Will Gaga ever go back to Chromatica?

[Starmie25 20,361]

It's easily her saddest album to date unfortunately.

However the Chromatica Ball was a big stepping stone into leading into MAYHEM.

Chromatica really aged to be her worst album before Joanne. Joanne is her worst of course. 

Awwww her fans, always so nice

I’d love more 90s house, lighten up y’all

I hope she don’t go back, I loved the visuals! But this is the reason why I didn’t like chromatica

bloodpop

sogns under 3 minutes

Songs without bridge

In 30 years when she opens her greatest hits world domination eras reinvention tour with Enigma you queens will all be screaming 

And so will I

Doesn't she always tend to omit songs from the previous album on tour? At least since the artRAVE?

The artRAVE only had an acoustic version of Born This Way and then a very short version of Judas later on.

The JWT only had Applause.

The Chromatica Ball only had Angel Down.

The Mayhem Ball...well, idk the setlist yet but I'm assuming no Chromatica period?  I'm sure she'll sneak it into the piano segment though and in future shows she'll bring a couple songs back.

I would actually love for her to perform Enigma again  

My opinion of TCB soured a bit over time but the way she performed Enigma still gives me chills. Just her, a mic, and a good song

In terms of performing the songs again, YES she will! In terms of revisiting the album…maybe for an anniversary of sorts. People like to write off Chromatica but I truly believe that she got what she needed from it and was able to move on to Mayhem. There would be no Mayhem if there was no Chromatica, imo. On Chromatica it feels like she faced off with dark themes (I think this is what TCB was all about). She even said at some point that “Babylon” being the album closer was intentional as it signifies the end of the journey but that you can keep dancing and moving forward to something new…which ended up being Mayhem. I think its so interesting how the GP is praising the Mayhem era as “the return of Gaga” and even the fans praise it as the “return of dark-Ga” but to me all of that happened with Chromatica, its a very dark album in the songwriting, and in the tour, just not in an obvious way.  Anyways, Chromatica forever.

I hope she does something for a 10th or 15th anniversary but not sure I want a 2.0 album right now. I love it for what it is and it worked at that time but listening to Mayhem you can really tell she wasn't at her best with those previous albums. As much as I love Chromatica now it feels like the songs were built for her. I obviously don't want to discredit her songwriting or Bloodpop's production and all of the producers involved because they did an amazing job but I'm just glad that album and tour were what lead to the creation of Mayhem.

Back in 2022 I really wanted her to do a dark version of Chromatica based on the "MonoChromatica" rumors and it'd have worked with a 90s industrial techno type of sound. Maybe it could still work some day but I completely trust Gaga's vision and what she decides to do next. I don't think she wants to revisit ARTPOP, Joanne or Chromatica but it's really nice to see the fans appreciate all of these and of course Gaga talking about them and learning new things about what it was to record those.

Enigma always sounded like a STADIUM song and just to see her perform it in the middle of one holding the mic above her head and spinning around was exactly how I wanted it to be performed.

Rain on Me is only a “good song” because it was a duet with Ariana and it did “good” on charts.

Otherwise we wouldn’t be asking for a song that’s even bad for Ava Max standards.

It got the treatment Perfect Illusion deserved

chromatica was beautiful, I wouldn't mind a 2.0
