    The RAH RAH **** is back in full effect. Probably my fave Gaga album 10/10. So much innovation as usual no one is doing what she's doing - no one has ever been able to. If you thought Gaga was over, this album proves she's just starting!

    I was worried about this album because I didn't like much Stupid Love at first, but after listening to Chromatica I can say it was a great trip in space. The album is cohesive and has a "universe". To me, the most surprising thing on it is the interludes ; I absolutely loved the 3, really beautiful and even magical. The other surprise is the feat with Elton John on the electro song SineI was worried about this album because I didn't like much Stupid Love at first, but after listening to Chromatica I can say it was a great trip in space.

The other surprise is the feat with Elton John on the electro song Sine From Above, that was really interesting and fresh. My favorite tracks are Alice, Rain On Me, 911, Sour Candy, Enigma, Sine From Above and Babylon.
    However, I haven't connect with some other songs, and there are some songs, especially some choruses, that lacks originality or are a bit repetitive in my opinion, that's why I didn't fully enjoy the trip.

    In short, Chromatica is a great body of work, not perfect, but it definitely has something special. One of my favorite Gaga albums for sure!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After many years of doing so many things, from making a jazz album, to acting in a movie and guest starring in a tv series, Lady Gaga returns to her roots that is the dance floor as she said it “The dance floor is mine I earned it.” With many hearing the two first singles they thought they knew everything.... HA! The album is NOTHING like I expected! The album is kind of like a dream, or a movie. It has interludes that fit in perfectly whenever a song is and the other starts. As for the songs it’s sorta everything you wanted it to be. While the instrumentals are amazing to dance on and the songs are really wonderful to listen to, the lyrics are darker and deal with topics everyone at least deals once in their lives with. And Gaga made the album for this reason! She wants for those who suffered and have been damaged to know they are not worthless and that having reactions to your trauma and fears is part of being human. The record is about finding your way back to the joys of life. If you have ever suffered something or you are suffering right now please listen to the album and you will cry! Cry of happiness, of sadness, and anger! You will laugh, smile, dance, every emotion you will have will come forward! If you wanna get laid Sour Candy is the song! If you want a sign from above then Sine From Above is the song for you! There’s something for everyone because “In Chromatica no thing is greater then the other!”

    And finally my faves? Alice, Sine From Above, and 1000 Doves.

    Have much fun listening to the album because you have no idea what’s in store :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Chromatica is an epic 6th Chapter of Lady Gaga's musical evolution, combining her most personal lyrics with a cohesive, contagious back-drop of the dance beats that launched her into fame. Broken into three Acts separated by beautiful string orchestral interludes that segway into the proceeding track(s), you won't know whether you want to cry, sing, dance, or all three. The album begins by declaring "my name isn't Alice but I'll keep searching for Wonderland." And, through each Act, Gaga uses her pain as inspiration to both escape and heal. Standout tracks include Alice, 911, Plastic Doll, Sour Candy featuring K-pop band BLACKPINK, Replay, and Sine From Above featuring Elton John in an epic, long-awaited collaboration. Stupid Love and Rain On Me, both Top 10 hits in the US, provide a more commercial and lighter sonic experience. Her best work yet, perfectly defining where ARTPOP and Joanne meet on the dance floor, reassuring fans that Lady Gaga is here to stay. Expand

    Thank you, Lady Gaga! I'm so glad about everything in this album, as a little monster I've been expecting for years now an album and she just gave us all of it.
    This record is a full story that needs to be listen carefully, if you expect something like her older albums, I'm sorry but it's not the place for it. She just delivered something new, exciting and full of emotions, you haven't

    Gaga has made her mark in pop in the past, this album is pretty decent and gives us that gaga we all once knew back but the quality in songs on here are hit or miss. The Singles were the standout songs along with Alice & Babylon.

    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.
