain," she said, referring to "Artpop." "That whole record. It's almost like you couldn't even get to what it is. Now, the show gives me an outlet to put things somewhere, so when I get to the piano I'm in a deeper place already. I have something completely other to explore."

During the presser for the Golden Globes, where she won best actress for "American Horror Story: Hotel," Lady Gaga hinted that she might assume a different look for the new album.

"Will it reflect my outer appearance?" she said. "That's a difficult thing to say as I don't know that you yet know what I will look like for my next album, as I'm still creating those things. It's something that's always a gradual change with me."
