"I am so excited to announce that a record I've been working on has now become a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar for HIS ALBUM (sic). Kendrick Lamar and I are dropping the record September 6. It's called 'Partynauseous,'" she wrote on her Twitter.
Gaga explained her part of the song is based on an incident earlier this year, when she was banned from performing in Jakarta, Indonesia, on her "Born This Way Ball" tour after hardline extremists in the Muslim country complained her sexy clothes and dance routines would corrupt young people. "I wrote 'PARTYNAUSEOUS' about Jakarta, and my relationship with that country (sic). Wishing I could 'get high with the enemy' and make peace (sic). Once @kendricklamar + I started talking about life + his forward thinking views about love + hip hop, the song became something more (sic)," she added.

"We are defined by the fact that we can't be defined by anybody. There are electro-pop sounds and songs that are obviously classic rock. Then there are the orchestral things. [The album would sound like] three different bands if it wasn't for my voice," frontman Matt Bellamy said.
The band did a lot of work on the album with David Campbell - who has previously arranged and conducted music for Metallica and Beck - and were thrilled with his overdubs. "He understood that film-music thing we were looking for. And he found a lot of amazing people," Matt told Rolling Stone.
Some tracks on the album were inspired by a show Matt watched on economics, when he saw experts discussing the second law of thermodynamics.

"When I get back to the States I'm going to be helping out on Shock Value 3 with Timbaland and the Justin Timberlake project. It's still in the early stages, but they have a lot of tracks. While I've been over here in the UK they've been working, so by the time I get back they'll have a whole load of ideas and I'm going to have to catch up!" Jim said.
The record will be Justin's first since 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds, which yielded hits including "SexyBack" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around." Jim said Justin is not trying to top his previous work, but rather compete with today's pop music. "There are certain artists who can get inside with great charisma and energy and make great music every time. So it's not really about topping the last record, it's more about topping music that comes on the radio. Everything is so similar that it's about topping that and doing something different, and that's what they are going for," Jim added.

Rihanna and Chris have made peace since 2009's altercation, and while she understands people have "every right to be concerned" about the pair working together, the brunette beauty insists her fans are keen for them to collaborate again. "Look, I understand that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn't see it that way because I'm in a different place. Music is music and my fans have been asking me to record with him. I just felt like it was time. It was time."
