    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's an incredible album, their songs are emotional, like Joanne, Million Reasons, it feels like a little bit Born This Way lyrics, but in a different way, obviously a little "country" way, but it's a really good album, maybe her best album in a years, very emotional, I really love it! Beautiful Gaga! That's all girl!… Expand

Su trabajo mas personal, y si, quizas no tenga los ritmos cañeros de The Fame, el barroquismo de The Fame Monster, la critica socias de Born This Way, o los estribillos de Artpop, pero el disco tiene un mensaje familiar y humanitario, quizas estemos ante el mejor disco de Gaga… Expand

    It's a huge change, she took all those old sounds and changed into something new and fresh. She took a big risk, but she conquered it with an interesting new record: Joanne.

    This album is inspiring and transcends time. Joanne and Come To Mama are standouts, as well as Diamond Heart. But, the whole album is something special.

    Amazing album, amazing lyrics and melodies. The only problem is that she don't know how to pick singles, she picked Perfect Illusion, instead of Hey Girl or Dancin' in Circles. She did it like she did in 2013 with Applause as single.

    Amazing album. Amazing sounds. Amazing lyrics. A classic already. She reinvents herself once again and in a good way. Good for her! The quality in this album is excellent!

    People are so used to the crappy electronic music that is on top of the charts that it seems they're unable anymore to apreciate a beautiful artwork like Joanne. The album is just amazing.

    Joanne is clearly Gaga's most personal album, popping aside the synthetic personas for something more honest and, well, human. Mother Monster may be retired for now, but Lady Gaga's sheer musical brilliance still shines through,with its "flaws and all"—was a correct musical step for Gaga, which he believed would make "fans and observers once again rethink what they know about the daring diva

    This album it's amazing, her voice is clear and lyrics are amazing also, you can see how much Lady Gaga has grow the past few years, this album shows her true self, and there's nothing better than that.
    You can feel every song on this album has a different feeling, it can makes you feel happy/sad/emotional at the same which is great! GO GAGA

    Simples, maravilhoso, emocionante. Incrível trabalho de Lady Gaga. Em Joanne, podemos notar a capacidade de um artista ter várias faces dentro de uma carreira, dentro até mesmo de um álbum.

    "Joanne" is perhaps the best album of Lady Gaga since Born This Way in 2011. Takes us on a journey from the classic American adrenaline in "Diamond heart" to the nostalgia of the physical loss of a loved one in "Joanne", or a manifesto and social criticism with songs like the beautiful and darkness "Angel down". Definitely one of the best works of the year that is worth listening to more"Joanne" is perhaps the best album of Lady Gaga since Born This Way in 2011.

    The album is great, I love it, I get to the bottom of my heart. My favorite song is hey girl. Lady Gaga knows how to get to the bottom of the pedal, she is the queen of pop today, is the only artist to risk and make it great.

    This raw vocals are a new era in the artistry career of Lady Gaga, even the lyrics sound a little bit less "Gaga". It's a weird album but in a good way.

    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.
