derivative of sum of singular values

can someone point me to the direction how to calculate the derivatives of a sum of singular values of a matrix? I am trying to minimize $$\min_A \parallel A \parallel_*+ \cdots $$ where $\parallel A \parallel_*=\sum_i \sigma_i$ is the sum of the singular values of $A$.

This is motivated by this paper.

Thank you very much!
