It's difficult not to view Joanne through the prism of Artpop, the 2013 album where Lady Gaga's expanding fame balloon finally popped. Ambitious but muddled, Artpop debuted high but came crashing down to the ground, stalling out after the second single, the R. Kelly duet 'Do What U Want.' Gaga quickly retreated to the confines of cabaret, cutting a nicely accomplished standards album with Tony Bennett, a move that not only gave her the opportunity to work with a legend, but signaled that she considered Artpop a step too far: The camp of Cheek to Cheek was elegant, not garish, an acknowledgment that she was once again back in control of her joke. It set the stage for Joanne, a clever streamlining of the Lady Gaga persona that functions as the opposite of Artpop. All the excesses are excised while the eccentricities are used as accents on songs that are usually well-rendered pop. A few numbers take a passing glance at country music -- the title 'Joanne' winks at Dolly Parton's 'Jolene'; in a different arrangement, the ballad 'Million Reasons' could be an adult contemporary crossover from Faith Hill or Shania Twain -- but Gaga's feet remain firmly planted in dance-pop even when she brings in Father John Misty, Beck, Florence Welch, and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age for collaborations. Homme co-wrote 'Diamond Heart' and 'John Wayne,' two of the harder disco songs here, while Misty assists on the steady rolling 'Sinner's Prayer' -- perhaps the best fusion of country and pop here -- and 'Come to Mama,' a buoyant throwback to Motown that finds a companion on the Welch duet 'Hey Girl,' an analog slow jam that floats in the shimmer light. These, plus the riotous 'A-Yo' and the masturbation ode 'Dancin' in Circles,' don't necessarily find comfortable companions in the ballads peppered throughout the album, but executive producer Mark Ronson helps polish Joanne so it flows easily, which is its appeal but also its Achilles Heel. Where previous Gaga albums were high-wire acts, Joanne is decidedly earth-bound, a record made by an artist determined to execute only the stunts she knows how to pull off.

What is the album called?
Gaga's album is going to be called 'Joanne'.
The name is a reference to her aunt, Joanne Stefani Germanotta, who sadly died of lupus aged 19.
Despite passing away 12 years before Gaga was born, the singer spoke about her connection with her aunt in a recent interview.
'As I returned to my home life and spending time with my friends and family and getting out of the mainstream limelight for a minute, the experiences of our family and our challenges that make us who we are.'
'It’s everything about Joanne ... it’s all the toughness of the pain of losing her that made us all strong and made us who we are. She is the woman of my past who is becoming and helping me bring more of my honest woman self into the future.'
So it looks set to be a pretty emotional affair!

Who is going to feature on the album?
'Perfect Illusion' was co-written and co-produced by Mark Ronson, BloodPop and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker - so we know they've played a part in the album.

Talking about that track, Gaga said, 'This song is about singing to a man just telling him, 'Look I just don’t want to break the heart of any other man but you, but I know that I'm a sinner.'
Queens Of The Stoneage frontman Josh Homme is set to play guitar on a track titled 'John Wayne and Gaga commented that the song explores 'my incessant need to run after wild men and somehow I get bored of the same old John.'
Beck is another artist who Gaga confirmed would feature on the album, although we're not sure the name of their collaboration just yet.

Where can I get a copy?
In a recent interview, Lady Gaga claimed that she will not be running any exclusive streaming deals with any companies,
She revealed, 'I told my label that if they signed those contracts with Apple Music and Tidal, I'd leak all my own new music.'
