    É um dos álbuns mais íntimos e constantes da Gaga, as músicas conseguem te trazer pro lado dela, te acalmar e ao mesmo tempo te fazer gritar e pular com as músicas.

    Gaga strips away her previous sound and style, resulting in a bland collection of "soulful" songs that painfully bleed together. The collaboration with Florence, "Hey Ma", is a boring affair.

    Lady Gaga is an artist who can do, literally, anything. She's been into synth-pop-dance music, jazz, rock, nice ballads and I could continue with the list. Even if she showed us she can do whatever she wants and we've heard her sing anything possible, I feel Joanne as something I've never heard before from her. Exceptional album, exceptional music.

    This is probably her worst album.
    The only song I enjoyed was Joanne (the piano version), after that a terrible lead single and bland, mediocre songs after.
    Country isn’t her thing at all, she should go back to Born This Way kind of pop

    Quando Perfect Illusion foi lançada como single EU me animei muito pra esse álbum. Mas as músicas seguintes me deixaram com a vontade de ver mais esse lado rock de Lady Gaga...

    Grab your headphones, go for a walk and listen to this album. It already feels timeless because of how human and heartwarming it is.

    Um álbum intimista e familiar. Excelente para o passeio em outros gêneros durante a carreira.

    an overrated album by an overrated delusional artist who stands for nothing but for her fame and fortune.

    Lady Gaga switches to country-pop for her fourth studio album 'Joanne'. The main thing that resonates on this album is the songwriting perfection that Gaga provides. Her vocals are also very genuine and sweet to hear even on the stronger produced tracks. The main issue with the album is some production doesn't click and there are a few pacing issues on some songs.

    she bares it all
    she gives it all
    she said it all
    her most personal, vulnerable yet one of the most powerful work to date through the message and the feelings you'll experience from track 1 to the end.

    A very changed Gaga! And I personally admire that. This subtle side of her is really good, and I really wished that she just stayed in this version.

    A beautiful album constructed by miss Gaga. Truly showing of her versatility as an artist. The composition sways through numerous tracks but still has the cohesiveness to make this album. Such a beautiful album with such personal meaning

    En Joanne, Lady Gaga nos da un vistazo a su parte más personal, con letras más maduras que en sus grabaciones anteriores y sonidos que permiten escuchar su voz de forma más natural en lugar de sobreexplotar los beats electro-dance como en sus primeros trabajos.

    Joanne es un Álbum natural y personal en un mar de discos EDM.

    This album contains really heartbroken songs, beautiful ballads. But it needs more dance hits that we love from Gaga. And I am so proud of Gaga, that she has this brave to release album like this. She really likes experiments.

    Lady Gaga vuelve con un album con letras acerca de sis deseos y vida personal,pero para nada se conecta con el público,solo es ella cantandose a sí misma.

    It's hard to imagine that a phenomenal big star became so bad. In the past, she reached the top of pop music world and leaded the trend. But now, she is just so mediocre.

    For me, this is my favorite work in Gaga’s discography. The only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 is the existence of “Dancing In Circles,” which I just don’t like.

The only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 is the existence of “Dancing In Circles,” which I just don’t like. Top Tracks: “Diamond Heart,” “Joanne,” “Perfect Illusion,” “Million Reasons,” “Angel Down,” and “Grigio Girls.” “Diamond Heart” speaks to me because while we aren’t perfect and while we each have our dark moments, what doesn’t change is the strength of our heart. “Joanne” makes me want to cry because we can all relate to someone close to us dying. “Perfect Illusion” is about realizing that what you once thought to be the case really wasn’t. “Million Reasons” is about wanting to go, but also wanting to stay given the right reason in a myriad of situations. “Angel Down” is commentary on gun violence and our generation. “Grigio Girls” is a fun song about friends, but also connects her aunt to one of Gaga’s good friends who has since passed away. Love this album. Expand

    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.
