Lady Gaga revealed more details about her hotly anticipated new album Born This Way when she called in to On-Air With Ryan Seacrest earlier today.

According to Gaga, the next single from the record is called "Judas" and will come out a few weeks before the album is released on May 23rd. The song is co-produced by her regular collaborator RedOne. Gaga told Seacrest that she co-produced all of the tracks on Born This Way, and wrote all of the music herself.

Gaga promises that the new album will be very eclectic in style. "I explore lots of different genres in tandem with dance music and electronic music  and industrial music," she said. She later mentioned that one track, "Hair," is a club track with a "Bruce Springsteen vibe" that will feature Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band on saxophone.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
