3. Lady Gaga & RedOne
Just Dance. Poker Face. LoveGame. Bad Romance. Alejandro. Monster. Judas. Hair. Scheisse. They all rank incredibly high amongst the best regarded songs of Gaga's admittedly short but very promising career and helped her meteoric rise over the course of a few years to becoming a superstar - and all of them are produced by Moroccan producer RedOne. RedOne has plenty of signature flourishes to his work - the stomping dance-pop beat, the catchy-as-cholera work on the choruses - and nowhere it is more present than in his work with Ms Germanotta. The fun groove of Just Dance, the killer breakdown of Judas, the bonkers-vibe of Schiesse, the pulsing beats of Poker Face and Bad Romance and the joyous feeling of Hair. While Gaga's using more and more producers these days, particularly given that new album
ARTPOP is rumoured to be an EDM-fest, we can't help but hope that she always has hope and a place for the original dream team that gave the world some proper new pop classics.
