    It's a good mix of Country and Pop music and the ballads are powerful and emotive, this album doesn't have the musical quality of her first, second and third album, but it surpasses ArtPop.

    The album is flawless. Gaga evolves again and returns riper than ever. Her last album with Tony Bennett, Cheek To Cheek has been obviously an influence on it.

    Fully recommended.

    An Incredibly satisfying twist from Gaga that left me absolutely speechless.
    My only objection Is A-YO which is a little weak. but other than that PI,MR,TIC,JW all incredible songs.

    This album, Joanne, is not a 'comeback' album. OKAY. JOANNE is an album that speaks about life and all its highs and lows. An album that cuts deep when listening to it because it speaks the truth. It is her best album to date and one of the best albums released this year!

    Joanne is the album the world needed, but maybe nobody asked for it. Many expected an album full of danceable hymns, dark themes, perhaps everyone wanted to hear what Gaga could offer according to the musical style of this year, but it was not. Gaga gave us something much better. This time he did not give us a concept album, each song has its style and history, there are no filler songs.Joanne is the album the world needed, but maybe nobody asked for it.

Listening to it is very gratifying, it combines the classic with the modern. Joanne's jewels are undoubtedly Come to Mama, Angel Down, Grigio Girls and Hey Girl.

    Um álbum coeso, sem faixa descartável, e que mostra a maturidade e a versatilidade de Lady Gaga. As faixas mais importantes para a compreensão da sonoridade do Joanne são A-YO, Sinner's Prayer e Angel Down.

    Whether a casual listener or a “Little Monster,” I would advise the listener to approach “Joanne” as Stefani Germanotta’s first album, rather than Lady Gaga’s fifth.

From beginning to end, the listener will embark on a cohesive, musical journey which is bound together by an authenticity that seems nearly impossible for a pop artist to achieve in this day and age. For Gaga’s longtime fans who might encounter difficulty embracing her newest shift in musical direction, the nearly perfect pop track “Dancin’ In Circles” is highly recommended. Additional highlights of the album include fantastically spunky “John Wayne,” heartbreaking ballad "Million Reasons," and the devastating social commentary “Angel Down.” The highly polarizing "Perfect Illusion" is a raw, tortured track, while “Just Another Day” is a light-hearted, lyrically simplistic track with obvious Beatles' influences, which serves as an impeccable closure to the emotional rollercoaster that is "Joanne."… Expand

    Joanne es sin duda el mejor álbum de Lady Gaga desde el experimental Born This Way.
    Joanne nos muestra una Lady Gaga mucho más madura que en sus trabajos anteriores, con una intensidad vocal increíble y una mezcla estupenda de sonidos. Cada canción tiene un toque especial, distinto pero también sobresale que Lady Gaga aún esta viva, para crear su arte y música muy personal.

    Lady Gaga sempre nos surpreende. Com Joanne não foi diferente. Com toda certeza foi um álbum coeso, assim como BTW e TFM, mesmo apostando em vários estilos (rock, indie, jazz, country), pode não ter tantos atrativos quanto BTW e não ser um bom pop 'dark' mainstream de TFM, mas tem seus pontos positivos.

Um deles é Diamond Heart, uma canção que surpreende com uma pegada rock anos 90 e com um refrão bem elaborado; outro ponto a ser destacado é Joanne, uma balada extremamente simples e por isso tocante. Come to Mama, parecida com um clássico, mostra a forte influência jazz de C2C. Dancin' in Circles, Perfect Illusion e John Wayne podem nos lembrar um pouco da Gaga, super estrela do pop de 2010, mas hoje mais madura e talvez menos interessante ao mainstream. Sinner's Prayer e A-YO com influências country, apesar de ambas serem diferentes, são bem trabalhadas e mostram com certeza que Gaga é boa em arriscar. Grigio Girls, outra canção muita boa, com uma letra emocionante, mostram que a simplicidade pode ser algo bom. Enfim, Joanne foi uma experiência agradável, diferente e madura. Claro que aquela Gaga com refrões poderosos e maravilhosos deixa saudade, mas é importante mudar e arriscar para não cansar (como em ARTPOP, um álbum 'poluído', bagunçado, mas muito mal incompreendido e com várias pérolas). Com certeza, ouvindo a discografia de Gaga, percebemos que Joanne seria um ótimo sucessor natural de BTW, pois é bem semelhante e diferente deste ao mesmo tempo. Talvez se ARTPOP fosse lançado hoje, faria mais buzz, pois o pop passa por uma fase difícil e com certeza faria diferença, mas em 2013, não foi compreendido e então foi deixado de lado. Joanne é muito bom e coeso, bem trabalhado e produzido, mas com certeza não tem aquele brilho e aquela Gaga é algo muito grande, muito excêntrico, muito inesquecível para ser tão bruscamente ser negada agora com Joanne e por isso pode deixar um vazio.… Expand

    This is absolutely one of Lady Gaga's best albums, if not THE best one. The only track that is very inappropriate for the album is "Dancin' In Circles", a typical dance song that can remind to the first songs by Shakira. A really bad track.

