Bambino 24,288 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Lady Gaga didn't need to redeem herself, but being Lady Gaga, she did so anyway. While 2016's twangy detour Joanne felt like a somewhat aimless change in direction, her work on the 2018 A Star is Born remake helped thrust her into new artistic realms, winning an Oscar for Best Original Song and netting a nomination for Best Actress. It earned back the trust of some fans who felt she was losing her way. With Chromatica, Gaga leaned hard into the brand of hyper weird dance-pop that brought her success in the first place and effectively gave fans the album they've been waiting for since 2011's Born This Way. Not a ballad in sight, Chromatica jumps from highlight to highlight. There's the ace Ariana Grande collaboration "Rain on Me" and the deliberate Madonna cosplay of "Babylon". "Chromatica II" features an immaculate transition. "911" is a thumper and of the best pop music moments of this young new era. Chromatica is Gaga's most satisfying record in nearly a decade, proving that no matter whatever extracurriculars she engages in, she never forgot what she made her name on. A classic the second it dropped. source: popmatters.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
