    The album connects it self to a massive dance floor background. Gaga brought us a perfect connection to different ages, a perfect futuristic nostalgia, cuz we're living the Chromatica's planet nostalgia. Sine from above is one of the most iconic songs in her career

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. honestly, GaGa served on that album. 'stupid love' with lead was everything. The wait for more dancing singles was chromatically. the transition from Chromatica II to 911 is magnificent. You can't hear one without the other. 'enigma' only as an evangelical hymn of glory, of strength, of unity. "Fun Tonight" well love, I feel like walking on the beach with Crush at night. And the unexpected ending of Sine From Above, what was that? Born This Way watch out, we have your successor here. At home, you can feel pain but make her happy, forgetting everything. let's live like this, try to be happy despite everything. THANKS GAGA… Expand

    Gaga never sounds better than she does in Chromatica. The production, the lyrics, the background... And hermano vocals! Sound better and cleaner than never. The transition between interludes and songs are magical and there isn't any skipable song. A masterpiece.

    The best f*cking album from Lady Gaga.
    Since Born This Way, this is the best material that Gaga has given us, the instrumentals and the lyrics are on point, you can feel that you are going to the sky when you are listening to this masterpiece.

    Gaga transports us to the darkest corners of her pop-enthused mind, contrasting them a sonic atmosphere that is light and danceable. This is truly a return to form for Gaga - whilst the country twang of Joanne by no means fell flat, Chromatica feels a distant world to the artist we once knew in the best way possible.

This is truly a return to form for Gaga - whilst the country twang of Joanne by no means fell flat, Chromatica feels a distant world to the artist we once knew in the best way possible. The orchestral interludes provide a cinematic soundscape which prepare the mind for the pop beats that follow. Alice sets the tone for the album and soars to perfect heights for Gaga's openers, ultimately setting the listener up for an out of body experience whilst listening. Even the darker song manage to find themselves accompanied by a fun instrumental, with 911 (perhaps a highlight of the album) detailing her relationship with antipsychotics. But it is the final act of the album that delivers most: Chromatica III sets the listener up for something softer and melodic, only for it to explode into an EDM beat with the one and only Elton John. Sine From Above offers perhaps the best lyrics from Chromatica, with 'before there was love, there was silence' a defining line that left me thinking for hours. Followed by the classic-sounding Babylon which reminds me of Gaga's roots in the music industry - Chromatica becomes a staple in the current pop climate, and will certainly go down in history as the first time humans set foot on another world.… Expand

    O álbum mais coeso da carreira. Tem hits como Alice, Rain On Me, Enigma e Sine From Above, além de bops pra pista de dança como 911, Replay e Babylon. Entrega uma experiência dance house eletrônica bem fresca e futurística com um toque de sofisticação e nostalgia que fecham o conjunto.

    It’s a very well thought out album, composition perfect, as for the voice I have nothing to evaluate, it’s Lady Gaga, her voice is special.
    One of the best albums of her career.

    Across its sixteen tracks, ‘Chromatica’ is entirely over-the-top, but in the best possible way. Every song is an anthem of defiance and empowerment, turned up to 11 and genetically engineered for maximum danceability."

    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.
