We've been hearing a lot lately about Lady Gaga's upcoming album with Tony Bennett, called "Cheek to Cheek". Gaga and Tony were in New York Monday night filming a "live" concert set to air October 24th 2014 to promote the album.

At midnight (New York time) they released the first single from the album, the Cole Porter classic "Anything Goes".

Gaga claims to have been singing jazz since 13 years of age (is there anything she hasn't "done"? No, really, is there?) and claims recording jazz is easier than recording pop.

“You know, it’s funny, but jazz comes a little more comfortable for me than pop music, than R&B music,” Gaga said in an interview Monday. “I’ve sang jazz since I was 13 years old, which is kind of like my little secret that Tony found out. So this is almost easier for me than anything else.”

Here's a link to the song on Soundcloud:

Oh, P.S.
Who thinks this will be the new Lady Gaga "derp" face?
