    I'm shook. I can't believe it's a Poker Face singer. It's much more. This album is the pure work with raw voices. So different from what you hear everyday playing on the radio the same songs with no sense. This is way beyond everything I've heard before. Congrats! 10/10

    At first, before the release, I was disappointed with Gaga, because all I wanted was a Pop record and not an indie record, but at the first listen, i completely fell in love with the album, the lyrics, instrumentals and the vocals are amazing!!!

    Gaga really showed her talent as a lyricist in this record, more than in any other of her previous ones in my opinion. The songs also sound raw, in a sense where you can really hear her voice.

    Precioso album, para mi parecer uno de los mejores en toda su carrera. Tiene baladas preciosas como Million Reasons o Joanne donde canta con una voz maravillosa. Dncing in Circles, Sinners Prayer o Diamon Heart son una gozada de escuchar y otras como Hey Girl o Just another Day te hacen sacar una sonrisa.

    Lady Gaga gives us her most personal album to date, you can hear and feel how she pour her heart out in every song. A record made for her family and her most loyal fans, a record made to reconcile with herself and with her past, leaving aside the charts, the extravagant looks and anything that might leave in the background to what really matters, MUSIC.

    To really enjoy this album, you must forget everything you thought you knew about Lady Gaga, open your mind and be aware that she is not simply a popstar, because such a great in all levels reinvention is only possible if you are what Lady Gaga is, a real MUSICIAN.

    The best: Diamond heart, A-YO, Dancin' in circles, Million reasons, Angel down.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though we can see Lady Gaga's true face, "Joanne" fails to deliver. There are 4-5 songs that are upbeat and "Gaga" style, but the rest is just a banch of boring ballads. Her vocals shine in this record (and that's why I gave 6/10 and not 4/10), but it's not enough. I like to see her evolve, but I'd like her to keep the upbeat and fun characteristics that made her famous.… Expand

    Joanne may not be the best Lady Gaga record, but something about it makes it feel and sound so unique.

It's very apparent that Gaga wanted to make the music she genuinely felt like creating. The tracks are personal and authentic. Songs like 'John Wayne' and 'A-YO' and lead-single 'Perfect Illusion' make me want to act like a crazy person under the influence, while others like 'Million Reasons' (which is easily the best song on the album) and 'Angel Down' are very emotionally charged. Another highlight is 'Dancin' in Circles', which is as weird as it is catchy. On the other hand, there are songs that fall short, like 'Hey Girl' (I honestly expected more from the incredible collaboration is that Gaga and Florence) and 'Sinner's Prayer' which sounds monotonous and never quite explods.
    All in all, the record is solid and it's quite a good addition to Lady Gaga's catalog.    … Expand

    Lady Gaga reinvent her music yet again as she takes on a country-pop-rock-esque sound on 'Joanne'. 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.

    Amazing. A true masterpiece. Stripped of the synths, her voice rises on the pure talent of her lyrical and musical talent. 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.

    While Lady Gaga has managed to overcome But In This Is A decline Having to seek a gender Another para to call a little attention from the media and say that there was a great invention by her. Choose a producer Mark Ronson As was the worst mistake he has taken in his career and even as their singles that have come out lately.

    not good.No wonder everyone calls Gaga "Lady Reductive" .. her new album is a reductive mess .. Now Reductive is coping Madonna's "music" era, but songs on the album are bad versions of PINK, AVRIL, MILEY CYRUS songs. Lady Reductive is a tribute artist and she should stick with that, bc she just doesn't know how to make good lyrics, songs and music. Go away Lady, go away Reductive

    Lady Gaga pushed the boundaries of pop music once again with her new album, Joanne. Redefining the industry one hit song at a time. A great example of this is the song Dancin' In Circles. A very unique sound, even for the queen of unique. For anyone who thought Gaga was "over" after ARTPOP and C2C, think again!

