JoeJane 2,327 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Lady Gaga – Joanne An inconsistent stab at genre promiscuity can’t hide the voice and the heart at the core of Gaga's talents. Lady Gaga may be pop’s version of multiple personality disorder, but on her latest record, a prominent stab at genre promiscuity can’t hide the voice and the heart at the core of her talents. Many artists have an ARTPOP in their catalog, an album so off-base that it forever defines their output into “before” and “after.” In Gaga’s case, the “before” was pop perfection: a string of endlessly danceable, empowering singles that raised her profile from one of many experimental singer-songwriters eking out life in New York City to Mother Monster. The “after” was a calculated attempt at rehabbing an image that musically had begun to succumb to excess.

Brainiac 10,352 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/10/album-review-lady-gaga-joanne/ I believe this counts for Metacritic. They give it a score of B which I'm not sure what that equates to out of 100. Quote On a recent three-date dive bar tour to promote Joanne, fans clever enough to figure out the locations — or wise enough to just live-stream the gigs from (*shudder*) Bud Light’s Facebook page — saw Gaga in full cowgirl regalia. Watching her in the intimate setting taking on the tracks of Joanne, the immediate question becomes about self. Is this just the latest costume for an artist who has thrived as an enigma, or are we finally seeing who Stefani Germanotta truly is? The answer of course is almost certainly somewhere in the middle. Gaga isn’t naked on Joanne, but she has stripped off the flank steaks and AutoTune. The result is a work that may not close any circles, but instead start the pattern of a new shape: something weird, but compelling, and largely authentic. Gaga may have an ARTPOP in her catalog, but now she has a Joanne too, and that’s a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
