The Surrealist 27,470 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Joanne is Lady Gaga’s fifth studio album, which was released on October 21, 2016. The lead single, “Perfect Illusion,” was released on September 9, 2016. The album is named after her father’s sister Joanne, who died of lupus when she was only 19. Joanne is also Gaga’s real middle name (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta). “It’s all the toughness of the pain of losing her that made us all strong and made us who we are,” Gaga told Zane Lowe. “She is the woman of my past who is becoming and helping me bring more of my honest woman self into the future.” "Every song on this album is completely autobiographical. Not that the others weren’t, these are just implicitly related, every single song, to actual things happening in my life."

"Me and Florence Welch did a duet together. I started to work on an idea for a song that I really wanted to do with a girl. You'll see why when you hear the music and what the song is about. I just thought, 'Who do I want to sing with?' She's really to me if not the best, one of the greatest vocalists in the world. She's incredible." 12 Sep 2016: The track with Florence is called "Hey, Girl" Lyrics: Hey girl can you feel me, sometimes I go too far." Gaga then sings, "Hey girl it ain't easy I know it's pulling me apart. Hey girl don't you leave me. Hey girl we can make it easy if we lift each other. We don't need to on oneing-up another.

Ya know..🎨" 09 Oct 2015: "You can put it in your music but that’s not always what people want from me in my music. They want a sweet, delightful, ‘Just Dance’ kind of girl or they want ‘Bad Romance’ and that’s fine .I am happy to give people that, but maybe with my song ‘Dope’ or some of the things I did on ARTPOP, you saw a kind of dark side, wrapped up in colors,” she continued. “But maybe that was not always what people want to see. They want to see the perfection. Here [on AHS], it’s the imperfection that is the win. So it’s very liberating.” 28 Oct 2015: "As soon as I get home I run right to my piano".

I won’t tell you when, but it is coming out this year. Will it reflect my outer appearance? That’s a difficult thing to say as I don’t know that you yet know what I will look like for my next album, as I’m still creating those things. It’s something that’s always a gradual change with me.” 16 Jan 2016: "I’ve been writing a lot for the past year. The show has really affected my voice, I have to say. I’m using my listening from acting in my music more, which is crucial because it’s music. Who knew I could listen even more? It’s amazing to even talk about. There’s a tremendous freedom and a recklessness, but there’s also a sophistication in the show. There’s a lot of liberation, but it’s a very chic liberation." 03 Feb 2016: "I love my monsters. Everyday I'm more and more thankful for everything you have given me. I miss you and can't wait to sing and play and rip on some new tunes for you. ❤️" 08 Feb 2016: Leaving a studio in North Hollywood. 09 Feb 2016: Gaga is mixing. 11 Mar 2016: Gaga singing on mute (playing piano). 19 March 2016: Gaga playing piano.

I always get a tattoo for my new record. The only one I didn't have one for was The Fame, but I would that to be my David Bowie tattoo." 12 Sep 2016: "Every song is autobiographical.

Of Joanne's title track, Gaga said: "For me it's the real heart and soul of the record. We wrote that song and the decision to ultimately name the album Joanne was in tribute to my father's sister who died when she was 19. The death of her in his family and his life really left a scar and a wound that never healed." The song "John Wayne" is about Gaga's "incessant need to run after wild men" and getting bored of "the same old John." Gaga says, "This is a fantastic song we did, Josh Homme's guitars on it are just out of control." Finally, Gaga revealed that "Ayo" might be her favorite on the album. Gaga releases album cover.

"It's probably the most New York-glam-pop song on the album. It's the one that airs from David Bowie, Mark Bolan, and then maybe from some like obscure, London metal stuff, the Beatles. It also kind of airs from the electroclash movement from New York and that's kind of when I was coming up, was right after that. Gaga sings a snippet of "Hey Girl": "It wasn't that long ago we were living in the jungle so why do we gotta put each other down when there's more than enough love to g-g-go around" http://vocaroo.com/i/s1kUvvgDQt3B Mark Ronson Spoiler 23 Nov 2015: Reportedly Gaga spends more than twelve hours in a studio in London, UK with Mark Ronson. 23 Nov 2015: Entering a studio in London. 24 Nov 2015: Leaving a studio in London. 25 Nov 2015: Leaving a studio in London with Daphne Guinness. 10 May 2016: I've been working for the past few months with Lady Gaga on her upcoming record [...] They've seen the massive pop singles, tours, and dance numbers, so it's really great to make this very honest, authentic, analog kind of record with her."

"I can't really get into it too much. I'm not trying to be coy, but I feel like it's not my place. When the time's right to tell the story, I feel like she should tell. But it's some of my favorite music I've really ever worked on. It's incredible, I love it." 18 Aug 2016: "It's been one of my favourite records to work on and some of the people who have come in to play on it are my favourite musicians, writers and some of her favourites. I think it's just really good music and probably a record for people who might not have realised that her music had something for them — at least based on the small amount of people who've heard it so far. It's definitely pretty deep musically for sure." RedOne Spoiler 16 Jan 2015: In Studio with Gaga.
