    This is Gaga's triumphant return to pop/dance music, and it is nothing short of brilliant.

    It's absolutely her most personal work to date; every track is palpably powerful.

    It's absolutely her most personal work to date; every track is palpably powerful. While it is quite tame compared to her earlier works in terms of their outlandish nature, she makes up for it with newfound maturity and sophistication. The new shock factor is the relatabilty and honesty in the lyrics and composition. She has never sound more free and more versatile in her vocals as well; her vocal prowess she demonstrates in this album is jaw-dropping.

    Personal highlights for me are all the Chromatica interludes, "Alice", "Stupid Love", "Rain On Me", "911", "Enigma", and "1000 Doves". Act 1 of the album (from "Chromatica I" to "Fun Tonight") is absolute pop perfection, in my opinion. I wouldn't change a single thing about that run of the album.

    This is easily one of the greatest dance albums ever created, and it is an instant classic. Bravo, Gaga. You've created something truly magnificent.    … Expand

    The Queen of Pop is back! If you're more than just a casual fan of Gaga, you need to get the deluxe edition of this album from Target. "Love Me Right" is worth the price of the album alone.

    The album is a trip to her heart and mind. Bringing a brief nostalgia of times we not lived before. She always innovates and shows a different part of her. Totally an album that if it weren't for the pandemic, it would be playing in several clubs around the world. Celebration, freedom and connection with our interior as well.

    I can listen to Chromatica no matter if I'm sad or happy or angry and it helps me to feel better. Very deep, honest and emotional. I'm grateful for all the people, who worked on this album. They did such a great job.
    This is what I was waiting for and what I needed.

Alice es sin duda el mejor opening de cualquier álbum que Gaga haya creado.

Packed with crisp production, deeply introspective lyrics, and dance-floor ready beats, Gaga reminds everyone why they fell in love with her in the first place.

    Standout tracks include Fun Tonight for its unexpected bait-and-switch, 911 for its experimentation (yes, Chromatica II is a necessary listen in combination), Replay for its inherent strength on, forgive me, replay, and Sine from Above, a delightfully euphoric duet with Elton John highlighting music’s ability to heal.    … Expand

    Chromatica offers a new lease of life not just for Lady Gaga, but for listeners too. The tracks are sure to get you on your feet, and whilst we may all be at home social distancing, it will leave you begging for a night out. The ability to talk about serious issues such as heartbreak and mental health, but in a euphoric way is something only Lady Gaga could achieve. A fantastic album!

    The album itself will take you on an eargasmic lyrical journey to Chromatica. It tells you Gaga’s story without the sad slow tempo and with a sampler of almost every era she has served us. IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. I fear, she might have come up with her best album of her career. I fear that even she might have trouble topping this one.

    Creo que básicamente es el resumen de los 11 años de trabajo de Lady Gaga, Alice sorprende gratamente siendo un tema que podría haber sido un éxito en los 80, 90 y 00. Temas cortos y pegajosos, pop puro algo que faltaba en estos tiempos de pandemia.

    Gaga is a chameleon. She has shifted genre since she 2008 debut, and each time it has been a success. Even during what most consider her “flop era”, ARTPOP, it still reached number one on Billboard and the Official UK Charts and has some of Gaga’s best work. It’s honestly a gem in a minefield.

Even during what most consider her “flop era”, ARTPOP, it still reached number one on Billboard and the Official UK Charts and has some of Gaga’s best work. It’s honestly a gem in a minefield. But we’re not here to discuss ARTPOP. Chromatica is the newest iteration of Lady, and my god, what an absolutely incredible record. Gaga claims that the album must be listened from beginning to end, not on shuffle, to appreciate the story. And that story is love, heartbreak, the pressure of fame, the media reports, her struggles with addictions and how she has handled gossip and backstabbing lovers and friends. Yet, with what one may assume is quite a dark album based on this alone, each song has your feet itching to just get up and dance. You feel good. It’s a true talent to be able to make people feel this way, and I’m sure the likes of Adele could not do the same. Not to pit any artist against each other, but it shows how each artist interprets their pain, and how they project it back out once they’ve processed it. In this case, we might be crying to the lyrics on the dance floor, but we’re feeling good and we’re dancing. In Chromatica, no one thing is greater than another... except Chromatica itself. A true return to form, with Gaga showcasing that when she wants to, she can bring back the 2008, New York Italian girl with ambitious plans to change the world one sequin at a time we all fell in love with. She sure has changed the world, and now she’s made her own.… Expand

