Chelseaaaaaa 1,453 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 She does know what we want. I think a lot of people took that quote in the context of releasing an album that sounds like her old material, but I'm now realizing she figured out most of her fans would enjoy 'Joanne' even if they doubted this. She's forcing many of us to expand our horizons and consume something fresh (as she always has). There will be fans that aren't into this era because it's not a pure pop spectacle, but, generally, fans are very content with the body of work she has released. What's interesting is this album is her most gp-friendly but is easily masked as something else. Maybe it's not top 40 radio friendly, but 'Joanne' can easily to appeal to everyone; from your grandparent to my little sister. Rock fans, pop fans, ballad fans, R&B fans. Etc. It's a gorgeous pop record but not in the modern sense. I view 'Joanne' as pop the way The Beatles were considered pop for their time, yet aren't anymore. This album truly changes one's perception of who Gaga is believed to be as an artist. At this point, it's just a matter of ensuring everyone gives the album a chance because the rest will work itself out. That doesn't mean this album isn't without risks, though, and I think she knows that. It won't be a critical darling because it's a huge departure from her former sound. It won't sell unbelievably well due to the fact that it isn't recyclable pop music a la The Chainsmokers, let's say. It's in a weird, albeit interesting, middle ground. It will also set the precedent for what she's able to do next. She can continue to mesh genres and push boundaries like she did with 'Joanne' or release the once expected disco record; perhaps she will do neither and shock us again! I'm really, really not worried about this album cycle. It's about so much more than bops or taking over social media. And, quite frankly, I believe Gaga knows this. She probably always has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KleinGa 18,177 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Even when I tried to tell myself I'd much preferred she released the RedOne bops instead of this fresh experimental album, I actually prefer this one. Idek why. I think she worked some Illuminati spell on me tbh.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
