The release of Lady Gaga's new album Born This Way is probably the most anticipated release of the year so far, a collection of power ballads, reheated club anthems and a few decent songs combined with a marketing strategy that would make any successful presidential campaign looks half hearted.
The four RedOne produced tracks are probably the ones that will attract the most critical acclaim, and the Moroccan producer has also worked with Mylene Farmer on her most recent album which has so far produced two number one singles in France. Her third single - Lonely Lisa - will be another of the RedOne tracks on the collection.
Of course, there were claims that Gaga's Born This Way was just a bit close to Farmer's song, Libertine.
However, I'd like to think the biggest artistic influence on Lady Gaga from France was Metal Urbain's song Lady Coca-Cola from 1977, a great slice of still-futuristic sounding post-punk art rock, that came out before most of the world was even embracing punk rock.
