    This album is just what the world was needing nowadays. A beautiful experience with a lot of emotional lyrics that seems to come from inside gaga's heart. Perfect melodies that makes us chill and a pure and clean voice that we usually don't see in other artists.

    I dont know what this woman cant do.She's done it all:jazz,rock,pop,dance.This album shows her musical maturity and also shows a much personal side of her.From the rock in your face opener "Diamond heart" to the heartfelt lyrics of "Angel down" ,this album shows her rebellious side as well as her soft side and im very excited to see what she does next.!!!!!!!

    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!

    Her best album. Minimal but not lacking extravagance. Exciting but not lacking class. Authentic but not boring. Joanne is Gaga at her peak, and is sure to bring her back to the world's eyes in a beautifully sophisticated way.

Through the album you get to hear her raw vocals and meaningful lyrics that will make you truly appreciate her natural talent. The themes throughout focus on societal and global issues as well as heartbreak and healing. I am so thankful that Gaga decided to share this part of her with the world and I hope that everyone can come together in appreciating it.… Expand

    In terms of the Lady Gaga we've all come to love/hate by now, this album definitely differs not only from the sound of her last three LP's, but, also the direction. "Joanne" finds more of a raw, emotional, Gaga this time around.

The LP has highlights such as a the guitar-heavy "A-YO," the late 60's influenced "Come to Mama," and the Florence Welch assisted track, "Hey Girl," but I feel that the standout track is the title track, naturally. The track ["Joanne"] is emotionally well executed and catchy; "Take my hand / Stay Joanne / Heaven's not, ready for you." However, this could very well be one of Gaga's less popular LP;s; even behind "ARTPOP," but it does deliver a few songs here and there that will easily end up on your Spotify playlists.… Expand

    This is absolutely one of Lady Gaga's best albums, if not THE best one.

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

    'Joanne' 'is a mixture of very classic pop songs, with no clear identity. Very often, while listening to it, you could get the impression that some songs come from the repertoire of other mainstream universe starlets ('' Dancing In Circles '' sounds like a Gwen Stefani b-side, '' A-YO '' from Aguilera or Megan Trainor '' for example).

Although Joanne, as everything Gaga does, is not perfect, it is ok because that is never her intention. More than perfect, Joanne is, like Gaga herself, human. And, to me, that is way better e more relatable.

    That aside, Joanne has some of Gagas most brilliant moments. Diamond Heart has Bad Romance's epicness and brilliant production, but with a rock twist. And Ay-o is Mark Ronson's version Uptown Funk for Gaga, we'll be stuck with that one for while, I foresee.    … Expand

    I think it's an amazing album.
    Maybe some people don't like it.
    But Gaga won't stay in the same place forever.
    She's gonna going to a new level.
    It's just about the music,
    Not the charts or sales.
    Hope you will enjoy this masterpiece.

    After the EDM ARTPOP era, Lady Gaga reinvented herself again, going back to her Italian roots and working with amazing producers and musicians. The vocals are raw, honest, authentic, the sound is very analog, the lyrics are perfect, she has grown as an artist, but as a woman too.

Lady Gaga shows off her vocal abilities with excellence and controls her emotions with precision. This is important in an album that is emotionally charged. "Joanne" is an album full of personal stories, stories about her father, her father's late sister Joanne (for whom the album was named), her sister, and her close friend Sonja who is suffering from cancer. Lady Gaga's lyrics also cover her breakup with actor Taylor Kinney, but this is far from being a breakup album. It is actually very uplifting despite the negative nature of some of Lady Gaga's experience.
    All of the album's tracks were produced by Mark Ronson, Bloodpop, and Lady Gaga herself. The music is definitely rooted in classic sounds of American music. In particular, the country genre seems to have influenced songs like "Million Reasons," a stunning ballad about finding "one good [reason] to stay" in a relationship that's at least a little rocky, and "Sinner's Prayer," a song about women who try hard in love only to be let down. Bloodpop's production definitely kept the songs from sounding dated though. "Dancin' in Circles" is an example of more modern production with that dancehall sound that's been popular as of late, but Lady Gaga has a way of owning the sound and making it one that only she could have made. Beck also had a hand in its writing and production.
    This album is one that benefits from having a deluxe edition available. It includes three bonus tracks, one of which is a song titled "Just Another Day." This is a song you will want to hear if you were a fan of Lady Gaga before she was famous or if you just became a fan of her because she sang jazz music with the legendary Tony Bennett on "Cheek to Cheek." This is not the Lady Gaga with whom many of her fans fell in love with because of her earlier hit records. This is a new version of her who's more personal and who's unafraid of exploring sounds that she did not explore with her previous albums. No matter what type of music you typically listen to, give it a chance. "Joanne" shows artistic growth and great talent.    … Expand

    It might be hard to believe that 8 years after her debut Lady Gaga is still capable of shocking the world. Joanne might be Germanotta's most cohesive and honest record to date and, without a doubt, this album showcases the greatness of the American songwriter and singer's vocals. One of the most cohesive albums of the decade.

