In anticipation of Lady Gaga’s new album Joanne, her new single Perfect Illusion is released and later a music video very different Lady Gaga comes through with a song that aspires to express heartbreak and she triumphs the charts with a classic disco record with rock elements
One cannot help but wonder if she is singing about her ex-fiancé Taylor Kinney, so I decided to called her up to find out ( and yes I do have Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on speed dial, keep hustling and maybe you’ll end up like me:)
So I called her up and this is what she had to say
“This song is not a hit out against Taylor. He’s my best friend. This song is just about, I’m sure, not only feelings I’ve had but feelings he’s had, that my friends have had, and that my sister has in her relationship. It’s a record about all of us, and I would never use my song or want to use the public to hurt anyone that I love so much. . . . We’re just two people figuring it out.”
Stefanie my dear, if you’re going to pull an Adele (sing about your ex) on us the least you can do is be honest about it we can handle it.
The video is shot in a dessert in the Los Angeles area where she is seen among showing her swinging a microphone over her head as an ecstatic crowd cheers on her on as she gyrates around
She then drives a vehicle which I assume represents that “perfect illusion” she stops it abruptly seemingly upset and kicks dust I guess that represents the futility of everything that has gone on in in this illusion.
This video has been the most different video the Mother Monster has ever put out she is dressed differently going around in denim shorts and a tank even her hair could be considered “normal” this video is definitely a calmer version of what we’d normally expect of her.
‘Perfect Illusion’ feels like a natural evolution of her punk days while just slightly staying true to her melodic pop roots. The soaring dance-rock anthem shows the icon in a new light and allows her musical versatility to shine through many have said that It is not the usual pop which we have become accustomed to but, I really do not think it is fair to expect a true artist to be stick to what they know all the time there often comes a time in one’s life when you need to grow and see just how far your creativity can go.
To anyone expecting Joanne to be a pop album I will say that you will be deeply disappointed with collaborations with Florence Welch, Beck and Mark Ronson being the co-producer it will be a mixture of the Lady Gaga we have known as well as her as we have never known before, I cannot wait.
I also look forward to the “Perfect Illusion Tour” Or will it be the “Joanne Tour” whatever it is it will be absolutely incredible
