Ok just finished my first listen, this album has SLAYED me, much more than i anticipated. Imo it is her most heartfelt and authentic album we have ever got from her, much more than her previous ones whilst still serving bops that are some of her best. It is up there with BTW but with less crazy.
Highlights of the album:
Diamond Heart : 10/10 (a BOP to the highest degree
)
A-Yo: 8/10 (Should be a single at some point)
Joanne: 10/10 (Incredible
)
John Wayne :10/10 (
)
Dancing in circles : 10/10 (She DID that
)
PI : 7/10
MR : 7/10
Sinners Prayer : 6/10
Come to Mama : 10/10 (Christmas ANTHEM, very catchy and enjoyable)
Hey Girl : 6/10
Angel Down : 10/10 (her most emotional song ever
)
Overall an EXCELLENT album. Much better than i thought i would like it considering i was dragging it based on the snippets. She is on another level to the other girls. The album has so much feeling in it. Slay me queen
Also, I found Come to Mama to be very cheesy and almost cringeworthy for some reason. Doesn't have the impact of Born This Way at all.
