As a huge Lady Gaga fan, I knew how excited people were for the new single. We've been eagerly awaiting Gaga's fifth album since the release of her previous album Artpop in late 2013. The single, Perfect Illusion is finally here ad it has everybody talking.
To start, it is totally not what I expected. I love it, but I don't think many people expected it to be so "rock." Gaga is one of those artists that we expect this from, too. After her jazz album and killer role on American Horror Story: Hotel, we all knew that this album would probably be more instrumental. However, the single still includes a great balance of instruments, which I find rare in mainstream music, while underlining the chorus with a more pop Gaga beat.
Knowing how Gaga has been an avid fan of metal music her whole life, it's impressive to see her doing something so raw. I mean, this first track has Tame Impala on it. This album is already paving the way to another hit record.
In addition, the new record has been confirmed to feature indie band Florence + The Machine. This pretty much nails the coffin closed: this is a rock album.
Lady Gaga is once again taking over the world. The album still hasn't dropped, but the world can;t stop talking about Gaga. Gaga also is appearing in the sixth installment of American Horror Story, and is starring in the remake of A Star is Born. As we see, 2016 to 2017 is going to be a busy time for Gaga. Speaking for everyone, we're happy you're back Gaga.
