Lady Gaga claims that the music of the 1990s, including Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead, is the inspiration for her upcoming eighth album, Mayhem, which is highly anticipated.
On her show, Gaga Radio, the 38-year-old shared how she came to understand “heavier and intense” music.
“I realized that so many different kinds of music could find their way into these sorts of sounds when I heard Johnny Cash do [Nine Inch Nails’] ‘Hurt,'” the 38-year-old remarked, adding that “Closer’ is a huge inspiration for Mayhem.”
In a previous Elle interview, Lady also appreciated industrial music. Many of the noises had an industrial feel to them. The album has a transitional section with a strong ’90s musical influence. A kind of rejection of electro grunge.