The production is impeccable due to the legendary producers who worked with her. The lyrics are simple, but deeply beautiful. And the result is sensational.

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

    Album has very powerful songs that will become fan favourites, if not singles. Diamond Heart is a great opener track, that tells a survival story of a young Gaga, dancing on a club, hoping of a better future. Dancing in circles is classic Gaga song, I'd also consider John Wayne one.
    From a storytelling point of view, Sinner's prayer with it's folk-touch should be appreciated more than I've read from reviews. Million Reasons with it's country vibe is also surprisingly fitting for Gaga. Hey Girl is a beautiful song about women not pitting each other against each other.
    The title track, Joanne, is a heartbreaking song relying on acoustic guitars. It's extremely relatable for a person who has lost a loved one, and makes you cry. Angel Down serves as a commentary to society, has our young courage faded and are we lost in the age of the social as Gaga sings?
    In general I cannot find flaws on this album, I'd maybe tweak the tracklist a bit but that's it mainly. I'd also add Just Another Day to standard tracklist, it reminds me so much of the Beatles!

    O álbum possui fortes influências do 'Country' e 'Folk', um estilo que não me atrai em nada. Mas, o álbum não é ruim, pelo contrário, o álbum soa forte e mostra que, a Lady Gaga busca emancipação artística e pessoal.

Mas, o álbum não é ruim, pelo contrário, o álbum soa forte e mostra que, a Lady Gaga busca emancipação artística e pessoal.

    "Diamond Heart" abre bem o álbum, com vocais excelentes, mas, perdem a força em alguns momentos. A letra, algumas vezes, soa contraditória. Pois, Lady Gaga não precisava ser uma dançarina de boate pra ter estadia. Ela tivera uma família que podia lhe dar assistência. Mas, ela aborda pontos interessantes, ainda mais sobre o estupro que sofreu — " Um c*zão me quebrou/Destruiu minha inocência". Começam os acordes de "A-YO", uma música que soa forçada pela sua letra, com ela querendo pagar de "hipster fumante", sendo que ela já fizera isso com "Mary Jane Holland", em "ARTPOP"; e a produção ficou maravilhosa, só que, num conjunto, não me apetece.

    Chegamos a faixa título, "Joanne", que eleva a voz da Gaga, mas, não mantém os primeiros segundos. A Gaga clama amor através da composição! É uma letra poética. Mas a emoção sufoca a voz da Gaga em alguns momentos. "Joanne" é uma calmaria depois da agitação. "John Wayne" é uma pronuncia mais lenta de "Joanne". A Gaga saca dessas coisas, não? Sim! Essa música é a mais sacana do álbum, acredito eu. Lady Gaga ironiza os homens que tentam usar mulheres, mas, na verdade, estão sendo usados; vai ter objetificação de homem, sim!

    A minha segunda favorita do álbum, "Dancin' In Circles". É uma "So Hapy I Could Die" mais animada, menos inocente, mais adulta, menos 'autotunada'. Amo esse som porque Lady Gaga eleva sua personalidade: Ela não precisa de homem pra sentir-se bem. Transição para "Perfect Illusion"; e Lady Gaga complementa e pegada de "Dancin' In Circles" (?) com um desfecho. Não sabemos, na verdade. A Lady Gaga diz "que a música fala além de um relacionamento". Então, é uma música com uma letra subjetiva, livre de autotune. Quem gostou bate palma, quem não gostou, paciência.

    Odiei a brusca mudança para "Million Reasons"! A ordem, nesse caso, altera o resultado dos fatores. Parece que, faltou uma música entre essas, ficou vago. Mas a Gaga já fez isso antes em "The Fame/The Fame Monster", "Born This Way" e "ARTPOP". Essa música é a melhor dela em anos — a balada mais completa até aqui, amore.

    "Sinner's Prayer" não me agradou, em nada, talvez, a letra. Mas, quem gosta, curte o som. Sirva-se! A música não é ruim somente por que não me agradou. Assim como "Sinne'rs Prayer", "Come To Mama" não me agradou, talvez, a letra. É como se fosse um remake sonoro de alguma música de um clássico teatral.

    Não vou mentir, "Hey Girl" é estranha demais pra não amar. A letra, as vozes, os arranjos... O conjunto é forte demais! Florence e Lady Gaga soam indestrutíveis juntas. Fora que, Lady Gaga colocou muito sua mão nessa produção. Precisamos fechar os olhos e ouvir essa canção. Ela é alma do álbum, assim como Lady Gaga deu alma para "Born This Way" com "Highway Unicorn (RTL)" também. Todo álbum da Lady Gaga tem sua alma, e "Hey Girl" é isso!

