Lady Gaga has cited Nine Inch Nails, The Cure and Radiohead as influences on her forthcoming seventh album Mayhem, which she also says is inspired by David Bowie and Prince.
The 38-year-old New York-born pop superstar has made no secret of her love for rock music, and in a recent broadcast on her SiriusXM channel Gaga Radio, the singer aired Nine Inch Nails' classic Closer, and cited it as a key inspiration on her forthcoming record.
"Mayhem is utter chaos!" the singer told Elle in January, revealing that influences on her new music span '90s alternative meets electro-grunge, mixed with industrial sounds, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines and French electronic dance.
