    It sounds like old Gaga I was missing so much. Perfect songs to dancing, crying and just thinking about life. Queen is back!

    For me, Chromatica is ARTPOP without its mask. From the start of her career, Gaga has assumed personas to shape shift and never be perceived as one thing. From the construct of fame with her first two albums, to BTW, to ARTPOP’s reverse-warholian theming, to admittedly trying to “heal” her father with Joanne. Now, in Chromatica, she dances her way through all of her own pain. The spotlightFor me, Chromatica is ARTPOP without its mask. From the start of her career, Gaga has assumed personas to shape shift and never be perceived as one thing. From the construct of fame with her first two albums, to BTW, to ARTPOP’s reverse-warholian theming, to admittedly trying to “heal” her father with Joanne. Now, in Chromatica, she dances her way through all of her own pain. The spotlight turns to her. And in turn relates each of us. This is Lady Gaga’s most personal album to date, with its core in her pop roots, exemplifying her vocal ability, stylistic agility, artistic vision and everything that makes her who we love. It’s her in a prime form. Chromatica is not only her most cohesive piece of work, but a strong contender for the best ever Lady Gaga album, and time will tell how this stands in her discography. Chromatica earns 10/10.… Expand

    Como fan de Lady Gaga hace muchos años y amante de toda la música pop considero que su nuevo álbum "Chromatica" es un excelente trabajo, sin mencionar las colaboraciones con Ariana Grande y BLACKPINK, simplemente icónico.

    PURE POP PERFECTION. Gaga is more invested than ever, serving a major experience; something even bigger than an album. The interludes are perfect, so are the transitions and the songs.

Thank you Gaga for this gem, so well-produced and precious knowing the heart and soul you put into it. Totally recommend it. Gaga the Chameleon never disappoints and she's back to her roots !… Expand

    Uma mistura de todos os álbuns da Gaga com uma forte influência na música dos anos 90. Repleto de farofa, hinos e vocais.
    Uma música complementa a outra e da uma sensação de continuidade maravilhosa no álbum.
    Álbum do Ano mores ♥️⚔️

    Es el mejor álbum de Gaga desde hace un buen par de años. Cada canción vuela tu mente de una manera única, y que no estabas esperando. Desde Chromatica I hasta Babylon sentía que estaba en una especie de fantasía donde todo era perfecto.

    It is one of the most incredible things that Gaga have for us.
    I think every song is a world inside a biggest world, the dance sounds are perfectly thought to make us dance.

    Esto es un gran regreso para Lady Gaga, el album es una locura, la transición de CHROMATICA (l, ll, lll) en cada parte es algo glorioso, sobre todo la transición con "911" voz, letra y producción es tan perfecta, un 10/10.

    Some of the best we have ever heard from the lady herself. Incredible production and execution on every level of the album's content.

This album feels as personal and intimate as Joanne, with the triumph and energy of Born This Way. On second that I actually would rather not compare this to other albums because it is so sonic, I feel this is her most refined. Thank you Lady Gaga and to her Haus.… Expand

    I love it! It is absolutely the sound that conquered all of her fans back in 2009. Love the concept, the beats, the vocals... pure talent. The only thing I wish she’d done is a ballad.

    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.
