    É um dos álbuns mais íntimos e constantes da Gaga, as músicas conseguem te trazer pro lado dela, te acalmar e ao mesmo tempo te fazer gritar e pular com as músicas.

    Gaga strips away her previous sound and style, resulting in a bland collection of "soulful" songs that painfully bleed together. The collaboration with Florence, "Hey Ma", is a boring affair.

    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.

    This is probably her worst album.
    The only song I enjoyed was Joanne (the piano version), after that a terrible lead single and bland, mediocre songs after.
    Country isn’t her thing at all, she should go back to Born This Way kind of pop

    En Joanne, Lady Gaga nos da un vistazo a su parte más personal, con letras más maduras que en sus grabaciones anteriores y sonidos que permiten escuchar su voz de forma más natural en lugar de sobreexplotar los beats electro-dance como en sus primeros trabajos.

The only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 is the existence of “Dancing In Circles,” which I just don’t like. Top Tracks: “Diamond Heart,” “Joanne,” “Perfect Illusion,” “Million Reasons,” “Angel Down,” and “Grigio Girls.” “Diamond Heart” speaks to me because while we aren’t perfect and while we each have our dark moments, what doesn’t change is the strength of our heart. “Joanne” makes me want to cry because we can all relate to someone close to us dying. “Perfect Illusion” is about realizing that what you once thought to be the case really wasn’t. “Million Reasons” is about wanting to go, but also wanting to stay given the right reason in a myriad of situations. “Angel Down” is commentary on gun violence and our generation. “Grigio Girls” is a fun song about friends, but also connects her aunt to one of Gaga’s good friends who has since passed away.

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

    Not her best work, but a step up from Artpop (which I still enjoyed but was not floored by). There's a lot to love on Joanne, and this is perhaps Lady Gaga's most emotionally-resonant effort to date. I'd recommend "Diamond Heart," "AYO," "Joanne," "Million Reasons," "Sinner's Prayer," and--if you're going for the deluxe edition--"Just Another Day."

    I love, when Gaga is giving us something we didn't want, because it is not only very good despite we didn't think that it could be, and is well produced, but also people really are interested in it. Everything in this album is the thing i love. The concept, sounds, image of Gaga, lyrics. I can surely say it is her best album

    Joanne is one of the best pop/country albums since Taylor Swift's Red. The production was overall great, the lyrics were ok but the vocals were amazing. Perfect Illusion was not a good entrance to the album. It was pure pop with some instruments. The radio hated it, the gp didn't care for it and the fans were overall disappointed. But then the album came out and everything changed. ThereJoanne is one of the best pop/country albums since Taylor Swift's Red.

    This is a fantastic album. All the songs could make you sad, could make you happy, could make you dance...could make you feel. And this is what good music is supposed to do!

    I liked that Gaga stopped doing the generic pop that she made since "The Fame" to make an album where she was finally herself.Despite having bad songs like "Perfect Illusion", there are very nice songs like Joanne, Millon Reasons and Angel Down

    Im so impressed with Gagas new album Joanne. I wanted to give it 10/10 but some song does not measure up unfortunately. In this album Gaga manages to move past her extravagant persona and touch on a more emotional level. Its a breath of fresh air coming from her. Mixing pop like song with more calm emotional songs make this album one of her better performances.

    Amazing album! Lady Gaga sure is one of the best artists from nowadays. She knows exactly what she's doing, and never fails to impress her little monsters.

    Joanne:um álbum de razoável pra bom, com algumas músicas gostosas de se ouvir, porém Gaga não consegue se encontrar, não sei se ela fez esse álbum pois no momento estava serena, mas ela deve voltar para sua antiga identidade urgentemente.

    Beautiful soul and mind of pop culture, Lady Gaga provide again and she don't dissapoint. This time she made feel in love with the country side of her rich and colorful persona. Best positive aspects of album are very personal vibe, beautifull songs in their lyric and melody plus feeling of musical adultness of Stefani. Not many think's wrong maybe a few lazy lyrics and personally...I'mBeautiful soul and mind of pop culture, Lady Gaga provide again and she don't dissapoint.

    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.

    Ruim demais, Gaga mostrando que atira pra todo lado em busca de sucesso. Soa tão falso em identidade e personalidade... Não é "ruim", mas tá bem longe de ser bom!

    Her vocals are raw and powerful and they communicate a lot of emotion throughout the album. Her vibrato shines during Million Reasons. Her dance more pop songs are not "big" hits like her previous works but that doesnt mean that they lack from quallity. Many powerful songs like Joanne, Angel Down, Grigio Girls and Come To Mama.

    Gaga may show variety and growth on the album, but the album is bland, very boring. I just wanted more because the lead single 'Perfect Illusion' was so good.

    Most of the songs feel honest, authentic. However some like A-YO, John Wayne have good ryhtms but the lyrics are meh. The best ones are: Diamond Heart, Million Reasons, Hey Girl and Angel Down. It´s not the dance-club album but still Gaga, well done!

    The best album ever. It shows how Gaga can create music without exrra spices on every custome she can wear. She is the best artist of this generation and the "queen of pop". I really like this album goes and it's her best yet so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me gusta mucho Joanne, es el álbum más personal de Lady Gaga. Con sonidos más acústicos y letras más profundas, ella intenta conectar con sus fans. Deja un lado los estilismos y toda la parafernalia para tratar de demostrar su talento. Definitiva, un gran disco.… Expand

    Million Reasons is one of the best ballads I've heard in a while. Lady Gaga sets another trend in pop music that many pop girls followed. Can't wait for the next album.

    This is Lady Gaga's best album to date.
    It has character and emotion.
    The vocals are nice. The art cover is kinda cute.
    Lady Gaga is the future of music.

    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.
