  • Lady Gaga

    From Erich B. to All on Mon Aug 31 08:52:50 2020
    The new Lady Gaga album, Chromatics which came out in 2020 was pretty good. One of her better releases in a while. She said she went back to her old formula again.

    If you’re into pop music, I recommend Lady Gaga’s latest album, “Chromatica”. She went back to her old formula on this one and it’s excellent. I give it 5 stars out of 5.

    I'm not into club/pop/dance music myself (anymore). [I *did*
    enjoy the odd beat-based repetative sequence briefly when I
    *did* go to some dance clubs or house parties waaaaay back in
    the day]

    No doubt, the Gaga persona is very talented and knows how to
    control her voice and stay in key. But most of her appeal
    requires the visual theatrical element too to draw attention
    (albiet distracting from the strange lyrics at the same time.).
    To me, she can't seem to sing many songs independent of fancy
    studio techniques and remain interesting enough that bear
    repeat listens. Most of her songs seem to have a gimmick to
    draw attention. When she gets loud, her voice sounds screetchy
    to me. I thought the pair-up with Tony Bennett could work..
    but I don't think she's worthy of the blues or crooning style
    for the long term.

    She seems to do the visual + pop/dance/club style well.

    She claims to be the next Madonna. Which Madonna wants to be like the next Lady Gaga.