    This album is amazing. Very unique and ahead of its time, unlike the generic music on the radio right now. What many people need to realize is that gaga is evolving as an artist; and this is her being her, not being controlled by a record label, or by the mass media. True music and true talent always reigns. It's a shame people don't realize what she has done, and continues to do for pop music.

At least that tends to be the sentiment that surrounds each new Gaga release. However, that somewhat implies that at some point (whether it was previously, or whether that be now) Gaga is “inauthentic”. It’s quite obvious that Gaga’s career is indebted to a pastiche of pop cultural vomit, drenched in copious amounts of artifice and layers of spectacle. ARTPOP was very much an illustration of this. Despite the undeserving critical lambast of Joanne’s predecessor I still stand by ARTPOP as Gaga at her most experimental, wild, well produced, textured, and fun.
    In turn this seemingly turned down aesthetic seems to be centering the discussion. To say Joanne is stripped of any aesthetic curation and absent of the gaudy shtick that caked Gaga’s previous efforts is very misleading. Just as its misleading to label this album as “stripped down”.
    The music on Joanne is often tightly layered, fleshy, and even texturally enhanced. Layers of guitars and fuzz dance between each other often on a lot of cuts, underscored often by warble-y synths, plucked bass, and hodgepodged analogue and synthetic beats. Joanne has been criticized for lack of hooks which I can understand. Here it’s not so much the lyrical content that reaches out, and the melodies are less lurching perhaps then on previous Gaga outings, but Joanne isn’t a deal in hooks so much as it is in groove.
    The slink of country stomp “Sinner’s Prayer” and fuzz rock of “John Wayne” have a musical swagger (in the bass particular) that propels the music in a way Gaga hasn’t explored. The 70s piano rock of “Come to Mama”, and 80s electro funk of Florence Welch duet “Hey Girl” are eras from which Gaga has borrowed before, but here their stride is felt right into the bones of the rhythm. The undercurrent of Elton John and Prince are instantly felt upon the first listen of these tracks. This might be aided by vintage fetishist Mark Ronson’s executive co-production. Either way Joanne finds itself sonically resembling a lot of Gaga’s influences in way that they haven’t ever before, while still incorporating a palette of contemporary sounds to keep things somewhat current.
    Gaga doesn’t feel uncomfortable adopting country on aforementioned highlight “Sinner’s Prayer” (who’s sinister guitar lead and stomping drum stroll are immeasurably pleasurable), and piano ballad “Million Reasons”. Fans turned off by these inclusions must’ve forgotten about the string of slight country/piano rock ballads hidden on each of her albums prior (i.e “Speechless”, “You + I”, “Gypsy” etc). Her hearty vibrato and thick lower register never feel out of place bellowing on these country tinged tracks just as they do affectedly breathy over electronic beats and synths.
    Right from the get go Joanne delivers us the girl who grew up on Bruce Springsteen with the bright and leaping rock stomp “Diamond Heart”. “Ayo” combines Motown brass funk with the glitched vocal sampled beats and distorted groove also found on “John Wayne”, in which she pulls of danceable numbers with fuzzy guitars instead of glittery synthesizers.
    The title tack, a beautifully guitar plucked, pseudo folk song, sees Gaga delve into the hurt of her family’s loss of the title’s namesake. Somewhat uplifted with underlying sadness Gaga finds a way to be emotionally resonant in a way she never achieved before.
    The only songs that I really feel leave something to be desired are the Beck assisted, reggae tinged “Dancing in Circles”, and the 80s glam rock of lead single “Perfect Illusion” (a curious pick indeed). The former has been aptly dubbed No Doubt b-roll, with a chorus that would feel at home in the hands of Lana Del Rey. As for “Perfect Illusion”, the somewhat underwritten lyrics (particularly towards the end) divulge in cringe. And despite contribution from Kevin Parker of Tame Impala the song always fizzles at the thought of what it could be.
    The deluxe edition tracks fare better, with the country campfire callout of “Girgio Girls” and the bopping 70s tread of “Just Another Day” following in the footsteps of previous tracks.
    Angel down ends the album on a fine note. Somber and theatrical, Gaga croons over atmospheric strings and synth harps with a subtlety political ally cry over Black Lives Matter and the death of Trayvon Martin.
    Ever since her intense breakthrough, ubiquity, and constant pop cultural dominance, a new Gaga release always comes with its baggage. And as with ARTPOP, Joanne is what is is and isn’t what it isn’t. However, it finds Gaga in a space where she’s exploring a facet of her musical muses that have never rung so resonantly before as they do now.    … Expand

