But, if you really look at it, it's secretly Gaga's best album yet. She somehow managed to take a break from the pop persona and make this whole album really great.



The best thing about her fifth LP is that it has that raw feeling; a feeling of real-ness. It's not just about romance and fame any more; it's true to the heart. "Joanne" is a truly inspiring album to those who decide to listen. Nothing on this album is repetitive nor cheesy. It's just Lady Gaga writing motivational music about healing, dedicated to her father & her late aunt, Joanne Stefani Germanotta.



I recommend watching "Gaga: Five Foot Two", which is available on Netflix, as a companion to listening to "Joanne".
