Exclusive: Eva Simons flattered by GaGa comparisons

Eva Simons has admitted that she considers it a "compliment" to be likened to Lady GaGa.

When Simons's track 'Silly Boy' leaked onto the internet over the summer, many pop fans guessed it was a demo by GaGa and Rihanna.

"I thought, 'That's too bad because it's my song and I'm not getting any credit for it'," she told DS. "I was like, 'These are huge artists, so how am I going to convince people that it's me singing?'"

However, now that the leak has secured her a record deal and a full UK release for 'Silly Boy', Simons is happier with the comparisons.

"I think it's a compliment to be compared to [Lady GaGa] because she's very good at what she does and she's a writer, too. Maybe we can work together one day? I'd love that," she said.

"I don't really look like her, but I think people compare us because we're both on the edge and we both like to be a bit freaky. We're both a bit controversial and make people say, 'What is she doing?'"

'Silly Boy' is available to download now.
