Lady Gaga is back with a new single, ‘Perfect Illusion’ (below), and gosh did it take a lot of people to make.
Posting a bunch of credits on Instagram, Mark Ronson has listed Lady Gaga on vocals (obvs); Kevin Parker on guitars, synths and drums; Josh Homme on guitars; Bloodpop on rhythm synthesis; and himself on guitars and synths. That’s a lot of guitars.
Ronson, Parker and Bloodpop also took on production duties, alongside Gaga herself.
And it sounds as though it’s not the only track on her new album, expected to land later this year, to have an all-star cast: speaking on Nick Grimshaw’s BBC Radio 1 show, Gaga revealed that she also had help on the upcoming release from Father John Misty, Beck and Florence Welch. Phew.
