The eccentric singer’s next single is Born This Way, from her much-anticipated new album of the same name. Laurieann Gibson, who is working on the video with Gaga, has promised fans won’t be disappointed when they see the finished product. Although she refused to give away any details about the theme for the promo, Laurieann says it will contain explosive dance routines and stunning vocals.

“I can’t tell you, but I will tell you it is a life-changing experience,” she told MTV’s The Seven. “You can expect the highest level of execution in vocal music art and dance… but you will be shocked.”

It has been reported the video will have a similar theme to Gaga’s performance at the Grammy Awards last week – where she arrived on the red carpet inside a giant egg-shaped vessel, which was carried by her entourage. She then ‘hatched’ on stage, before launching into Born This Way.

Laurieann admits it took her a while to appreciate Gaga’s next single, but she has fully embraced it now and has applauded her egg stunt. The choreographer is in awe of the singer’s ability to constantly shock, calling her a “genius”.

“Well, actually it’s a vessel,” Laurieann explained. “When Gaga played me the record, it took me quite some time to feel the direction and the inspiration, and when she played it for me two weeks later, I was like, ‘I think I got it.’ I said, ‘We have to birth a new race, a race that cannot hate.’ And, of course, as genius as she is, she runs with it.

“We made sure the Lady was not suffocating with an oxygen tank in there while incubating, checking her new DNA, which was producing this new race.

“When you try to break this performance down, it minimizes the message. It’s about the vocal performance while dancing the amazing choreography. It feels like a standalone dance piece, a standalone theatrical moment.”