By the way, in the other tracks, we can hear a lot of different influences from different genres. The crown jewel of this album is Sinner's Prayer, a country-ish song produced by Gaga herself, Mark Ronson, Bloodpop and Kevin Parker. Now, let's talk about the other song; "Diamond Heart" is a typical Gaga's pop song, nothing more. It is good, but there are better tracks. Not one of my favorites. "A-YO", the second promotional single, is a pop-rock that can remind to a new better version of the hit single "Shake It Off", released in 2014 by Taylor Swift. Not a good choice for a promotional single. The third song in the tracklist is the title track: "Joanne". A beautiful ballad dedicated to her aunt and one of the best songs of this album. Great lyrics and great instrumental. "John Wayne" is the fourth track of this album. It is, kinda, radio-friendly and I wouldn't be surprised if this song would become the second official single. Another crown jewel of this album. For the fifth song of this album, "Dancin' In Circles", I've already reported my opinion. After this, we have the first single, "Perfect Illusion". Maybe the illusion was the concept given by this first single in September? It wasn't a good choice to release that song as the first single, since it is very different from the other tracks of this album. A track out of place. "Million Reasons", another ballad, is one of Gaga's best produced songs from this album. I have a "Million Reasons" to love this track! Incredible.
    About "Sinner's Prayer", I've already told my opinion. Outstanding. "Come To Mama" is a great song, not one of the best ones, but still good. In my opinion, this song would fit better as a bonus track on a deluxe version. "Hey Girl", a dance song with the incredible voice of Florence Welch, the singer of the band "Florence + The Machine". Incredible song. Loved it. Now let's talk about the last track of the standard edition: the amazing anthem "Angel Down". One of the best Gaga's songs. Well produced and an amazing work behind the lyrics. It may even make you shed, at least, one or two tears by the end of the track. About the deluxe edition, we have two other songs and an Angel Down work tape. "Grigio Girls" is a great song, there's nothing else to say. "Just Another Day" is THE track of this album! It may even seem a Beatles' song from the White Album. Loved it! So amazing.

    9/10, just because of songs like Dancin' In Circles and Perfect Illusion.    … Expand

    I have to admit, I was skeptical of this album after hearing her first single "Perfect Illusion." The single was too shrill, repetitive, and overall unpleasant. It lacked that "gaga" hook or melody. It just wasn't my cup of tea. However, after hearing this album, that song was the weakest.

This album showcases Gaga's diversity in genres of music, and truly highlights her musical artistry. Unlike her past albums, this one is more raw and honest. In certain songs like "Ayo," "John Wayne," and "Dancin' In Circles" all have an uptempo and in pounding chorus that is irresistible to not dance. Furthermore, her ballads "Joanne," "Million Reasons," and "Angel Down" are all extremely powerful. They show her broken down, honest, and raw talent, which really shines through. Possibly her most interesting collaboration that she has done, in the song "Hey Girl" makes for a soulful and beautiful girl anthem that will have everyone grooving too. Overall, this album is truly a "rebranding" of the classic Gaga, and a more refined and mature collection of songs that express her beautiful artistry!… Expand

It's like anything in music industry right now. Gaga's vocals are strong and raw and her lyrics will bring tears of both joy and sadness. May she reign forever! Viva Gaga! Viva Joanne!… Expand

    Joanne marks a re-invention of one of the biggest pop star ever: Lady Gaga. She gave us a record full of inspirational lyrics with a sick beat. It's a new phase of her, full of feelings and personal memories converted into music.

    Joanne is synonymous with authenticity, the authenticity of each letter is reflected in the very melancholy sounds that transports you to a very emotional and personal aura.
    A very good candidate for "Album of the Year".

    Su trabajo con Ronson, BloodPop, entre otros, convierte éste álbum más variado que sus anteriores trabajos, así mismo, un álbum mucho más maduro con respecto a líricas y sonido.

    "Joanne" is her best album since "The Fame Monster". Lady Gaga did a powerful album, made for all the people who like all the gender, have rock, country, dance, ballad, and a lot pop music, "Joanne" deserves the best, because Gaga is the best YAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!

    Lady Gaga is an artist who can do, literally, anything. She's been into synth-pop-dance music, jazz, rock, nice ballads and I could continue with the list. Even if she showed us she can do whatever she wants and we've heard her sing anything possible, I feel Joanne as something I've never heard before from her. Exceptional album, exceptional music.

    its amazing, shes so natural, so pure. i just love her.Somehow, she just keeps getting better. Bloodpop does a wonderful job of making some of the more retro-sounding songs sounds modern, and Gaga's vocals are more powerful than ever. This album is going to be on repeat for quite awhile.

    This album is a revelation of Gaga shows her vocal talent and that is not just a pop artist, Gaga callus the mouths of their hater, and devotes himself with a legend and an artist that breaks all barriers.

    "Joanne" is perhaps the best album of Lady Gaga since Born This Way in 2011. Takes us on a journey from the classic American adrenaline in "Diamond heart" to the nostalgia of the physical loss of a loved one in "Joanne", or a manifesto and social criticism with songs like the beautiful and darkness "Angel down".

    Joanne is clearly Gaga's most personal album, popping aside the synthetic personas for something more honest and, well, human. Mother Monster may be retired for now, but Lady Gaga's sheer musical brilliance still shines through,with its "flaws and all"—was a correct musical step for Gaga, which he believed would make "fans and observers once again rethink what they know about the daring diva

    Amazing album, amazing lyrics and melodies. The only problem is that she don't know how to pick singles, she picked Perfect Illusion, instead of Hey Girl or Dancin' in Circles. She did it like she did in 2013 with Applause as single.

    Unfortunately, therein lies the biggest problem with Joanne: for every time that Gaga seemingly breaks free of her shackles and embraces something more “real,” she quickly scuttles back into her comfort zone and hides behind glistening production. This probably isn’t quite the sound of the real Stefani Germanotta, but if you squint hard enough there’s a semblance of a real person in amongst the pop haze.

    Joanne is certainly not the all-conquering opus it was intended to be and will prove divisive, but it remains a daring and exciting record, delivered from one of modern pop’s most unique and singular voices.
