    "Joanne" proves how talented Lady Gaga is, a real musician from New York who has a lot of habilites with writing, producing and singing. This album shows that she can do whatever she wants to do musically, from pop to jazz, from folk to rock, from EDM to country, it is a great experience to her old fans and to her new fans too!

    Artists like her are so rare, it is hard to find someone who has such a huge passion for music and she has it. Her voice is great, her lyrics is on point, her perspective of the world is inspiring and emotional. Certainly Joanne is one of the greatest album of 2016. Congrats Gaga, you did a great job!

    Best songs of the album are: Diamond Heart, John Wayne, Joanne, Sinner´s Prayer and Angel Down    … Expand

    This is the best album of Lady Gaga. Every song since Diamond Heart till Angel Down is perfect. It has a lot of production and a big powerful voice. I can dance, I can sing, I can jump, I can do everything while I'm listening Joanne cause Joanne is MUSIC. It's not a single album, it's a life, it's a dream, it's a miracle.

    Such a great album, one of the best of her career. In this record she show us more than ever her vocal talent and power and her ability to sing various genres, touching our souls, making us cry and also sing and dance like there's no tomorrow. Just an incredible production and voice with no filters. Congrats Gaga

    Best moments, "Dancin' In Circles", "John Wayne", "Come To Mama" and "Diamond Heart".
    A little of nostalgia in songs like "Just Another Day" and a touch of 'Red and Blue' and 'The Fame'.
    Shocking moments like "Sinner's Prayers", I think is the most different song in the whole album. Emotional moments like "Grigio Girls", "Joanne" and specially "Million Reasons". A brushstroke of 'Born    Best moments, "Dancin' In Circles", "John Wayne", "Come To Mama" and "Diamond Heart".

    I love this album in so many ways. It's an honest venture lyrically and musically, spanning country, rock, disco, indie, funk, and at one point a hint of regetone. I honestly think there are so many other songs on here that she could have released other than Perfect Illusion as a first single (not that it's a bad song, but it's not one of the strongest on the album by any means). Songs like Joanne and Angel Down show a sense of vulnerability and grounds her (much like prior ballads Speechless and Dope had), while you get the strength and rock & roll star power from songs like A-YO and John Wayne. Her duet with Florence Welch strikes a down tempo funk that you don't really get a lot now adays (it easily sounds like something Prince would have produced). Not this this album doesn't have it's flaws, but they're more endearing than detrimental to this album as a whole.

    Ultimately if you are a fan of hers prior to this (or even if not) this album is worth a listen. It won't be for everyone, but if there's one thing you can get form listening to this album, it's respect for this artist. More than anything, it's a look past the looks and bombast of her prior years in order to see there is truly more than the fame and costumes.    … Expand

With album highlights 'A-YO', 'John Wayne', 'Million Reasons', and 'Come to Mama', Gaga hits another album show a la Born This Way, making an Album of the Year Grammy nomination possible. Her vocals in 'Joanne' are the best yet; the album's been on repeat for days. It's a masterpiece.

It's so unlike her previous works that it stands out as an honest perspective of the unique mind of the woman who once shocked the world by spectacle and has returned to her true craft, music.

    I'm thankful for this album. I've been always begging for some kind of acoustic album and this is the first time she gave us something like that. Angel Down is such a timeless song, amazing. Dancin' in Circles and Diamond Heart are the highlights of a record that will change the norms for pop music.

    The most intimate album of her, it feels like you're meeting the real and vulnerable Stefani. It has a good dose of emotions (see Joanne, Million Reasons, Angel Down), energy (A-YO, Perfect Illusion, John Wayne), poppiness (Diamond Heart, Dancin' In Circles) and other original moments (Hey Girl, Sinner's Prayer, Come To Mama). It can grant a cathartic experience, if you let it pour into your soul.

While Beyoncé is always aiming for supernatural perfection, in constant attemps to look more than human, Gaga, as of recently, is more interested in showing her vulnerability, her contradiction, her humanity. Although Joanne, as everything Gaga does, is not perfect, it is ok because that is never her intention. More than perfect, Joanne is, like Gaga herself, human. And, to me, that is way better e more relatable.

    That aside, Joanne has some of Gagas most brilliant moments. Diamond Heart has Bad Romance's epicness and brilliant production, but with a rock twist. And Ay-o is Mark Ronson's version Uptown Funk for Gaga, we'll be stuck with that one for while, I foresee.    … Expand

Joanne tells the story of a young New York girl whose happiness, sadness, tragic life experiences, and motivations are so relatable and carried through her music. This album is an ode to her later aunt, Joanne, whom Gaga believes would've wanted to spread messages of love, compassion, and self-care to the world if she were to be alive today. She does all that with this album and still manages to keep every song memorable, catchy, and plain gorgeous. I will for sure purchase a vinyl copy once it's available for those days when I want to relax and sing-along with my close friends. This is Gaga like we've never seen or heard her before, with no hard to understand lyrics or outfits. It's Gaga wanting to reflect her desired world in her music: easy, loving, and deep. I have been her fan since The Fame and I can tell you that it's refreshing to see an artist be capable of successfully reinventing herself and her sound. This album does not resemble her previous hits like Just Dance and Poker Face, but it does remind me of her less popular ballads. This is music that the world needs right now and will soon come to appreciate. Tracks on this album will make you smile, cry, and think deep about what our relationships with others and ourselves mean.… Expand

Her past albums exposed certain sides of her through fantasy/conceptual standpoints. With 'Joanne' it's 100% her without any overarching concept. This album is about healing and turning negative feelings into positive ones. She's going to be remembered for always switching it up and never catering to the radio or music machine.

    Anyone who says they miss 'the old Gaga' doesn't realize that this IS the old Gaga. Bonus track 'Just Another Day' sounds exactly like the material she recorded from 2006-2008. She's not a one trick pony.

    Don't box her in. If you want disco/electronic Gaga—go listen to one of the past FOUR albums. She's done plenty of that. And I still love it. But allow her to grow and realize this really IS her. This album is still full of her absurdities and quirks. It's just more understated and blended through out.

    Gaga will be around for a long time and will always 'take you there'. People need to admit that not many contemporaries can switch it up as effortlessly as her. She's a musician who truly knows songwriting and can play instruments, produce, and perform incredibly well live.

    If this album doesn't prove to naysayers she's talented, I don't think anything will. Some people will always find something to hate on. But hating on Gaga is so tiresome and uninteresting at this point.

    The bigger the star, the bigger the target.

Creatively, Joanne’s risks pay off spectacularly.

    Joanne’s biggest surprise is “Come to Mama,” a deliriously fun, cheeky take on the Can’t We All Just Get Along and Pray for World Peace anthem that has been falling in and out of favor since the ’60s. However "John Wayne" it is a great song too, along with "Diamond Heart" and "Angel Down".

    With this album she once again has proven how talented she is, this album has genre diversity and it is a very personal one. With each album she's released, she keeps growing and getting better. Her vocals on this album are amazing, and it is an incredible work, very fresh.

    Her best album. Little to no auto-tune. Raw, gritty, powerful and emotional vocals. A-list collaborators: Ronson, Bloodpop, Kevin Parker, Florence Welch, Beck, Father John Misty, Hillary Lindsey. The songs will tug at your emotions because the lyrics are so personal and moving ... this is not your generic pop album. Must Listen. Must buy.

    Flawed though it is, this brave and canny album hits the reset button and buys her a future. [Jan 2017, p.105]

    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.
