I have an extremely low (ok, null) interest in modern commercial pop music, but I remember clearly that when I first heard Lady Gaga she sounded really different. Actually I was convinced she was Italian or at least European knowing absolutely nothing about her personal background. It was her sound. Later on she changed.

I have wondered more than once, does anybody else feel the same about early Gaga's sound? Kind of Euro-trashy?

💯 European sound was def an inspiration for her. Both in sound and aesthetics. She even speaks French in this song:

Yes! I wonder if she acknowledges it.

Did you see The Defiant Ones?

There’s a part where Jimmy Iovine talks about his first meeting with her where she lists of all her inspirations. Can’t find the clip on yt though.
