    In Joanne, Gaga embarks on a new sound, we could say: in a mixture of genres that influenced his childhood in the main, the Country Music. The magic of it is in fact the essence of all, is an autobiographical album for the most part and that she do this with his raw voice in almost every song, using his biggest influence, mixing raw art itself in the visual era and all human contact thatIn Joanne, Gaga embarks on a new sound, we could say: in a mixture of genres that influenced his childhood in the main, the Country Music. The magic of it is in fact the essence of all, is an autobiographical album for the most part and that she do this with his raw voice in almost every song, using his biggest influence, mixing raw art itself in the visual era and all human contact that she is having with fans this year, makes this album an magnificent thing, very emotional and touching. Gaga deconstructs the taboos was created to the public by herself, the breaking expectations and is presented as it is: a human being. All of this is encompassed in the name 'Joanne', his middle name and the name of his late aunt. Taking perfect illusion which was perhaps a mistake to be on this album (despite being very good), the whole album sounds like a perfect mix, but not a mixture of Artpop, his latest album, a mix of meaning, traveling without disperse. A true solo album and a real singer singer. Very good.… Expand

    Simplesmente uma obra prima. Joanne é um álbum acima do esperado, as letras são incríveis, a melodia encantadora, as faixas não tão longas fazem do álbum viciante. Simplesmente o melhor lançamento de 2016.

    I love this record completely, his rhythm, his lyrics and especially the personal interpretation that is given by Lady Gaga
    She is the Queen of the music and not just pop

    Gaga proves her vocal abilities on catchy AF tunes. Million Reasons is a show stopper and AYo has a retro country rock vibe. While songs range in style, Gaga can sing it all. A true talent that will only improve.

    joanne lady gaga is a very inspired album, a more personal album with more air than the original gaga the little eccentric, gaga who loves making music, he writes great songs with great lyrics, definitely Joanne was created to demonstrate how you can an artist be so multifaceted.

    Absolutely amazing. A breath of fresh air from the basic bubblegum pop music based around the same chords. A true artistic statement. Amazing raw vocals that translate viscerally.

    A smart decision on Gaga's part to comeback with a fresh sound for herself. Her image and power had been disfigured by the end of the Artpop era.

    This album was a mixed bag for me at first, but then I found myself listening to some of the songs over and over. Its nowhere near close to the better albums of the year, but still a guilty pleasure for me.

    With Joanne, Lady Gaga has embraced everything she's best at: great vocals, great songs and great rhythms, tones and production. And let's be honesty, it's not everyday you have an album produced by Mark Ronson, right? Joanne is beautiiful, raw, real and mature. It's Gaga at her best!

    I'm in love with this new record. Gaga created a new sound, totally different from the others albums. She reinvented herself and that's amazing! The beats with instrummental and not with synthesizer gives a new sonority for it.

    This boring album is a lame attempt of this "talented singer" of being "indie". Her flopping singles show how irrelevant is she nowadays, after the first week FlopAnne will bite the dust. Horrible

    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.
