Gaga was so brave to ask Florence to feature on this tragedy of a song
She didn't ask her to feature on it, they wrote it together cause you know Gaga and Florence aren't artsits who just hop on features without any contribution
I don't know what it is about the vocal production of this album, but it definitely ruined a majority of it's tracks, especially Joanne, Diamond Heart, Perfect Illusion and Sinner's Prayer.

I was a hater during ARTPOP (and half of BTW), but this album is genuine for the most part so I can really appreciate it.
Track by track review:
1. Diamond Heart: Such a great opening track, it's maybe my favorite on the whole album. 10/10
2. A-yo: This one does not connect with me, but it's catchy at least. 6/10
3. Joanne: Cute song, I'd love better lyrics tho. 7/10
4. John Wayne: Moodyand funny. 8/10
5. Dancin' In Circles: I can't see what's so great about this one, SHICD is miles better. 6/10
6. Perfect Illusion: It fits the album very well, and makes it feel less repetitive. 7/10
7. Million Reasons:Nice ballad. 7/10
8. Sinner's Prayer: I don't know why but I love this song, if only the second verse were better (not so weird). 8/10
9. Come To Mama: It runs in the verge of being cheesy, but it's catchy and she doesn't seem to take herself seriously. 8/10
10. Hey Girl: The only bad song here. It's really boring and uninspired. 5/10
11. Angel Down: Nice ballad. 7/10
Overall, it is a good album, much better than ARTPOP and more cohesive than BTW. It's also very refreshing to see someone so mainstream making a homage to 70's pop/rock albums (Elton John and John Lennon can be heard through the whole album).
