Michael Bolton + Lady Gaga
The Track: “Murder My Heart”
The Setup: The big cheese attempts to make himself relevant to the under-60 set by collaborating with hip, young upstarts like Gaga and Ne-Yo on his new album.
The Potential: OK, this definitely has serious WTF written all over it, but come on, that’s where Lady Gaga lives. This unholy musical spawning has that “can’t not look at it” appeal at which the girl with a penchant for red lace face masks, graphic mass murder camp and Kermit couture excels. Plus, it’s called “Murder My Heart,” you guys!
The Payoff: Well, honestly, it’s actually kind of … cool. Gaga’s role is minimal, but her pretty keys and occasional swelling harmonies, a finger-popping beat and a serious tone-down of the lion’s roar-meets-soprano-sax vocals on Bolton’s part make for a surprisingly listenable slow jam. (Though we have to admit we’re a little disappointed it’s more good than so-bad-it’s-good.)