    Uma oração em forma de música, com vocais exageradamente emotivos (que sufocaram tudo de bom que a música poderia ter), "Angel Down" fecham o álbum. Lady Gaga não precisava exagerar na interpretação dessa canção. É aquele ditado: "Às vezes, menos é mais"; e seguimos com isso. Não fechou bem o álbum bem como fizera com "Applause" em "ARTPOP", por exemplo.

    Sabemos que, Lady Gaga não quer repetir o que fez. Ela é um ser iniciativo, criativo e mutável. Explosão humana que anseia despertar curiosidade para o novo. "Joanne" é um álbum bom, com vocais excelentes e sonoramente autêntico. Mas, que possuem deslizes que, infelizmente, precisamos salientar.

    Bem vindo, "Joanne"!    … Expand

It is the one song on the album that RedOne was involved with, and it is the most raw. It is the sound Lady Gaga describes wanting to achieve on the album. This version of Angel Down makes me long for those supposed seven other songs they worked on together.

    When all is said done, all the reviews, the mixed emotions, I'm feeling lost. I am a fan of singers from Judy Henske to Leonard Cohen to Grimes. I'm not a genre-specific fan. I thought Artpop was much more cohesive than people gave it credit; it just had too many songs (similar to Born This Way). Gaga could easily be an album and a hit artist. That being said, this album just feels overproduced. This has never been a reaction I've had; The Fame was the ultimate postmodern pop album; The Fame Monster the deconstruction of the The Fame; Born This Way the Rock-Horror melodrama album; Artpop more a quasi surrealist pop album. The production matched the tone of every album. Yet for Joanne, the "authenticity" appears performed rather than genuine because of the production. This is made even more evident by the inclusion of the Work Tape. It may have even been a mistake to include the work tape because it shows evidence for Gaga's ability to actually curate an album that could hold up lyrically, musically, and politically with the album's influences and albums from this year. Sinner's Prayer, Million Reasons, and Dancin' in Circles are all songs that also would have been better served with a stripped down production. Rather than Ronson, it would have been interesting to hear Gaga work with someone like Mark Howard and RedOne.

Aliás, é o que ela sempre faz. Só que agora inovou de uma forma limpa, digna e bem executada, não adianta mais seguir um personagem que foi criado em 2008, ela é uma artista, tem um talento brilhante, não pode ficar fechada no que deu certo, ela prova que quer fazer certo de várias maneiras e é o que foi provado no álbum. Cada música tem a sua particularidade, sua sonoridade (incrível, digo de passagem) e você consegue ver em cada faixa, a garra, o orgulho e a vontade em sua voz para fazer algo bom. Tudo é feito de forma impecável e cada faixa tem seu propósito. Obrigado Lady Gaga, obrigado por sempre estar a sua frente, por sempre inovar e movimentar o mundo da música.… Expand

    This album is way better than ARTPOP ! Gaga is more mature and so is her music. The Fame (Monster) and Born This Way are amazing but she has to evolve and she's doing it perfectly. I like most of the songs but I think Diamond Heart, Hey Girl, Joanne and Angel Down are my favorite.

I know some fans will complain about the "new Gaga" vs. "old Gaga" but that is useless. She is the same and she proves it again by releasing an album that nobody would have expected a few months ago...… Expand

    Joanne is definitely Lady Gaga's best work yet. The album is full of emotional depth , clever lyrics , raw vocals and catchy melodies. It explores new genres and still has a 'gaga' feeling to it. Easily my favorite album from 2016.

    Simplesmente um dos melhores álbuns da carreira, e um dos melhores do ano sem dúvida. Possui uma característica muito intimista e especial, visando o lado mais pessoal da cantora que vivia de modo contrário ao mundo "real", Joanne carrega uma sonoridade mais naturalizada e tradicional do solo americano, além de alguma inovação e integração com o estilo de Lady Gaga.

    Hermoso álbum; muy personal, con letras bastante sentidas y auténticas. El trabajo de Mark Ronson ha sido espectacular. Sin duda el mayor logro musical del álbum es "Hey Girl" en conjunto con dos extraordinarias cantantes como Florence Welch y Lady Gaga en conjunción perfecta. Las baladas se lucen por su sensibilidad desde la maestría folk de "Joanne" hasta el epílogo de "Angel Down". HayHermoso álbum; muy personal, con letras bastante sentidas y auténticas.

Las baladas se lucen por su sensibilidad desde la maestría folk de "Joanne" hasta el epílogo de "Angel Down". Hay también reminiscencias a su anterior estilo como "John Wayne" y "Dancing in Circles" sin que por eso la sensación de unidad se rompa en ningún momento. Es,sin duda, su mejor disco; su más arriesgado paso adelante también y además, de quererlo, un sendero con el que puede explorar muchas novedades de estilo y melodía. Lady Gaga se muestra aquí como la más talentosa de su generación y se luce muy por encima de sus rivales del género.… Expand

    Flawed though it is, this brave and canny album hits the reset button and buys her a future. [Jan 2017, p.105]

    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.
