    From “The Fame” to “Artpop”, Lady Gaga’s lane was pioneered and had a clear vision. “Chromatica” seemed to stray from her traditional trailblazing sound as did “Joanne”. “Chromatica” delivered a club sound but with confusing transitions. Chromatica 1, 2, & 3 offered an acoustic masterpiece that dropped you into the album in a cinematic fashion. Then the meat of the album... the music.From “The Fame” to “Artpop”, Lady Gaga’s lane was pioneered and had a clear vision. “Chromatica” seemed to stray from her traditional trailblazing sound as did “Joanne”. “Chromatica” delivered a club sound but with confusing transitions. Chromatica 1, 2, & 3 offered an acoustic masterpiece that dropped you into the album in a cinematic fashion. Then the meat of the album... the music. Song after song of over produced vocals, misplaced transitions, and lyrics that rang through my ears like a crying toddler (Fun Tonight). “Chromatica” delivers a simple pop album that holds back innovation.… Expand

    This is Gaga at her most personal, as she explores her inner demons, her tragedies, and her trauma. The contrasting dance-pop sound that can be heard from start to finish shows Gaga trying to push through her pain in a cathartic and empowered way. The album is by far her most cohesive project and ranks among the best work in her career.

    Achei o álbum coeso, com uma batida que ao mesmo tempo q é moderna, me remete ao estilo dos 80" entre outros mais ou menos desta época.
    Letras interessantes, com uma riqueza de instrumentos e batidas e com uma baita voz, trazendo o de melhor do pop.
    Superou minhas expectativas!

    Lady Gaga es la artista más completa de la industria pop, es una gran cantante, y este album, es lo mejor que ha realizado Gaga en toda su carrera músical.
    Excelentes canciones, excelentes notas musicales y considero arte al álbum.

    Gaga vuelve a llevarnos a la pista de baile y nos traslada a otro planeta, casualmente en este momento en el que la tierra se volvió inevitable. Sin una balada, sin ninguna decisión desacertada y repleto de imágenes de la escena musical de los años 90. Una revancha para Artpop, un nuevo capítulo de Born This Way.

    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.
