Foo Fighters to Play Shows in Their Fans? Garages

The Foo Fighters are one of the world’s biggest rock acts, but for hardcore music fans, it is always a little disappointing when a band gets too big to play the more intimate venues that offer audiences the experience of seeing their favorite band up close and person. And then the band decides to rectify this [...]

Over the weekend, Lady Gaga tweeted that her May release, Born This Way, was nearly complete. "In Nebraska, finishing up record today," she wrote. "I'm so proud of the album: I keep dancing+drinking: metal/techno rock journey of a woman on the run."

Now, with eight weeks left until it officially drops, Gaga's creative director, Laurieann Gibson, revealed that this album will have the Little Monsters going, well, gaga.

"This new album is spectacular," Gibson told MTV News. "And I got to tell you, you got to really stand by and take notice, 'cause the album is excellent. It's of such excellence that I think that everyone's going to be really impressed and affected."

The first single from the album, the title track, has sat at the top of the charts for weeks, and as Gaga readies the release of a second single, the RedOne-produced "Judas," Gibson said it's just the beginning.

"The records are so visual and large and the concept of birthing has so many levels to it and the dance is never limited, that you're just gonna keep seeing an extension of this story," she explained. "And hopefully [we] get humanity to a place where we can effect change."

With the album basically done, plans for the tour are under way. "We did a theater in an arena and it worked [for the Monster Ball Tour]. ... How do we take it to the next level?" Gibson teased of Gaga's next outing.

On Tuesday, Jennifer Hudson drops her new album, I Remember Me, and it seems the artists she worked with on the record also remembered her. For the release, she hooked up with Alicia Keys and R. Kelly, who seemed to channel the singer perfectly — almost too perfectly.

"R. Kelly was writing for me at the time, and I didn't even know it, and they just sent me this song," she recalled to MTV News about the track "Where You At." "You don't want to get your hopes up too high of being able to work with someone like R. Kelly, and when they sent the song, they told me, 'Kelly put up a shrine of pictures of you to channel you, and he created this song.' "

Whatever he was doing seemed to really work, as Hudson explained: "It was kind of creepy to me, because when I heard the song, I was like, 'Oh my god! ... He's, like, giving me me! This is what I would do! This is something I would say.' And I hadn't even met him until after ... and I'm like, 'This is bizarre.' "

Crediting Kelly and Keys, Hudson notes that "they gave me my sound." And it seems whatever otherworldly bond she had with Kelly, she had a more-grounded one with Keys, with whom she worked on the songs "Angel," "Everybody Needs Love" and "Don't Look Down."

"I must say that working with Alicia was my favorite sessions in the recording studio ever, and I think it was partly because ... it was a learning experience," she said about Keys, who gave birth days after their sessions. "She's just amazing to work with. We had such a good time together. ... It was an amazing, fun experience."
