When it came to recording Joanne, however, Gaga didn't give much thought to genre. The album veers from the dance-rock of lead single "Perfect Illusion" to the introspective country songwriting of the title track.
"I have a general and deep respect for all country musicians, but I myself am not a country musician. I'm just a musician period," she says. "I love all different kinds of music and this is just what I wrote."
"Everyone thinks of rock & roll and country in different ways," Gaga tells Rolling Stone. "Rock & roll, country and blues – they all have babies. So I love Johnny Cash, I love Neil Young, I love Garth Brooks."
While the Cash name is on the tip of most artists' tongues when asked to list their country influences, Brooks seems like a bit of a wild card, until you consider the pop element of his music. For Gaga, the affinity for Brooks stems from her childhood.
You can have a wide range of influences if you grow up listening to a wide variety of artists instead of focusing almost entirely on one or two artists like most of ATRL does. So I don't see a problem with this.
I have over 400 artists on my phone why is it always surprising when she (a 30 year old woman) likes another artist that we arent huge fans of?
