Lady Gaga has opened up on how she would like to influence her listeners.

The flamboyant singer has an army of fans across the world who readily digest every word she says and every note of her music.

Gaga graces the cover of September's Vogue magazine and she said in the accompanying interview that she doesn't make music for people to go "wow" to.

However, the 'Born This Way' singer instead wants her listeners to get romantic with their partner or feel extra brave as a result of hearing her tunes. She said:

"I don't really make records for people to listen to and go, 'Wow, she's a genius'."

Gaga added: "I'd really like you to order a drink, maybe kiss the person you came with that evening, or rediscover something about your past that makes you feel even more brave."

Lady Gaga meanwhile also commented on her first ever perfume, which is black in liquid form but clear when sprayed. She said:

"The fragrance is called Fame. It must be black. It must be enticing. You must want to lick and touch and feel it, but the look of it must terrify you."
