Lady Gaga And Tony Bennett Are Preparing For Duet Album; Pop Superstar Reveals Album Cover

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are reportedly working on a new jazz duet album and the pop star has revealed the album's cover in confirmation.

The "Paparazzi" singer took to her official Twitter account to share the photo of the album cover, with the caption: "Pre-order begins 8/19 US/Can/Mex, 8/20 rest of world for 'CHEEK TO CHEEK' My Jazz album with @itstonybennett."

The photo, which shows Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in what looks to be a directed shot was, in fact, taken candidly. Gaga described how the photo was taken, saying: "We were just standing there talking, laughing, singing. Then someone very special snapped a memory. The lighting like a painting."

Along with the album cover, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have also released the song "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," which, according to Rolling Stone magazine, is a 1928 original by Dorothy Fields (lyrics) and Jimmy McHugh (music).

Apart from the Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett album, an article on Billboard magazine also confirmed that they will go on tour.

"We'll be touring together for quite a while. She's kind of exhausted from playing for 45,000 people a night. She said 'Let's just play for three to six weeks in Las Vegas.' She has the idea of just performing at Radio City for possibly two weeks with her. It's amazing how she's planning out how we should perform together, and it won't be those 45,000-seat pleaces because I work in acoustic halls all the time, or outdoor theaters sometimes," the jazz crooner Bennett said.

While tour dates have not been announced, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett will debut their album, "Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek To Cheek LIVE!" on October 24 on PBS.

According to reports, "Cheek to Cheek" may already have a follow-up. "If ('Cheek To Cheek') goes well, we could do a follow-up with Cole Porter, 'Red, Hot & Blue,'" said Bennett.

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett first collaborated when the latter invited Gaga to record a version of "The Lady Is A Tramp" for his album "Tony Bennett Duets II."
