    Lady Gaga trouxe um album com um conceito legal e com a criação do universo 'Chromatica', com bastante EDM e música pop.

    Pontos Positivos: a colaboração com Ariana Grande em "Rain On Me" e com Elton John em "Sine From Above", o pop em sua melhor forma em "Enigma", "Replay" e "Babylon". Pontos Negativos: músicas bastante genéricas e inferiores como "Alice", "Free Woman", "Plastic

    It's hard to see where Lady Gaga would go after the diseaster of 2016's Joanne, and she decided to go into full-fledged generic dance-pop tunes that not only feel duplicated, but feel unoriginal and uninspired.

    —Evanesims, 2021

    Yeah, agreed. I probably prefer white noise from Sine From Above and Alice, plus the overall silence after playing the whole album resonates how its just made for art and not to be listened to again.

    There are some good songs here & there, but, overall, they all sound the same. The tracks are generic, nothing that hasn’t been heard before. It is, although, a cohesive body of work.

    These are tracks that are built for individual consumption across a myriad of online platforms, so the composition of the album perhaps lessens in importance. There’s a lot of redeeming qualities to the tracks, but it’s a patchwork job more often than not. «Chromatica»’s main flaw lies in its indecisiveness. It has its moments, but it isn't an album to play on repeat.

But although having its flows, I have to admit that it is her most cohesive album so far, her most personal one as well as her album with some of her best tracks ever such as Alice, a beautiful song about searching for happiness despite going through dark times and wanting to give up, the amazing dance pop "Rain on me" with ariana grande, in which both pop divas sing about healing from their past trauma and "sour candy" with Blackpink. Overall, Chromatica is a cute cohesive album, it could've been way better with a different production team maybe. Expand

Treated/Auto-Tuned vocals? Check. Generic beats? Check. Even when her voice sounds committed (which can't be mustered for an entire song now, it seems), the music is mostly faceless, heard hundreds of times already from wannabe one-name divas who are only heard on the occasional dancefloor in perhaps Kansas by now. Vocal choices are unfortunate - Gaga's lower register is more nasal than ever, and if "Chromatica" proves one thing, it's that Gaga should never do rap or spoken-word; the results of those choices are the low point here. An Elton John cameo is what, 30 years too late to matter, and what's the point of Ariana Grande showing up if she doesn't add anything that Gaga couldn't have done herself? One may not be able to blame Gaga for wanting to get back to what sells after the one-two uuuuggghhh of "Artpop" and "Joanne", but as far as meeting the artistic bar she set for herself with "Born This Way", arguable plagiarism aside, she falls far short in both energy and execution. In some cases she can't even figure out how to end a song, so they just....stop. As, it seems, has she. She'll still sell to the faithful when she's 90, but if she was born this way it's cause for alarm, not celebration. It's not a good sign that the freshest sounds on a singer's dance album are in two short orchestral instrumental interludes. Even the cover could have been outdone by Dale Bozzio in her sleep, and about 80 percent of Gaga's fans are more interesting than this album. At least she didn't use R. Kelly. Expand

    Some songs also didn't elevate me to a higher level, "free woman" for example, is a song that starts to feel good but never gets there and at the end of the song when she is one step closer to taking me to the heights, the song ends.
    However, even with these negative points, the album was cohesive and with sincere and transparent lyrics. For example: Rain on Me, where Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande talk about all the emotional and physical pain they went through during their final years of career.
    In short: Chromatica is a cool and innovative album by Lady Gaga, but I expected more from this "new era"

