First listen: "Just Another Day"

I've seen a million comments slamming this song - what is everyone's problem? It's cute, catchy and I can already see it standing the rest of time! It's cute, up-beat, and again such a cute show-tunes tyle song! It'd work well so on stage. The Joanne ball needs to be theatrical and performed like a musical! Please legend not just a rock 'n' roll show! I like this song!

The Filler is not better than ARTPOP let alone Joanne
also switch TFM and BTW

I mean this was just based of the first listen. It might chance once I listen to Joanne more and digest it fully

Now THIS is high quality

Oooh I like this start of this song! And have heard lots of praise so have high expectations - which are being relatively met. Wasn't 100% if the song was about wine but it is! Haha queen. She better stan for some of New Zealand's best sweet wines, pinot gris really is the tea for a hot summer's day, which is the kinda day you'd wanna listen to this. I like it.

Edit: That messy giggling at the end.

The song has a deep underlying message of trying to find reason in life and death and ultimately celebrating the little things we share with our friends and family while we still have time. "She" in the song is her friend Sonja, who is dying of stage 3 cancer. She and her friends get together, drink and cry.

"Does it all make sense? Make it all make sense..."

This is some of Gaga's best writing. Eerily good.

First listen: "Angel Down [Work Tape]"

Unnecessary - we already have the completed version. Cute I guess.

OMG ITS ON SPOTIFY i'm shook I'm about to press play...

And everyone was worrying about critics. I don't think Joanne will get that much praise, but it should definitely stay green.

Looking forward to getting more listens and getting to know the lyrics.

Anyway, have officially listened to the full album - can't pretend I'm floored or astounded, it's something different Gaga wanted to do. If she returns to dance music this'll be a very interesting time in her career when once again she continued to defy what she "should" in order to be successful and pursued her artistry, and one can't say anything bad about that.

Overall I score it 6/10 - it has some nice highs, none massive enough to truly LIFT the album, but I could see "Dancin' In Circles" being a mild hit with the right push. The songs are all different, but other than "Perfect Illusion" they genuinely share a certain sound, she has a distinctive accent that seems to have popped up / warped recently which is unusual, but it does lend itself to the style.

Anyway, nice album Gaga - you created something unique, and unlike anything anyone expected.

Do we agree?

Interesting lies you tell

[Outlaws]

"Diamond Heart" should be the United States's national anthem, tbh.

[Dark Matter]

This album makes Artpop look like Thriller. I simply can't understand WHY.



When your album draws inspiration from Jessica Simpson, you know you're creatively exhausted.

Woo these guitars are so crisp. Suddenly I love John Wayne all over again

DIC now

A-YO got added to the New Music Friday playlist on Spotify.
