Hello kids with your vintage music, please answer this simple but debatable question 

Her name is Stefani Joanne Angelina, so does that make Joanne a self titled album?

Like when Beyonce called her album Beyonce or when Britney called her album Britney /Britney Jean aka BJ 🤭

Theoretically yes, but she focused heavily on her aunts name being Joanne. She didn't really bring much attention to herself but to her aunt and her family.

I'm asking myself this quetion since Joanne release. Locigly it should count as self titled album and I would love to see another self titled album in the future but this time with GAGA. While joanne album reflects her past, her family, gaga reflects her darkness and who she is as an artist and maybe with endustirel rock sound so it would be completely opposite to Joanne

No, because while she has Joanne in her name, the title is referencing her aunt, not her. 

She did say "Call me Joanne" though and even changed her Twitter name

Interesting question. Being her middle name, I wouldn't really consider it self-titled. When I see my middle names somewhere, I just think "hey it's my middle name" but I don't have a "oh that's me" moment the way I do when I see my first name, if that makes sense? It's just a name that appears on official documents and that's all.

On the other hand, people who think that the album is only named Joanne in reference to her aunt really missed the point though :billie:
It's about intergenerational trauma. Her middle name is Joanne because Joanne died and left a trauma on her dad. The name is a symbol, but what it really means is that she wouldn't have become the person that she is if her dad hadn't gone through that.

On that note… will Gloria by Sizzling Smith be considered a self titled album as well?

Open a poll Miss @River!

She did, but I seem to remember her saying explicitly the album was named after the aunt. I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure she said it a few times.
