    This feels like Gaga's true return to form. Like a new beginning. A new chapter. It's her version of Fame Reborn.

    This has always been her dancefloor. And she has proved it yet again.    … Expand

    The album is pure pop. An album full of bangers, creativity and Lady Gaga being the absolute most!

    This is Lady Gaga's at her new level musically and lyrcally. The album is her best since Born This Way & captures so many RADIO-FRIENDLY tracks yet not one of them is cheap or shallow. The production is really on point. The collaborations are very interesting showing how much she fits ANYONE in the industry because she is so versatile, but a special shout-out to SINE FROM ABOVE, wow, EltonThis is Lady Gaga's at her new level musically and lyrcally.

The collaborations are very interesting showing how much she fits ANYONE in the industry because she is so versatile, but a special shout-out to SINE FROM ABOVE, wow, Elton John a legend, follows his best friend, to a new journey on Electronic/Dance music, which he never really tried before in his tremendous career. 911 - my favorite on the album, a very CLASSIC Gaga meeting a new Gaga in 2020. The interludes CHROMATICA 123, very very outstanding works, more impressed that Gaga co-produced them. And the transitions are so amazing. There are major keys in most of the songs, probably more than any of her record before, but lyrically, it's very deep and thoughtful. The album shows high and low, all that a human can have, not just an artist, she captures all the emotions and interpret them in sounds. We feel love, we feel pain, we feel shame, we feel confident, all of that. A true story that has finally been told by one of the greatest artists ever existed in history of human creature. Ladies, and gentlemen, CHROMATICA by LADY GAGA.… Expand

    Chromatica I - Ótima, classica, suave, cara de musica para soundtrack de filmes de guerra como guerra nas estrelas. Ouvimos ela no teaser inicial de Stupid Love.

    Alice - Muito dançante, divertida, referencia ao filme alice das maravilhas, e provavelmente os trocentos memes que os fans faziam de serem "alices", em alguns momentos lembra o The Fame, principalmente na parte autotunezada, e no " Omama ", é uma das canções mais teatrais do álbum, não tem potencial pra single.

    Stupid Love - Ja havia enjoado dela, mas ouvindo junto com o Album, fica muito legal, é uma musica feita pra ser single, não muito profunda, chiclete, repetitiva e contagiante. Todo mundo conhece logo não temos muito oque falar.

    Rain On Me - Gaga e ariana conseguiram mesclar uma música extremamente comercial com uma letra com signifcado para ambas, ultimo refrão dessa música é tudo, a mistura dos highs da ariana com a voz Robocop Dominatrix da Gaga.

    Free Woman - Vibe disco dance, da pra imaginar a Whitney ou Dona Summer cantando exatamente a mesma música com a mesma letra. A versão do álbum trás uma versão melhorada(controvérsias) da demo lançada. Mensagem de libertação e emponderamento. Poderia ser singles se não ouvessem outras com mais potencial.

    Fun Tonight - A baladinha do álbum, muito melodica e envolvente, refrão ao msm tempo nostalgico e levemente datado, mas com certeza muito contagiante, musica que você canta bêbada na mágoa. E consegui enxergar nela algo que a Taylor faria, em outro tom, com uma produção diferente.

    Chromatica II - Mais uma interlude instrumental com vibe semelhante a primeira, se encaixando perfeitamente como uma intro da próxima faixa.

    911 - A estranhazuda do álbum, vocais distorcidos, linha melódica parecendo de uma trilha sonora de jogo de videogame. Não achei incrível de cara, nem tem potencial pra single, mas parece uma faixa que cresce com o tempo.

    Plastic Doll - Talvez pela sequencia de musicas agitadas e curtas, eu ainda não tenha conseguido apreciar, até agora pra mim parace a mais fraca do álbum, mas não que seja algo ruim, ela é legalzinha, mas não me empolgou.

    Sour Candy - Doce e Azeda, super contagiante, musica de fazer coreografia no Just Dance, tem muito potencial como single, principalmente no mercado Asiatico graças as Blackpinkas, onde ao que tudo indica, temos a era mais bem sucedida desde BTW. Unico erro da faixa: Duração, essa musica tinha tudo pra ser uma das melhores com 1 minuto a mais, mas ainda sim é muito gostosa. Sim, lembra Swish Swish, afinal, tem o mesmo sample, felizmente bem superior.

    Enigma - Apogeu Pop, novamente algo mais melodico e voltando com a pegada Retro de Free Woman, dessa vez, essa musica me lembrou muito a linha David Bowie, um dos melhores vocais do álbum, não sei ao certo se tem potencial pra single, Mas adoraria MUITO ver esse clipe. Replay - Vibe Dance teatral de novo sim porque ta ótimo, não achei incrível, porem é divertida, tambem tem a vibe videogame de "911". Chromatica III - mesmas características das II E III

    Sine From Above - A patinho feio antes do lançamento, todos falavam da parceria com Ari e como queriam com as BP, mas a menos aguardada COMEU TODOS OS C*s possíveis, esse album precisava de uma faixa de 4 minutos, e graças a Deus que ela ta aí. Os vocais casam muito bem, gaga botou a maricona pra cantar dance. E sem palavras pro Final amei/odiei. Não sei se tem potencial pra single, mas adoraria essa musica hitando, e as duas Lendas LGBTQs escalando nos charts.

    1000 Doves - Baladinha que me parece algo que esse teens mainstream cantariam hoje em dia, com um toque gagalistico. Babylon - Senhor! Que hino, uma vibe totalmente Madonna, o climax de vogue com o coral de like a prayer, letra inteligente, e musica viciante, certa do começo ao fim, talvez caso o remix com a versão da Haus seja lançado, seja o maior potencial pra single dps de Sour Candy.    … Expand

    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.
