Would ASIB Soundtrack Have Happened Without JoAnnie?

[Lady Papa 3,739]

Without the country album JoAnnie, would the ASIB soundtrack have even happened? I feel like not only Cheek2Cheek, but also JoAnnie, were vital if not necessary to build Gaga up to create this epic movie soundtrack that will be remembered always. Thoughts?

i’d assume so, she was cast in ASIB before Joanne i think?

[NFRatwell 18,943]

Gaga got the role for ASIB before she finished Joanne, so yes.

JoAnnie? 🤔

[funkyhaus 7,171]

Yes, I don’t think Joanne would have happened without ASIB

She said ‘hey f**ks, I have this song called Shallow and it can either be on my country album or you can let me sing it in your movie and make us all millions...  you decide’

it feels like ASIB was an extension of JONAL

[Lady Papa 3,739]

She really needed JoAnnie in order to build up her acclaim, her self-confidence, the public interest, develop her musical talent even MORE... I mean who knows how ASIB would have done without JoAnnie. There are so many factors to consider.

I feel like ASIB was Jenny but without all the 'it's to heal my father' bullshít

OMG I think you're RIGHT! I truly believe that ASIB was what Joenema was trying to be, she just had to build up to it

Joannie are you ok? Are you ok Joannie?

I feel like I'm having a stroke?

Jolene is Dolly's best album but I can't recall her being the protagonist of ASIB?

Yes, both had Mark Ronson, producer of the renamed Back To Black. However, as Gaga likes to leave her mark, doing Joanne before may have helped musically ripen the sound of ASIB.