    Seguindo uma linha tênue entre electro pop e house music, Lady Gaga oferece mais um pouco do mesmo de sempre.
    Em seu sexto álbum de estúdio entitulado de 'Chromatica', Lady Gaga mais uma vez mergulha na raiz de seu estilo musical primário (Electro Music), responsável pelo seu primordial sucesso no 'The Fame', porém com influências house music, estilo já apresentado por Madonna nos anos 90 em sua icônica e atemporal 'Vogue', mas Gaga parece insistir em uma sonoridade datada, chinfrim e básica. De fato, em seu mais novo álbum, a cantora expressa que o mesmo foi responsável por sua cura espiritual, podendo até mesmo ter sido o agente motivador da sua melhora no seu curioso caso de depressão, mas por sorte não podemos dizer o mesmo dos ouvidos de quem o ouve. Chromatica revela uma fase persistente de Lady Gaga e a sua incapacidade de superar seu tão cobiçado e aclamado auge artístico em 2009. Em contra partida, a interprete de 'Bad Romance' entrega boates de cunho experimental em 'Sine From Above', que mesmo com a presença de 12 compositores para realizar tal façanha, possui batidas frenéticas, eletrizantes e contagiantes. Em 2018, Lady Gaga mergulhou na graça das radios contemporâneas com seu hit 'Shallow' e o aclamado/premiado 'A Star Is Born', o que poderia ter iniciado uma fase totalmente madura e ponderada, mas ao que parece, tal sucesso não foi o suficiente para fazer Gaga sair de sua bolha eletrônica, mas como a própria cantora diz 'Faça pelos gays', mas é uma pena que os mesmos não fariam tal sacrifício por ela. Desse modo, 'Chromatica' é uma aposta, uma aposta falha e repetitiva.

    Destaques para as faixas como 'Alice', 'Rain On Me' e 'Babylon', uma das minhas preferidas mas posso dizer que as faixas me pareceram curtas demais, do antigo pop no álbum 'ArtPop', vimos muita versatilidade mesmo que não foi um grande sucesso, mostrou Gaga de várias facetas, ao contrário desse que ela se conteve um pouco se mantendo nas cores rosa e roxo na maioria das vezes, e com clipes medianos como 'Stupid Love' e 'Rain On Me' com a Ariana Grande, entendo que o tempo de quarentena fez que não se pudesse lançar clipes, mas estes clipes em particular foram gravados antes, há pessoas que dizem que quando acabar a quarentena ela voltará a divulgar o álbum, mas impossível de saber.

    Sobre a estética foi algo House/Pop, algo que já está sucesso hoje em dia; eu entendo que o álbum foi algo que os fãs esperavam há um tempo mas poderia se jogar para o outro lado assim como ArtPop que teve rap, pop, edm, acústico, entre muito mais.
    Talvez gaga deva aprender a se jogar mais, mas sobretudo o álbum agradou a grande massa.

Her voice is beautiful, the songs are well written, but the production is uninspired. Some people claim it’s “a return to old Lady Gaga” but the soul of the album is nothing alike, for better or worse. All of her most-successful older songs have that magic of making you feel powerful, bad-ass, sassy, and make you want to dance to them. Sadly, after hours and hours of listening, I don’t get any of these feelings from Chromatica, no matter how hard I try. Expand

    I unstanned Gaga in 2014 when she got too boring for me. A jazz album, a country album, a generic buzz single and a mediocre soundtrack album didn’t interest me that much. I was waiting for her to return to her dance pop roots and that’s what she did with "Chromatica". Unfortunately, the results don’t impress me much at all.

I was waiting for her to return to her dance pop roots and that’s what she did with "Chromatica". Unfortunately, the results don’t impress me much at all. If you leave out the three (amazing) interludes I like half of the album. Six to be exact; "Alice", "Stupid Love", "911", "Sour Candy", "Sine From Above" and "Babylon". "Stupid Love" sounded messy and dated at first but it grew on me and now it’s fun. "911" is the only song that immediately clicked with me. I love the dark pop sound and the deep lyrics. It reminds me of her best album "The Fame Monster" (2009). "Babylon" is a nice fun track but it reminds me a lot of Madonna's "Vogue". A LOT. "Sine From Above" could’ve been perfect if it wasn’t for that awful outro and the 2013 EDM dance breaks. The rest of the song is so beautiful. The other half of the album...it ain’t it. "Free Woman" sounds generic as hell, literally nothing is happening in "1000 Doves", "Plastic Doll" and "Replay" are okay but nothing special and kinda dated, "Enigma" is so 2014 and I don’t even know what that dated mess "Fun Tonight" is. "Rain On Me" didn’t impress me either and it wouldn’t have been such a big hit without Ariana Grande. Very mediocre. Overall, this album is probably my least favorite of hers. I thought her return to dance pop would be great but it’s a disappointment. Half of the songs sound dated and uninspired. Even in the songs that I like there are parts that mess them up a bit. It's not terrible but terribly dated. "Chromatica" is only an okay album even though its concept (and artwork) could’ve made it great. Too bad. Favorites: 911, Sine From Above, Alice & Stupid Love Expand

