illySpencer 1,434 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Of course Joanne is country music, but it's country music influenced Pop and Rock. Otherwise why she wrore a pink cowboy hat on the album and during all the ear ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallow is much more country inspired than anything on Joanne. It doesn't even have the pop structure.

No. It was Crazy sophisticated, far away from hard rock/ metal... PLus, if Billboard, Rolling Stones and many others music specialists said Joanne is country, well it is. You can think that Joanne is not country, but it’s not the truth. I prefer believe specialists over you, sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidyfal 758 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I say its pop with some country influences. Some of ya'll didn't experience being forced far out of the city to attend a long ass country folk gathering while having to sit through real country music... and it shows.

Mitchey 891 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Million reasons and MAYBE sinner’s prayer have a country sound and that’s literally it. Obviously the aesthetic is on the country side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Id say more pop-rock than country, the album is more predominately pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKANK 14,288 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 She collaborated with Country music hit maker Hillary Lindsey. The image most synonymous with the era is a cowboy hat. Fashion during most of the era revolved around Americana looks; cowboy boots, wide brimmed hats, and lots of fringe. Sinner's Prayer is a country song. She gave the Million Reasons music video the mellow dramatic vintage Reba McEntire video treatment. She evoked Western imagery in the lyrics, by referencing John Wayne, beer, horses, etc. And really what is more Americana than a dive bar tour and a Super Bowl performance? Joanne has a lot of influences, but your right that Country music is obviously the main influence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga herself has called it pop. Have you listened to an actual country album? Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochestrMonstr 2,977 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Joanne is about as country as Avril Lavigne’s old music was punk. In both cases, it’s pop that draws influence from another genre (actually multiple on Joanne) in terms of sound and aesthetic. If you listen to an actual country station though, you’ll find it’s far twangier than anything on Joanne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2School4Cool 6,430 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I would call it a pop album with brief country influences. Personally, I don’t think it’s “country,” but it definitely has some influences from the genre. Either way, I think Joanne is a hard album to classify. It’s kind of all over the place, as most amazing albums are. It has so many different influences and sounds that I feel like it can’t be categorized as one thing, it’s just an epic Gaga album.

ChromeAngel 3,230 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 But both of those song references are pop-country hybrids, so it’s not really a good argument. I live in Southern Minnesota where country is the dominate sound. I promise you it’s not country. From the music to the aesthetic to the lyrics.
