I feel like this is really random comparison Harlequin is a companion album for a film with mostly jazz covers while Solar Power is an alt pop album thats entirely new material I just don't think they're comparable

 

i like both projects and love both Lady Gaga and Lorde

Apples and oranges.

 

One is a cover album and the other is an album of original songs. You tried!

Tbh Harlequin, for all its absurdities, is a bit more of an artistic statement and actually comes closer to realizing what it set out to do. Much of Solar Power is cute at best and confused at worst.

So this is what the OGH have come to? Making random comparisons because they know this album's failure says nothing about GlobalGa's status

I was surprised to see the mixed reception for Harlequin... and then I wasn't.
 

Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Sabrina Carpenter avatars and tributes to Timothee Chalamet in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Gaga" — that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Gaga's. "But I know Gaga! Chromatica was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Gaga, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performer.
 

The Gaga of "Harlequin" is Gaga as Gaga is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is.
 

This is the probably purest attempt Gaga has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.

I'm the furthest thing from an OGH.
