Let me just say this. Ain’t NO SINGLE ONE of her contemporaries are releasing an album like this. Not one. An album of theatre bops and show tunes by a pop star in 2024? That descends into darkness and madness in the second act? WHO DOES THIS ?! Lmao I love her and I’m so grateful for this, my first listen was a COMPLETELY beautiful and unique experience. Anyway, I’ll come back later with more intelligent thoughts. Love y’all xox I’m feeling the same way. The album gives me shades of Barbra Streisand’s “pop” albums - I keep thinking of “Color Me Barbra” while listening to it - a collection of songs that are so perfectly conceptually tied together and performed with specific intention. Just brilliant. This is a slay from our girl. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilyLark 9,899 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It's all excellent. Her vocals sound so good, too. Very crisp and clear, and you can tell she's a trained vocalist on these tracks. Low key this might be some of her best vocal work...which is amazing when you consider vocals often degrade with age & smoking (glad she's quit recently). Then again, i can't recall who it was, but some singer was smoking like a chimney till the day he died and his vocals were still pristine...so some people are just freaks of nature. I can tell it's a passion project for her (not for the numbers or charts, but simply for the music itself). That said, if she had released a music video for Happy Mistake and pushed it for the radio...I suspect it would do numbers (not DWAS numbers, but top ten). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 24,009 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The Joker and Happy Mistake. The other songs are mostly jazz which truly isn't my cup of tea. But lemme tell ya i'm OBSESSED with The Joker. I love the way she sings on that song, it's her voice but it's definitely Harley singing lol, with that crazy twist in her vocals 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I low key believe this is her best vocal work on a full album (there are some songs in the past which are superior, but in terms of an entire work the vocals on this album are superior imo). Really amazing considering her smoking (though she's said she quit, and she has quit in the past temporarily) and how vocals usually degrade with age. You can tell she's taking care of her voice and is a trained vocalist. One of the few things I will complain about with Gaga's albums is the sound mixing isn't always great...but it's fantastic here (better than Chromatica). I hope the soundmixing is as good on LG 7. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 14,285 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I swear the vocals of this woman are from another world. 16 years in the game and she still surprises me 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bim 371 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 You can hear how happy she is on this record, and she fought hard to get to a place like this. Chromatica, Joanne and ARTPOP are all beautiful in their own ways, but definitely dark-coded/attached to painful memories. Really proud of her for this one ✨ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
