Lady GaGa's new album "like a musical"

Lady GaGa's second studio album Born This Way has been compared to a musical by one of its producers.

Fernando Garibay, who has worked closely with GaGa on the album, has described his role as the "musical director", helping "to push [GaGa's] vision".

"Every song tells almost like a musical. It just kind of keeps going forward. We did this song that possibly might be the third single - it's called 'Marry the Night'," Garibay told Perez Hilton.

"It's probably one of my favourite songs on the album. It tells about being yourself and individuality and never forgetting who you are. What's interesting is that the great thing about dance songs is, for me, most of the time they start off as ballads and that's the approach I've been trying to keep going."

The producer also explained that he wrote songs with the 'Judas' performer which would suit "a dance environment", yet continue to remain "genuine" to who Lady GaGa is and what she is about.

"It's a collective of some cool people all trying to facilitate her and to explore her vision, her statement," he said. "I'm excited for albums to be albums again, and this is leading in that direction."

Lady GaGa is due to premiere the video for her latest single 'Judas' later this evening and has come to the promo's defence, stating that the content is metaphorical and shouldn't be seen as "a biblical lesson".
