Lady Gaga Is currently preparing to record her first studio album since her debut album 'The Fame,' which propelled her like a rocket onto the pop scene. Akon, the rapper who signed Gaga to his record label two years ago says the new album is going to be quite a respectable batch of jams.

According to Vibe Gaga has been recording on the road in her on tour bus studio producing tracks which Akon has been blown away with every night. He tells Vibe that the songs she’s been producing for the new album are "bigger and better" than anything to date.

Say what you will about Lady Gaga, but that girl knows music. She's been studying piano since she was four, wrote a piano ballad when she was thirteen. She was even granted early admissions to New York's Tisch School of the Arts. Not to mention managing to crank out admittedly catchy, original tunes back to back. For this reason she has become the only real current pop act I've been interested in. No say yet to when the new record will be released. But Akon stands strong behind his label signed act saying that it will truly be a great new album.