As duas faixas seguintes são os singles já lançados, que soam mais fresh do que nunca é casam perfeitamente para seguir apresentando o álbum. Considero as duas faixas seguintes como irmãs, em um momento que o álbum está falando sobre como uma mulher é autossuficiente, letras muito impactantes e produções MUITO arrojadas. Começa então o segundo ato. Aberto por uma interlude que cumpre muito bem o seu papel, mas é seguida pela esquecível bate estaca 911,sem dúvida da uma esfriada no álbum que, ainda bem bem seguida da completamente pop e ponto incrivelmente positivo do álbum Plastic Doll, por mais fútil que a letra possa parecer, é extremamente necessária. Das faixas seguintes à parceria com o grupo sul coreano é uma verdadeira surpresa, música completamente limpa, infelizmente não é maior. Enigma está para mostrar a genialidade lírica de gaga e a seguinte não pede o mínimo replay, mesmo com um instrumental cativante. Seguimos para o terceiro ato, vemos que a interlude agora realmente foi desperdiçada, já que estamos fechando um ciclo, o álbum poderia ter nos preparado melhor para este momento. Sine from above, parceria com Sir. Elton é definitivamente um dos pontos mais altos do álbum, líricamente tocante, maneira clássica de fazer um dueto sem precisar forçar nada. 1000 doves só pela pelo título, poderia ser mais bem representada, faixa brilhante, preparando para um desfecho grandioso, este dado por Babylon, que tem tudo para ser um novo clássico queer, repetitividade chata mas que faz um total sentido e apresenta nada mais além de coesão. CHROMATICA realmente é um dos maiores trabalhos d aartisca, e mesmo que precocemente, afirmo dizer que um dos mais marcantes de sua carreira até então, homogêneo e não cansativo. Tudo que Stefani precisava para confirmar sua credibilidade artística.… Expand

    Gaga showcases her roots to dance pop. As for someone who's career spans 12 years, she has proved herself yet again! She denies to step down.

    Gaga returns to what she does best. A cross between Born this Way and ARTPOP

    This album, as a whole, is not Gaga's best (in my opinion that being "The Fame Monster" and "Born This Way") but definitely better than Artpop, Joanne and Cheek To Cheek. It has a dance, eurodance and 90s vibe. In my opinion there ain't a bad song on this album, however very few are also the standout tracks for me: homogeneous, pleasant and solid album but it could have been better for me

    Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this. I was a little worried for Chromatica after hearing the singles - I loved Stupid Love but the other two I was feeling meh on. After hearing the whole album I can safely say I love every song (including Rain On Me and Sour Candy, which have grown on me after hearing them in the context of the record).

This is a PERFECT dance pop record and was truly made to be played in clubs. However, the lyrical matter is often very serious and heartfelt - making for a truly interesting sound and experience. The production is also EXCEPTIONAL and Gaga sounds better than ever. I think there’s something for everyone on this album. Favorites: Replay, Enigma, Babylon, 911. Oh, and happy pride month!… Expand

    Eu me apaixonei pelo retorno ao pop da Lady Gaga, Chromatica e um culto ao pop, destaque a Faixa Alice, gostei muito, estou viciado na faixa, fazia tempo que não ouvia algo tão bom vindo da Lady Gaga. Estou muito feliz pelo ATO POP.

    This album is necessary both for those who talk about its monsters, and for its audience that understands that it is not easy to be a female artist who positions herself
    instead of making songs just to dance, dance and dance. this is the time to dance sad.

    It is an album that rescues the scent of pop music, Lady Gaga shows all her confidence as a vocalist and composer, it is a dance project with a very deep lyrical nuance, the Jazz phase, "Joanne" and "A Star is Boarn" served as an impulse to appreciate the album in its entirety, because "Cromatica" brings a more clean and polished view of Gaga despite your extravagant aesthetic and Freak signature

    One of her best creations yet! Lady Gaga has out done herself yet again. Time and time she re-invents herself. Chromatica is one of the best albums of 2020 & I think it will continue to be a fan favourite forever. The way each song plays into each other and how majestic Lady Gaga's vocals are on the tracks is amazing!

    Chromatica is a nice dance-pop album with a lot of disco influence to it. Highlights are songs between Chromatica II and III which are more defined and stable. It's harder now to identify Lady Gaga's style because she seemed trying so hard to blend in with the current and not being the trailblazer as she did with her first three albums.

    Full of nods to 99s and 80s house dance/club music. Deep Challenging lyrics paired with well produced club beats. Her most cohesive record since Born this Way the album is punchy and no song outstays it’s welcome. Full of clever and effective little notes.

    Es un disco , dónde Lady Gaga te lleva por su mundo interior, te vas dando cuenta por todo lo que ha pasado durante su carrera artística y tiene mensajes muy claves, pero eso si , con un ritmo dance que es inevitable bailarlo.

    The nostalgia in the production — a blend of crisp digital synth textures and ringing grooves drawn directly from '90s house music — further bolsters the shadowed euphoria of a song like "Sour Candy," in which Gaga is joined by the K-pop girl group Blackpink; "Sine from Above," featuring Elton John, gets a similar friction from the interplay between their voices.

    Chromatica’s frank grappling with the vagaries of Gaga’s brain – and the way fame exacerbates them – ends up feeling much more real than touring dive bars with a guitar and a Stetson ever did.
