- Welcome back to Pop Dissected! Today, we're going to be discussing Lady Gaga's sixth studio record, "Chromatica"! In this video, we'll talk about why Lady Gaga decided to go back to her upbeat, electronic pop sound after the stripped back "Joanne".
We'll also dive into what made the record perform so well, it's hit singles "Stupid Love" and "Rain on Me", as well as what "Chromatica" represents for Lady Gaga as an artist, and how art can truly be a form of healing.

Whether you like her or not... we can all agree her pop music changed the music industry forever
Aria really....how? I don’t see it. She was influenced by all the female artiste before her so trying hard to see her contribution
@@ShweMyaukMyauk She was influented by many artists but her style was unique. There was nobody like Lady Gaga on the timer, her persona, music and videos made a huge impact in pop culture (like Bad Romance). EDM music during 2010-2015 was thanks to The Fame's influence.
Niel Wong At least admit she contributed a lot to pop culture from 2008 to 2013
I think she's talented and influenced some women on wanting to be more visually daring, but I don't think sonically she changed the landscape of pop music at all.
@@SnowWhiteTheU2 She obviously did, electronic music became a trend thanks to her debut album. After its release, everyone started to release that type of music and a lot of artists were influented by her extravagant clothes.
another take for me is that chromatica is also a plea for her little monsters. Even though she has alot of fans, alot of them are very harsh in their critique of her music, her tours and other choices. And so she created a dance album, since thats what the fans say they want during Joanne era (if anyone remembers gagaisoverparty after joanne is released). In the song Fun tonight, she expresses that
"You love the paparazzi, love the fame
Even though you know it causes me pain
I feel like I'm in a prison hell
Stick my hands through the steels bars and yell"
Paparazzi, one of her biggest songs and fame her debut album, are both dance songs. The fans always asks about another paparazi song, boxing her artistry in pop music. Its a pop album and yet oozing with sorrow: not just a juxtaposition but a contradictory. Fun tonight is about not having fun, Alice is about not being named alice but wanting to go to wonderland, Rain on me is about wanting to be dry but being under the rain, plastic doll is about not being a plastic doll. For me its even an antithesis of the album the fame and fame monster, where art, sociology of fame and darkness is accepted and almost worshipped, chromatica is about the after effects of fame, when new girls arrive, when the audience is gone, when your body aches from doing your best performing.
LOVEEEE THIS INTERPRETATION!!
Best analysis
Thanks babez i wish fans would be more loving towards her choices '
PERIOD. it's really captivating. Stans can hate all their ways about Chromatica but I love that album so much. It talks about healing, mental health, sorrow, ambitions, etc. AOTY
And Gaga didn’t even promote the album when it was released out of respect for the BLM movement and it was still this successful
IG and they were going crazy as she didint release
I agree.
“Out of respect for the BLM movement” you can’t be serious. That’s not why she didn’t promote it ...
@@CelesteSinger1 girl what... she literally abandoned her promotion during release week and only posted about the BLM movement
Releasing singles is actually part of the promotion. The hype of Rain On Me a week ago helped a lot.
The story of Gaga's depression through the Joanne era and healing through the Chromatica era kinda reminds me of Katy Perry. While the stories of the records Joanne and Witness may not be the exact same, it is kinda similar. During Witness, Katy had a vision for the record. She wanted to be herself during the era (Katheryn Hudson). But all the hate she recieved just damaged her. While with Joanne, although which was well more positively recieved than Witness, Gaga tried to fix the issues her family, and especially her dad, was going through, but that backfired and it damaged her. But this year. Gaga and Katy are healing. With Chromatica, Gaga is dancing through her pain, while with Katy's upcoming record Smile, she is taking back her smile and enjoying life. Idk, i just think the stories are similar because with their previous records, they seemed depressed and with their new records, they seem happier.
💙💙💙 YES SMILE OUT ON AUGUST 28!
Kinda similar but at least Joanne was a surprise thing to the audience but it was really good two records i still love them and listening to these records and btw joanne was going to win a grammy as a album of the year but divide by ed shareen has won
I wouldn't be surprised if they collaborate on a song talking about their experience with depression and stuff like that
Well said! I was thinking the same thing & was going to make the comparison, myself.
@James Cannon The Cat wow, that's such a great idea. Both artists have gone through similar struggles & healing & they're both two of the most successful & iconic women in the music industry. It would be very ground-breaking to have them both collaborate on something very personal that addresses mental health & emotional well-being in an open, honest, positive & uplifting way.
