The Verge: "Lady Gaga seems to be back to business"

After the disappointment of 2013's flimsy concept album ARTPOP and the recalibration of 2014's Cheek to Cheek with Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga seems to be back to business. Her new single, "Perfect Illusion," is her second new song since 2014 — the first being the Academy Award-winning "Till it Happens to You," from the soundtrack of The Hunting Ground.

The song is reminiscent of "Bad Romance"-era Gaga, but with the extra adrenaline shot of a big stadium rock song and some twinkly, vaguely creepy '80s synthesizers. There's definitely a kick to her voice, and a toughness that has been on a back shelf since 2009'sThe Fame Monster.

Deserves every bit of praise it gets tbh. A bold song from Gaga that's completely different to everything out there today, that's what people have been asking and now they're mad it's not another just dance.2 ?

I'm loving the GP, other artists, and all these companies more than the fans. 

She took the right direction.

It reminds me of Just Dance with the simplicity of the lyrics though-- Which I was dying for her to return to. She lost her way with her songwriting Born This Way onward, so I'm glad she's returned to form.

I wouldn't say the verses are simplistic but I agree with the chorus :D
