Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Have A New Album Coming Out In The Spring

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga have teamed up once again for a brand new duets album together.

The news was revealed at the same time as the 94-year-old singer’s Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis was also announced through AARP.

Tony and Gaga were apparently recording the new songs just as signs of the illness were presenting themselves in 2018.

The duo started to record the album at New York’s Electric Lady Studios and she acted as an “encouraging partner.”

The writer of the profile described documentary footage of recording sessions from the album, and noted that Tony appeared “considerably more muted” in the studio.

“‘You sound so good, Tony,’ she tells him at one point. ‘Thanks,’ is his one-word response,” the article reads. “The pain and sadness in Gaga’s face is clear at such moments — but never more so than in an extraordinarily moving sequence in which Tony (a man she calls ‘an incredible mentor, and friend, and father figure’) sings a solo passage of a love song. Gaga looks on, from behind her mic, her smile breaking into a quiver, her eyes brimming, before she puts her hands over her face and sobs.”

Gaga and Tony teamed on 2014′s Cheek to Cheek, which earned them a Grammy for Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
