Lady Gaga's manager has praised her new album as 'incredible' after hearing a number of tracks.

The album entitled 'Born This Way' is the follow-up to 2008's 'The Fame' and is set for release early next year.

Her manager Tony Carter believes that the wait will be more than worth while.

"We're very excited about it. We're starting to play a little for people and getting a feel for it, and she's done an incredible job, a really incredible job," Carter said during a recent interview at the Billboard Touring Conference.

He added: "Well, you know what, it's not where I go from a business standpoint, it's more about where she goes creatively because, truth be told, we built the business around her creative infrastructure and that business that was built is unique to Lady Gaga."

Meanwhile, the singer is currently on her Monster Ball world tour and will return to London next month to play the 02 Arena.
