I hate the narrative that Gaga “played it safe” after Artpop. Doing a jazz album, country album, reimagining a classic Broadway song on the Oscar stage, starring in a movie directed by an actor in the Hangover movies, these aren’t safe choices. They seem safe after the fact due to their success and her actual talent. 

Joanne is not a country album.

Million Reasons, Sinner’s Prayer, A-YO, and Grigio Girls are country.

Yep, everyone on here was sure ASIB would be a flop, but after 2019 it was a “safe choice” apparently.

A-Yo is not country lol and only Sinner's Prayer and Grigio Girls are semi-country (stylistically and structurally pop songs still). Joanne has way too many other influences on the album to be deemed as entirely "country". Gaga herself said it's essentially a pop album with influences of jazz, folk, americana, country, rock and dance. 

 

There's a difference between an album having minor country influences and an actual country album with no pop structured lyrics and melodies. Country is one of the influences on Joanne but it is still a pop record as Gaga herself says it is

It’s still a largely country inspired album. If Red and Speak Now are categorized as country than Joanne could as well. 

 

There was no faith in this project early on.  

wonder if JFAD will premiere at Cannes instead of Venice this time around 

Is it true godga is coming back in July?

Speak Now is for the most part a full country album and Red still has a considerable amount of country and rock oriented music. Not pop hooks with guitars, but songs that are structurally, lyrically, and melodically another genre. 

 

Joanne has like 3 or 4 songs that feel remotely of another genre. The rest is pop. Pop hooks, pop structures, shiny pop production. ASIB on the other hand has a considerable amount of true Americana music. And some of the best of the last few years

I remember back on GD pre-season there was a user who said that it could pop up at the Globes if it surprised and they got scalped. 

 

The online buzz for ASIB only started to shift when the release date changed to October and word spread that the studio was confident in it.

I don't deny the country influences on Joanne but I feel like its more of a mixed bag type of album with many other influences. Perfect Illusion, Come To Mama, Angel Down, DIC, A-Yo, Just Another Day, Hey Girl, Diamond Heart and John Wayne are all very different from the more country influenced songs like Sinner's Prayer and Grigio Girls. It shows how versatile Gaga is as an artist.

Even when the release date switched I remember meltdowns too. 

I think I'd be here for some Gaga x Watt, he's worked on a good amount of bops and seems to be relatively versatile. (Though I fear his best work may have been like 5-6 years ago at this point. )

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gaga was going to record her version of this song for the Joanne album but they never got around to it. I'd love to hear her on something like this

I wish critics at the time gave Gaga more leeway with Joanne. As much as people on ATRL specifically seem to trash it, I’ve heard a lot of the GP defend it, and Gaga at least tried something different for herself after ARTPOP’s mediocre reception. 

The joanne era was cultural appropriation. She dropped that cowboy hat faster than she picked it up

By the date, I think Venice is more possible than Cannes.

Venice, considering it's release date.

She’ll announce Chromatica Ball: Live From Los Angeles in July.

She lost a vast amount of fans from BTW onwards but gained older people respecting and liking her. I'm sure the original execution with Chromatica would've tried to get those people back and get in some younger people with the collabs exposure. So Joanne will be more carried in that regard vs. something like ARTPOP which skews to fans/younger people

Id like to see how she is positioned next era - ultimately you aim at a certain audience with every project, if its real quality it will spread cross-generation and demographics.
