[Gagadonna 10,801]

Okay I just submitted my review with a 8/10 rate. 

Here is my top-5-tracks review: 

Spoiler

Here is a review of the 5 songs I enjoyed the most on the album:

5. Dancin in Circles

For you fans nostalgic for 2009, Dancin in Circles was made for you. Little sister of LoveGame for its sexual tone and of Alejandro for its latino atmosphere, Dancin in Circles is an infernal track that will keep you awake until the early hours on the dancefloor... or in bed touching yourself. Even though Dancin in Circles seems to be related to Gaga's former big hits, Stefani's musical and artistic evolution is undeniably noticeable. Either for its hybrid genre of pop, house and country, or for the raw, fierce vocals she is serving, we recognize Stefani's artistic growth. The message is clear: she is back in a better place than never before!

4. Come To Mama

This song is one of the most surprising tracks on Joanne. Come to Mama is a song with jazz and country sonorities that unexpectedly fills your soul with satisfaction and joy. The lyrics are simple and repetitive but relatable, the instrumental track is authentic, reminding us of a time of innocence and simplicity we may not even have been witness of. Come To Mama is a song that showcases Gaga's ability for making great still humble songs. We can see the undeniable impact her Grammy-winning jazz album Cheek to Cheek has had upon her art.

3. John Wayne

John Wayne is a furious, transcendent rock song with a crazy, psychotic EDM-like chorus. With John Wayne, Gaga introduces us to the wildest part of her new alter ego Joanne. The song tells Gaga's love story with a bad boy called John Wayne. You may wonder why John Wayne sounds surprisingly similar to the album title track Joanne, at least I do!

2. Million Reasons

This song may be the most emotional ballad Stefani has ever released next to Dope or Til It Happens To You. With Million Reasons, Lady Gaga is no longer afraid to show us her most vulnerable self. It is hard to keep oneself from crying when her raw, cracking voice screams and begs for "another reason to stay." The line "But Baby I'm bleeding, bleeding" may be one of the most heartbreaking in Gaga's whole ballads catalogue. Hillary Lindsey's backing vocals are the cherry on top of the cake. In a nutshell, Million Reasons may be Gaga's most moving, earnest and relatable songs she has ever released on an album.

1. Angel Down

Angel Down is the title of the wonderful, heavenly, poignant yet tragic song that ends the musical experience of the album. Originally produced by RedOne and finished by Mark Ronson, Angel Down showcases what three music geniuses are capable of when talents are reunited. With Angel Down, Gaga brings us up high in Heaven to tell us a woeful story about humanity. The minimalistic instrumental track and Stefani's melancholic, pure vocals lead us somewhere in outer space to make us think about our human experience. The Work-Tape Deluxe version of the song is the actual demo on which Gaga frees her more chaotic self to express her most inner pains.

Other worthwhile songs: Diamond Heart, Joanne and Griogio Girls.
