    Lady Gaga trouxe um album com um conceito legal e com a criação do universo 'Chromatica', com bastante EDM e música pop.

    Pontos Positivos: a colaboração com Ariana Grande em "Rain On Me" e com Elton John em "Sine From Above", o pop em sua melhor forma em "Enigma", "Replay" e "Babylon".

    I love Lady Gaga. (Alice, Plastic Doll, Free Woman, 1000 Doves, Sine From Above, 911 were all bops) I think Plastic doll is the song I've listened to most out of all her albums. I am an avid fan. I've been there since "Just Dance" debuted on the radio. Stupid Love was an okay song, I listen to it from time to time. I really didn't like the songs that made it on the radio.

I disliked Sour Candy and Rain on me, which the latter seems to be the most played on the radio for some reason. I was disappointed because I thought the collabs could've made better songs. I was hoping for more dance pop hits. But I guess Gaga was doing something experimental. Can't wait until the next album!… Expand

    Gaga returns to her roots on Chromatica. A total 180 from her days of Joanne, Chromatica gives us timeless pop anthems. Staying true to herself, Gaga gives a lot of insight into her personal life, as well as carries themes of feminism. A truly cohesive project, Chromatica never repeats itself as every track gives a familiar, yet new flavor. While it doesn't quite outdo projects like BornGaga returns to her roots on Chromatica.

    Grandioso e igênuo. Potente e vulnerável. Altruísta e doloroso. Difícil julgar os sentimentos de alguém, esses são mais do que o tema central aqui. Me perco um pouco na organização das faixas, não entendo bem o storytelling, mas, a mensagem é clara e evidente. 8.9 - ganha pontos pela execução e conceito - produção de ponta!

    Gaga went back to her roots and even outdid herself in a good way. A true masterpiece.

    Miss Gaga dives fully into the world of house and dance music. Reminiscent of some of the production found in Artpop she takes it to the next level in this album and it, ultimately, falls short.

Reminiscent of some of the production found in Artpop she takes it to the next level in this album and it, ultimately, falls short. Though I must say, I don’t necessarily blame her; I blame the fandom that she has gathered over the years. Her fandom seems to not be supportive of some of her more creative and artistic efforts, with some even ignoring the existence of her collaborative jazz albums. My personal favorite of hers, Joanne, is her most artistic and raw project to date yet it was dragged and labeled as a commercial “flop” specifically because her fans do not seem to support her unless she releases something that can be played at a club. Once again, an example of how her followers have made her put out something that, in my opinion, felt less inspired than other project in exchange for something that her fans would like more.

    Chromatica proves that Lady Gaga was not willing to take another risk right after the reception her fans had to Joanne and I do respect that. Taking creative risks can be scary. I am, however, excited for what the future holds for Gaga because even though Chromatica was simply not for me I still believe she is a brilliant star.    … Expand

    Such a horrible album be real, it should be called Chernobyl instead of Chromatica, it would fit so much better, plus that Aricaca feature, really embarrassing

    Very few albums bridge electronic dance music with complex emotional and spiritual arcs. Chromatica perfectly captures the essence of Lady Gaga’s personal story, while giving us some great music to sweat the pain out with. Two and a half years after the release I still listen to the album every single day.

    Chromatica knows what it’s doing. It is a journey through trauma, and an experience of healing in itself. Hearing the many nuances of storytelling within the production of this album - the way Replay sounds like musical trauma itself - this album is a perfect 10.

    Lady Gaga logra crear su propio mundo fantástico y colorido en su sexto trabajo discográfico. Un álbum conceptual que en palabras de la propia Gaga la sanó y sirvió como terapia para afrontar algunos traumas personales y problemas de salud mental.

    "Chromatica" fue concebido como un álbum digno de ser escuchado de principio a fin. Una obra fuertemente influenciada por el haus, disco y    Lady Gaga logra crear su propio mundo fantástico y colorido en su sexto trabajo discográfico. Un álbum conceptual que en palabras de la propia Gaga la sanó y sirvió como terapia para afrontar algunos traumas personales y problemas de salud mental.

    "Chromatica" fue concebido como un álbum digno de ser escuchado de principio a fin. Una obra fuertemente influenciada por el haus, disco y EDM de los años 90's que se encuentra dividida en tres actos perfectamente diferenciados, cada uno precedido por un interludio que brinda una atmósfera de drama teatral y éxtasis colosal.

    Definitivamente la mezcla de sonidos es el gran acierto de este álbum, la transición entre canciones sucede de una forma muy cohesiva y armónica, "Chromatica II" a "911", y los inesperados cambios de ritmos resultan algo extraños al principio pero logran funcionar bastante bien, "Sine From Above" por mencionar un ejemplo. Por otro lado, la interpretación que Gaga hace de cada una de las canciones es apoteósica, claramente se nota una evolución en el control de su voz que se ve reflejada en el juego de tonos y armonías musicales que emplea, "Enigma" y "1000 Doves".

    En fin, Chromatica es un himno de fiesta, un sueño bailable, una fantasía electrónica-pop que nos recuerda y hace homenaje a la Gaga de sus inicios con trabajos como "The Fame" y "Born This Way".

    2. 911

    Un disco que con valentía pretende ser un festejo del dance más bailable del que la mother monster nos ha nutrido esta última década. Con letras personales que se funden con ese sonido retro que te invita a darlo todo en la pista de baile.

    The nostalgia in the production — a blend of crisp digital synth textures and ringing grooves drawn directly from '90s house music — further bolsters the shadowed euphoria of a song like "Sour Candy," in which Gaga is joined by the K-pop girl group Blackpink; "Sine from Above," featuring Elton John, gets a similar friction from the interplay between their voices.

    Chromatica’s frank grappling with the vagaries of Gaga’s brain – and the way fame exacerbates them – ends up feeling much more real than touring dive bars with a guitar and a Stetson ever did.