    Its bad to make expectations about this album; Replay and Fun Tonight are the best songs on this album, i describe this album as a very well produced album, but talking about lyrics, this album is the worst by Gaga. Sour candy should be large, it did not deserved only 2:37

    I guess the production of this album is somethibg to look at, influenced by EDM and House music, drinking from Gaga's first records. At the same time, lyrically, Chromatica stands far from Joanne, Born this Way and even A Star is Born. The songs at the same time, sound repetitive and with the same structure. Hope this formula do not get old that quickly.

    This one is a grower. I was ready to give it a 3, but after a couple more listens I understand that there's a really good album in this. The concept is great and the lyrics are quite good too (even though there are some songs with lazy writing). But too bad the album is kinda overshadowed by the generic production that makes me less attentive of what she's trying to say.

    I know gaga fans will downvote this with a passion but seriously, this is just your average bubble pop album. nothing fancy or groundbreaking here. I actually like mainstream/industry driven pop, but this album is not that good even compared to her previous albums. the best song is Alice in my opinion, and even that one is not well produced.

    if i want to summarize, another pop album

    Chromatica is a nice dance-pop album with a lot of disco influence to it. Highlights are songs between Chromatica II and III which are more defined and stable. It's harder now to identify Lady Gaga's style because she seemed trying so hard to blend in with the current and not being the trailblazer as she did with her first three albums.

    From “The Fame” to “Artpop”, Lady Gaga’s lane was pioneered and had a clear vision. “Chromatica” seemed to stray from her traditional trailblazing sound as did “Joanne”. “Chromatica” delivered a club sound but with confusing transitions.

The biggest issue I had with this album was the production. I understood that Gaga was aiming for a dancepop album, but many of the tracks bordered on the generic europop trend of the early 2010s which instantly makes the album sound very dated, Not only that, melodically and lyrically nothing really stood out on many of the tracks and many of them ended up melding together and not really standing out. I also felt that the interlude instrumentals were kind of unnecessary besides "Chromatica II" that transitioned really well into the track "911".

    Despite this, this album is very inoffensive and if you are into this europop sound, you will likely really enjoy this album. The themes that this album delves into and some of the lyricism on the verses are very resonant as Gaga explores depression and the hardships that follow superstardom. The standout tracks are definitely "Rain on Me"(which is arguably one of the better pop singles released this year) and "Sine From Above" which is prompted by some of the strongest lyricism on the album and great chemistry between Gaga and Elton John on the track.

    Overall, it's definitely not Gaga's worst work, but it is definitely a very "safe" and somewhat disposable album from an artist that is capable of much better.

    Lady Gaga finally did exactly what her fans wanted: a bland and generic pop album.

It's not a bad album, but we've learned to expect a lot more from Gaga. The early 2000s dance music influences are a great idea that never really meets the right song to shine, making the album sound more outdated than fresh. It's also Gaga's least ambitious record, she really isn't trying anything new, it's the first time we can say she is playing totally safe, there isn't a great message or theme here, its just like a collection of songs to dace to, and the songs aren't even that good. Highlights are 911 and the Elton John collaboration Sine From Above, which hint to places she could have explored more, overall its a pretty forgettable album that will probably be left out of her catalog as soon as the next one arrives.

    As much as I adore Gaga this was not her best in my opinion.
    Many of these tracks feel underproduced & have this repetitive 2012 house music we all have heard before,
    lyrically this album is shallower than her previous materials. In all aspects it feels like a step backwards, most of these songs could've been performed by any other popstar, it lost its magic.

    The nostalgia in the production — a blend of crisp digital synth textures and ringing grooves drawn directly from '90s house music — further bolsters the shadowed euphoria of a song like "Sour Candy," in which Gaga is joined by the K-pop girl group Blackpink; "Sine from Above," featuring Elton John, gets a similar friction from the interplay between their voices.

    Chromatica’s frank grappling with the vagaries of Gaga’s brain – and the way fame exacerbates them – ends up feeling much more real than touring dive bars with a guitar and a Stetson ever did.
