Lady Gaga’s next studio material doesn’t drop until early 2011, but hype surrounding the project keeps building up. New reports suggest that it may also include a collab with Sir Elton John.

Though to some this may sound like an odd pairing, fans must know that they first worked together for an appearance at the 2010 Grammys, in February this year.

They have remained close friends and, EW’s MusicMix has learned, chances are high they may take their relationship into the professional realm as well with a new collaboration.

“Will Elton John make an appearance on Lady Gaga‘s forthcoming album Born This Way? It seems very possible,” EW writes.

Someone from the magazine recently met with the legendary singer to talk about his upcoming album “The Union” (with Leon Russell) and he simply couldn’t stop talking about Gaga.

“I love her, and I love her ability to write. I love the songs she writes,” Elton John says. He’s also the first to put the word out there: a collaboration is a possibility right now.

As is the case with the reported collab between Christina Aguilera and DJ David Guetta, of which we informed you yesterday, time and a busy schedule are the main obstacles.

“I’d love to in the future. I’d love to do that. There’s a chance I might do one track with her [for Born This Way], but it’s just, she’s so busy, and I’m so busy, we can never get together!” the singer says.

On the bright side, even if the collaboration doesn’t come to happen, fans should be happy to learn that Elton John had already heard Gaga’s album – and it’s absolutely awesome.

Gaga herself once promised this would be a material dedicated to the gays: “Born This Way” will undoubtedly write music history, John says.

“I’ve already heard [Gaga’s new album], so I think it’s more or less done. Her record – it’s [expletive]-ing amazing. ‘Born This Way,’ which is the title song, will completely get rid of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’,” Sir Elton John says.

“This is the new ‘I Will Survive.’ That was the gay anthem. This is the new gay anthem. Actually, it’s not a gay anthem – it can apply to anybody,” the singer adds.
