Released: May 29, 2020

By: Lady Gaga

Four years after the release of her previous studio album, Lady Gaga is back with all the dance-pop greatness that gave her stardom. In true fashion, Gaga creates fun beats with incredible lyrics that hit on real issues – both positive and negative.

The songs on this album are club-ready and will easily hook fans, especially “Stupid Love” and “Rain on Me” – the latter being a vocally powerful duet with Ariana Grande. In between songs are three beautiful instrumental interludes that flow perfectly into the next song.

Gaga brings feminism to the forefront, especially with “Free Woman,” where she states that her music is what she fought for. “911” also has highlights mental illness and calling for help, something that the singer has been vocal about for much of her career.

Final say: A fantastic return. ★★★★☆