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

    Joanne is her most sensitive and personal album so far, all the songs are really deep and full of passion. She embrace the tragedy family and built something new, beautiful, a record full of diferent feelings.

    Her best work in terms of writing, deeply emotional. POP Music to its bones, I would dare to say this is her best work so far.
    This album leads you in a journey from dance and pop music to emotional ballads. It does have it all.

    The thing that I love most about Joanne is that it puts an emphasis on the music instead of the theatrics. Don't get me wrong, I think Gaga's entire career has been a breath of fresh air in pop music, but sometimes her pure music chops get squandered behind the fanfare.

It seems odd to a hasbeen like me to not just remain stagnant or retroactive, but perhaps this truly is the way forward. I find it both captivating and enraging that in this record, Gaga has produced more authenticity and talent than I've managed in 35 years of stealing writing credits and lip-syncing! The infectious A-YO and the saucy Dancin' In Circles are the ultimate toppers on Joanne, and serve to remind even someone as out-of-touch as me that you're all you need and more. I hope to infer she ripped off something I ripped off in the 80s for my upcoming tour for the sake of tickets and attention, and to throw my stans a bone (in place of worthwhile content). In summary, Joanne feels like the record it took Gaga failing to make, and its rawness elevates it above her previous work and my last 6 albums combined. She's smokin' us all.… Expand

    Absolute masterpiece. This is her best work to date and I hope the general public give this album a chance, it's touching, fun, sad, happy, a huge mix of emotions, and her vocals deliver on all of the songs, Come To Mama is my favorite song off the album I hope it ends up being a single. This is an album for life. Well done Gaga.

    This is such a real album. Real vocals, instruments, and a blending of so many styles. It's personal, and full of surprises. The songs Joanne and Angel Down are incredibly touching and emotional; where as, A-YO, Diamond Heart, and Dancing in Circles will have you grooving. There is something for every music listener on this Album, but listen to it from start to end so you can truly hearThis is such a real album.

    Gaga once again delivers! Joanne adds a whole new meaning to the music of 2016, when musician have forgotten what music is made of and what is it supposed to say. Deep and enjoyable. Favorites: Diamond Heart, Dancin' In Circles, Perfect Illusion, Come To Mama, Angel Down, Just Another Day. The only part of the album that didn't meet my expectations was the collaboration with FlorenceGaga once again delivers!

    Es un excelente trabajo con mucha dedicación y esfuerzo de su parte, con música y productores de calidad que se arriesgaron a traer cosas nuevas como una verdadera artista debe hacer, innovarse y hacer nuevos trabajos, experiencias y demás. No depende del el ámbito comercial, la música habla por si sola para verdaderos oyentes que sepan apreciar cada tono y letra de cada cancion

    No wonder everyone calls Gaga "Lady Reductive" .. her new album is a reductive mess .. Now Reductive is coping Madonna's "music" era, but songs on the album are bad versions of PINK, AVRIL, MILEY CYRUS songs. Lady Reductive is a tribute artist and she should stick with that, bc she just doesn't know how to make good lyrics, songs and music. Go away Lady, go away Reductive

    Wow, I had high expectations for this album, but literally what a let down.
    she went from such amazing performances on tv with amazing vocals to this mess.
    dancing in circles and angel down are the only reason I like this album.

    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.
