Modern pop icon Lady Gaga has opened up about what she wants to achieve with her forthcoming new album, 'ARTPOP'. 

The record is due to be released on November 11 and she confessed that it was important for her to try and capture art culture in a pop music package to make both sides accessible and more equal:

"How would I define ARTPOP? Well I'd define it in lots of different ways. On the album I say, 'We could belong together ARTPOP', so in the simplest way I would say the dream of these two things belonging, art and pop together but with art in the front. We sort of like to say if we can belong together you and I, or me and my fans - if we can belong together in this room and make love then maybe our dream of these two things - art and pop- belonging together, maybe that could come true."

Gaga added: "So the intention of the album was to put art culture into pop music, a reverse of Warhol. Instead of putting pop onto the canvas, we wanted to put the art onto the soup can."
