    took me on a spiritual journey. i’ve been a fan of lady gaga for 10 years and she has never failed to deliver (to me at least) & that’s what matters about music. it makes you feel something and it has a special meaning for you. i felt that in chromatica!!! she took me to the disco!!!! and the transitions? chromatica I,II, III? TOP TIER. amazing.... she NEVER MISSES!

    Lady Gaga is the Goddess of Music and the REAL QUEEN OF POP in this generation. These tracks are so fresh and actual-literal bops that would invite you to dance even when you don’t feel like dancing. Chromatica has a lot to offer, since Gaga is the queen of reinventions. She never fails to deliver! Artistry is what she does best.

    A stunning album that reflects the whole career of Lady Gaga. A complete, cohesive and deep journey through the pain and finding the courage at the end. Babylon is a typical Gaga song who says things and references that u hardly can listen in another artist. An instant classic.

Gaga gave her Little Monsters what they have always wanted: a dance album without any ballad but there is still a strong message. what i think is the best about Chromatica is the duality of the lyrics that are dark and sad in comparison with the music that makes us wanting to dance like nobody was watching. to me, the album is very powerful. it taught me that we can be hurt, we can be in pain but we have to turn this pain into strength, kindness and love. it taught me that no matter if our life is raining on us, we have to fight, we have to keep dancing and we have to be proud of who we are.    … Expand

    Chromatica is really a great return to form, back to the dance pop roots of Gaga and Chromatica was everything I was wanting for a long time, this album made me cry, laugh and dance at the same time.
    The lyrics are so good and the production is perfect.
    Stupid Love as the lead single was the perfect choice and it’s really everything what we wanted from her. I love how Arianas and Gagas    Chromatica is really a great return to form, back to the dance pop roots of Gaga and Chromatica was everything I was wanting for a long time, this album made me cry, laugh and dance at the same time.

    Stupid Love as the lead single was the perfect choice and it’s really everything what we wanted from her.
    I love how Arianas and Gagas voices sound so good together, they complement each other.
    BLACKPINK and Gaga are one of my highlights on this album and Sour Candy is really a fun song.
    Sine From Above with Elton John is really one of the most powerful tracks on the album and the meaning of it shows us how much music means to her and so much more.
    I was really dancing non stop while I was listening to this album and one of the biggest surprises is the transition from Chromatica II to 911, it was so heavy that I started to cry because of the lyrics and I danced because that beat is so sick.
    The interludes are perfect and they make this album feel like a Journey, an adventure through Gagas mind and the world she created, Chromatica.
    I can’t really say what my favourite song is cause it changes over time, because every song is battling each other.
    This album brought me so much Joy and it’s one of my favourites this year so far, also my favourite album by Gaga herself.    … Expand

    Great album and great story. Everything from the start to the finish was amazing. In specific I really enjoyed chromatica II into 911, that alone was a master piece and a stroke of genius.

    Chromatica is incredible. Lady Gaga’s sixth studio album is a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OMG I LOVED THE ALBUM! It Gave is a full universe from start to finish! The first chapter was about external love, and trying to find the love within, with songs like Alice showing gaga trying to find that escape to make her happy, with the second song describing her latching onto a stupid love, of which she washes away in rain on me to be with herself and her support system! Pure genius! The second chapter focuses even more heavily on her mental health as well as some social attributes that can add to the weight of ones fleeting mental health. With songs like 911 describing her need, maybe even unhealthy dependence on prescription meds to keep her afloat, songs like plastic doll which talks about how womanizing and sexism can add to ones downfall, or even sour candy which is kind of a reclaiming off ones self, even though it’s too late, and they fall into a replay of events and of scarred memories in the song... you guessed it... REPLAY! The third and final act is an act about cleansing, finding the light, and actually trying to pick herself up from the shadows again. She partners with Sir Elton John in Sine From Above to sing to eachother and the audience the impact art and Music has had on their lives, almost reminding her what she lives for, music. The next song continues the theme of picking herself up after she’s reached the pit she was in during replay, with 1000 doves which has the album mix and the piano recording of which both carry a theme of asking their support system for just a small nudge to help her feel better, and to inspire her to get the help she needs (side note but I feel it is important, this song actually inspired me to get the help I needed, and to start therapy again). The last song is a celebration of this new found support, and light in her life, with the Song, Babylon; a (fan favorite) Runway-Haus/ electric-gospel about debunking gossip and letting those,who will keep your name in their mouth, babble-on about you. It’s a perfect way to end the album. A song mixed with samples of gospel chants adds to the layering of encouragement and power that this song Attempts, AND SUCCEEDS, at bringing to the listener. If I could give this album a 100/10 I would because consistency wise, haha has brought us to a completely realized universe of which every song was cohesive even visually, as the vibe of each song reflected the electrically vibrant, yet dark and mysterious nature of the album artwork which is perfect; you want your album cover to reflect your albums music. On top of that I would give it a 100/10
    Because music wise the songs were great, and there was such a good balance all the way too the end, and the album didn’t “fall off” towards the ladder half of the album like some people felt happened with Joanne (although I disagree in that Joanne didn’t fall off on the ladder, it just gave us different music styles of which maybe aren’t for everyone or the average ‘stan’) no matter what, Gaga is a musical artisan and her work reflects that. Thank you Gaga, thank you for Chromatica in a time where we all needed it.❤️    … Expand

    Chromatica is without a doubt Gaga’s most consistent album, in terms of theme and structure and song quality.

    Amazing! Her best album. Todas las canciones te llevan al mundo de Chromatica a través de sus sonidos, Gaga con su gran talento vocal no traslada hacia otro mundo. "Alice", "Free Woman", "Rain On Me", "Babylon", "911" y "Replay" son canciones increíbles que todos deben de escuchar. Cada canción se encuentra conectada y hacen un exquisito a los oidos

    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.

    Infectious, exciting and even a little hedonistic during some of the most confusing of modern times, now’s never been a better time to get lost in this new destination.

    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.
