    Uno dei migliori album del 2016. Lady Gaga ha dimostrato di poter andare oltre l'apparenza producendo questo vocal album ricco di tracce potenti dallo stampo country.

    Haters can say what they want, this album is full of bangers and ballads that are genuine and heartfelt. In my opinion as a long term gaga fan from before her first album even came out, this is her best work since The Fame Monster.
    Maybe it's just me, but it's nice to hear her music grow past pop and onto something more substantial and yet still catchy.

    Um álbum coeso, bem escrito e bem produzido. Lady Gaga consegue mais uma vez se reinventar como artista. Um ótimo álbum para começar um novo momento na carreira.

    This album is so beautiful and one thing I love about it is that it is completely different then all of her other ones. It's super personal and she really poured her heart out for it. Thanks Gaga

    Wow. This album shows Gaga in her best. Maybe the best of her career. It shows an evolution of the artist after the not-good-enough ARTPOP. We need more albuns like that. Best tracks: Diamond Heart and Joanne.

    Melhor álbum lancado neste ano e talvez o melhor da carreira. Bem orgânico, destaque para a voz da cantora que está maravilhosa e para a composição da letra, o conjunto, que está maravilhoso.

So, i decided to research on her and i found that her has a jazz album glorious with legend Tony Bennett. Another surprise! So, i decided to wait for the release this, Joanne. And... DAMN!!! I'm surprised again. You have a powerful voice Lady Gaga. And this album is uncooked and so genuine. Congrats! You won a new fan :)… Expand

    First I must say that I have been a gaga fan for years now. I've followed her no matter what - appreciating and embracing her out of this world fashion and sound. I really became a fan after I realized holy sh*% this girl has real TALENT. It's so rare to find a mega pop star that has the whole package, but Gaga is it.

This isn't a "new" or "stripped down" version of Gaga - this is who she is and has always been. Through the album you get to hear her raw vocals and meaningful lyrics that will make you truly appreciate her natural talent. The themes throughout focus on societal and global issues as well as heartbreak and healing. I am so thankful that Gaga decided to share this part of her with the world and I hope that everyone can come together in appreciating it.… Expand

    "Joanne" is her best album since "The Fame Monster". Lady Gaga did a powerful album, made for all the people who like all the gender, have rock, country, dance, ballad, and a lot pop music, "Joanne" deserves the best, because Gaga is the best
    this is the album of the year, wonderful, Gaga vocal quality is excellent.
    He deserves all the credit in the world

    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.
