    In Joanne, Gaga embarks on a new sound, we could say: in a mixture of genres that influenced his childhood in the main, the Country Music. The magic of it is in fact the essence of all, is an autobiographical album for the most part and that she do this with his raw voice in almost every song, using his biggest influence, mixing raw art itself in the visual era and all human contact thatIn Joanne, Gaga embarks on a new sound, we could say: in a mixture of genres that influenced his childhood in the main, the Country Music. The magic of it is in fact the essence of all, is an autobiographical album for the most part and that she do this with his raw voice in almost every song, using his biggest influence, mixing raw art itself in the visual era and all human contact that she is having with fans this year, makes this album an magnificent thing, very emotional and touching. Gaga deconstructs the taboos was created to the public by herself, the breaking expectations and is presented as it is: a human being. All of this is encompassed in the name 'Joanne', his middle name and the name of his late aunt. Taking perfect illusion which was perhaps a mistake to be on this album (despite being very good), the whole album sounds like a perfect mix, but not a mixture of Artpop, his latest album, a mix of meaning, traveling without disperse. A true solo album and a real singer singer. Very good. Expand

    Simplesmente uma obra prima. Joanne é um álbum acima do esperado, as letras são incríveis, a melodia encantadora, as faixas não tão longas fazem do álbum viciante. Simplesmente o melhor lançamento de 2016.

    Gaga proves her vocal abilities on catchy AF tunes. Million Reasons is a show stopper and AYo has a retro country rock vibe. While songs range in style, Gaga can sing it all. A true talent that will only improve.

    Gaga's most concise record which she has ever made (However I'm a huge fan of ARTPOP). You can tell she was going to the rough rock, country, stripped down music. It pays off with highlights like Dancin' in Circles, Perfect Illusion, John Wayne and Come to Mama. It's nice to see that she isn't doing what everyone else is doing. Change is good for artists.

    Lança os próximos singles sendo Diamond Heart, John Wayne e Dacin'In Circles e Hey Girl pra encerrar a era.

    It is a multifaceted singer, which broke the POP barrier, found Jazz and now the Country.
    Each song explores her vocal power to the fullest, with few beats, sounds like something unheard of Lady Gaga.
    It is the most spectacular album, innovator and staff of American singer Lady Gaga.

This album is stripped back, raw and showcases Gaga's power house Vocals. This album kindaI would go as far as to say that this might be Lady Gaga's best album to date and BY FAR the best album released so far in 2016. If you want cheap generic bubblegum pop that'll lose it's flavor in 2 weeks then go and buy Britney's latest album "Glory" because you're not gonna get that with this LP. This album is stripped back, raw and showcases Gaga's power house Vocals. This album kinda gives you a vibe of various different genres i.e. Pop, Country, Folk, Funk, DanceHall, Soul. My personal favorite track on the album is "Hey Girl" featuring Florence Welch. I would 100% recommend this album to you. Expand

    A great work executed by a combination of different music producers. This album brings a little bit of country, pop, punk and even the 80's essence, allowing people to experience a different, fresh-side of Gaga, surprising the listeners. The lyrics are simple and yet touches deep into the artists' mind. Definitely worth a listen!

    excellent album
    Undoubtedly one of the best I've heard.
    Gaga, as always exceeding expectations and we are pleased with a twist in its style and personality.
    By far the best.

    Amazing vocals, great lyrics. Diamond Heart is a incredible track, A-YO and DIC are so catchy, Million Reasons very emotive, Angel Down and Joanne are beautifull ballads, and Sinner´s Prayer is my highlight of the record. LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH.

    Sometimes is better be yourself and do what you really whant to doin the start, wiht Joanne Lady Gaga sing not only for her fans, and the critics, she sings for herself, trying to be the singer that she always want to be in the start, songs like Diamond Heart, Sinners Prayer, Joanne, and Come to Mama show her true talent, songs like Dancin in Cirlces, Jhon Wayne and A-YO shows her pop starSometimes is better be yourself and do what you really whant to doin the start, wiht Joanne Lady Gaga sing not only for her fans, and the critics, she sings for herself, trying to be the singer that she always want to be in the start, songs like Diamond Heart, Sinners Prayer, Joanne, and Come to Mama show her true talent, songs like Dancin in Cirlces, Jhon Wayne and A-YO shows her pop star material, songs like Angel Down, Grigio Girls and Hey Girl shows her humanity, this is not the best pop album of Lady Gaga, this is Stefani Germanotta the artist behind the mask Expand

    Lady Gaga said that this one's her most personal album at the date, and that's the reason why is so boring, because her life is so boring, Perfect Ilussion is not the best thing, A-YO is so basic and Million Reasons is the only song on that album that is good, a great ballad... but the entire album is sooo boring, sorry. We need Lady Gaga, no Stefanie.

    One of the best albums of the year, Gaga always reinvents itself and this album has a very different to what he has done before sound, I love it!
    He has that touch of old music and something dark Gaga, is just perfect.

    Really cohesive album. Something that works when listened as an entire album, with all songs together. It's very hard to agree on favourites with friends because it changes day to day. The songs seem to grow differently each time you hear them. Really powerful album, couldn't recommend more! This seems to be Gaga like we have never seen. Don't base this album off what you think you know about her!

    Joanne is easily the most beautiful, raw, meaningful and well put together album of Gaga's career thus far. Although the odds were against her since ARTPOP she has continued to top Jazz charts and produce music with meaning (i.e Till It Happens To You) and has constantly been an activist outside her music career. Joanne starts with Diamond Heart exploring her past as a college drop out,Joanne is easily the most beautiful, raw, meaningful and well put together album of Gaga's career thus far. Although the odds were against her since ARTPOP she has continued to top Jazz charts and produce music with meaning (i.e Till It Happens To You) and has constantly been an activist outside her music career. Joanne starts with Diamond Heart exploring her past as a college drop out, GoGo dancer in NY and her path along the heart break and sexual assault of men during her years from 18-20 before her major break from Just Dance and such. Then we get this total BOP of a song AYO were she and her friends are smoking the haters and doing themselves. But we also get some heartbreak songs Joanne, Million Reasons, Angel Down where her emotions are on her sleeve and she is putting her family, friends and personal life into a golden album. Plus she worked with amazing artists - Brian Newman, Florence Welch, Mark Ronson, Father John Misty, Hillary Lindsey - on an album she truly spoke from the heart and in such a pure vocal way. While people continue to believe she can't sing or that she isn't true to herself, they are so beyond wrong as she may be the most influential artist of our generation and has incredible vocals to slay away with. This album is a combination of soul, pop, rock, country, and dance music you will spin to! Expand

    Vocally powerful album by Gaga. Lyrically, it's her best album tie with Born This Way, with such meaningful songs like Joanne and Angel Down. Still, very moving and catchy songs. A true honest and good job from Gaga and her team!

    Unfortunately, therein lies the biggest problem with Joanne: for every time that Gaga seemingly breaks free of her shackles and embraces something more “real,” she quickly scuttles back into her comfort zone and hides behind glistening production. This probably isn’t quite the sound of the real Stefani Germanotta, but if you squint hard enough there’s a semblance of a real person in amongst the pop haze.

    Joanne is certainly not the all-conquering opus it was intended to be and will prove divisive, but it remains a daring and exciting record, delivered from one of modern pop’s most unique and singular voices.
