scrappy 302 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Lady Gaga, Joanne ★★★☆☆ Download: A-Yo; John Wayne; Come To Mama; Sinners Prayer Since ARTPOP, Lady Gaga’s musical career has tended towards retrenchment. The Cheek To Cheek duets album with Tony Bennett established her credentials as a “proper” singer; and now this Mark Ronson-co-produced effort effectively abandons the electropop dance arrangements of ARTPOP in favour of more stolidly rockist fare, as if pursuing rock’n’roll authenticity. And to a certain extent it works, especially when Josh Homme’s on hand to lend gritty riffing and imaginative lead lines to some tracks: his spiky but fluid breaks on “A-Yo” and “John Wayne” are undoubted album highlights. Sadly, the bombastic orchestral stomper “Perfect Illusion”, a much-anticipated collaboration with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, is less impressive, just stridently dull; while the peace plea “Come To Mama”, co-written with Father John Misty, is a big, sax-seasoned anthem in the Spector/Springsteen stops-out style. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/album-reviews-lady-gaga-joanne-leonard-cohen-you-want-it-darker-pretenders-alone-a7369836.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan Heart 7,382 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It deserves more but whatever. Waiting for more reviews. They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorfilm 7,295 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Review counted on Metacritic. Hmmm. Off to a not-so-hot start. Edit: Nevermind. The Independent also gave BTW and ARTPOP a 60/100. So it's around what the publication has usually given her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
