BlondUnicorn Posted Saturday at 04:59 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:59 PM One of the most striking tracks on "Harlequin" is this rendition of "The Joker" — no, not the Steve Miller Band song, but a showstopping number from the 1964 musical "The Roar of the Greasepaint — The Smell of the Crowd." (It's been covered by quite a few artists over the years, perhaps most memorably the great Shirley Bassey.) Gaga can of course nail a theatrical tune like this in her sleep, but she brings a fresh energy to "The Joker" by giving it a kind of rock operatic arrangement, complete with electric guitar and a punkish growl in her voice. "Perfect Illusion" apologists, our moment has once again arrived.

Archetype Posted Saturday at 05:04 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:04 PM I love that Gaga can just drop jazz projects like this out of love and not give a **** about the fact that no one streams jazz music. Respect 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Jk, but it may not do as bad as we think Then we wake up Spoiler It has to do at least 600M$ to break even, as right now it seems more on track to do anything between 300 to 450M$ let's hope it finds an audience 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromatricon Posted Saturday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:19 PM The Joker really has the potential to go viral on TikTok with JFAD edits. I also see it being used in the same anime edit as Judas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
