Was Perfect Illusion a Cultural Reset?

Topic

I know stans wanted a Poker Face 3.0 after years of misery with waiting for another pop album and with Cheek 2 Cheek, and then Perfect Illusion was released and the world was taken aback. It was a truly unique song and a powerhouse of a single that was not given the credit it was due by simply being ahead of its time, IMO. :huntyga:

What are your thoughts? :yennefer:

Not really although I must admit it made its impact on the fanbase. No one expected this to be the lead to LG5, which was always presumed to be a dark disco album produced by RedOne. Remember the Ma-Ma-Pa-Pa-Pa Perfect Illusion snippet?

It was career redifining for Gaga I guess.

Most people were shook when they realized that she wore just a crop top and some jeans. No bling bling, no avant garde fashion, no hyperbole... Just Gaga. Cultural reset? Hm, in a way maybe. But that stands for Joanne album in general not just the song itself. I mean Kesha and Miley went for a more stripped down approach afterwards.

I think we actually did expect some rock influences though after Mark started working with her. And then that fake leak happened of a dark rock song so lots of us were expecting something along the lines of Perfect Illusion. The shock happened when we found out it was nothing like the rest of the album which was more ballad heavy and acoustic

It's a banger (one of my faves btw) but there's nothing memorable about it. If you ask anyone outside they know the meat dress or Shallow. 🤷

Who tf knows Perfect illusion?