Joanne... Failure??? You mean commercially less successful than some of her other work. But this album, like Artpop, is a resounding aesthetic success embodying high artistic talent that the rest of the field can only dream about.
exactly! both Joanne and Artpop debuted at no. 1, sold 4M+ copies, have a Platinum certification, a multi platinum-top ten hit, and a positive metacritic score. THEY DIDNT FLOP
Period
Swiftie Foreverandever Joanne: 201k first week, 3M+ units (1M is from the start of 2017)
ARTPOP: 250k first week, 4M+ units (2.5 M by end of 2013- 1 month)
FLOP WHERE? stay pressed
@Swiftie Foreverandever STOP BEING DUMB IT HASNT BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2016 SAME WITH ARTPOP. THATs WHY ARTPOP STILL SAYS 2.5 M
BOOM 💥.
this album means so much to me. i was in the middle of a really bad drug problem when the album was released, and on first listen of the album , 911 stuck out to me the most. in a way it was honestly the saddest song on the record and i had such a connection to it. What i appreciate so much about this record is it's underlying meanings and stories contrasted with the upbeat production, reminding me that it's okay to feel pain, just as long as you recognise all the good that's also around you.
I have been sober for almost 2 months now and have had the album on repeat ever since.
Gaga will never understand how much i appreciate her and what she's done for me
Congratulations on your sobriety ❤️ You should be proud
That’s amazing! Congrats!!!
Same exact thing here. Album came out during my addiction phase. 911 is my favorite as well and Alice really was relatable. Looking for a "Wonderland" where you don't feel any pain or chaos
Justin Negrón we got this man 💪🏽
@@marcusevans119 facts we do bro. Keep your head up.
The interludes deserved a whole minute of deep analysis..but OK.
Her interludes were produced by her which make sense
For a lot of the times, music is very simple. Upbeat songs are happy, and sad songs are slow. Chromatica proves different. The entire album is all edm dance music, but most of the songs has a tint of sadness to it, but not explicitly. Unlike Riri’s We Found Love, or Robyn’s Dancing On My Own, which are amazing songs which this upbeat tempo but sad tone, Chromatica doesn’t instantly give you an sad, melancholic vibe. However, the lyrics and the music, when you listen to you long enough, is so incredibly vulnerable, almost like when you see a drunk person dancing on the dance floor, alone, crying, but giving her best dance of her life. It’s trauma, depression, but also embrace and acceptance. This will mark a new era of pop, the kind of upbeat club music that will bring you to cry on the dance floor, but also bring you to heal.
"Edm dance music" = electronic dance music dance music. 😂
You *HAVE TO* go listen to *Above & Beyond* then. This very comment is what they have sought after: dance through the hardest times in your life to see a better tomorrow. Go listen to Peace of Mind, My Own Hymn, Another Chance, or Reverie. I’ve seen them 13 times and half of them I was that person alone in the crowd crying, but there was always someone there to hug me and let me know I will be okay and can make it through it! (I wasn’t always the only lonely one though, I saw others crying and getting emotional!) Seriously go check them out and their label Anjunabeats.
This album will begin the resurrection of Dance Pop music in mainstream (like the beginning of the 2010’s) ...You’ll see many Pop stars doing well produced Dance music in the coming years. Gaga’s always been ahead of her time, and you can tell she’s thinking on a very deep level when it comes to her art
Ahead of her time? 👀 I respect your opinion but I’m not agree. There’s too many songs with the 80’s - 90’s vibes right now. 🤷🏻♂️
@Aaron Glover dua is more on disco. Chromatica is based off of house music
it's literally did not, stop making fetch happen
IMOGEN RUSSELL notice how those records are heavily influenced by 70s disco. Chromatica is based off of 80s and 90s house music. Of course all her records have included some form of disco (with the exclusion of Joanne), with this record, you really hear house music. You can’t be following a trend if you’re not doing it.
@@iruelray21 have you ever heard of The Fame?
THERE WILL BE NO OTHER ARTIST LIKE GAGA.
her artistry, her style and her attack is different. CHROMATICA is such a great album that incorporates melancholic and dark lyrics to upbeat and dance rhythms. The word plays and opposive titles is really genius. I just wish people would stop hating on her just because she's different, she was BORN THAT WAY and she wouldn't change just for you. Gaga is my inspiration, my manifesto, my patron saint. 👑 CHROMATICA coming for aoty
YESSSS
She ripped off Madonna & Bowie
@@althompson1504 me when i dwell in 2009-2013 forever
admittedly i haven't really been a huge fan of lady gaga's music since her initial debut, but when i saw the aesthetics of this new era and kept hearing endless amounts of praise and adoration for chromatica, i knew i had to check it out! imagine my surprise and delight when i discovered an entire album's worth of solid gold, and this is coming from someone who very rarely enjoys an artists works from start to finish. i appreciate and admire all of the different genres and musical decades she pulled from, even more so because her signature sound brings them altogether with a cohesion you don't often see!
i know there were a few stylistic choices and risks she made on the album that didn't pay off for everyone (like the drum n bass break of the holy track that is "sine from above") but they made me enjoy chromatica so much more. even if nothing lady gaga has ever created tickles you first of all, how? she's such a chameleon who's unafraid of trying new sounds and she has the skill to pull them off! secondly it's becoming impossible to deny her sheer talent and artistry, so despite not being a huge fan i've always regarded her as That Bitch.
chromatica sounds like pop music did twenty years ago, today, and twenty years into the future. that's why lady gaga is so influential!
Chromatica is a healing record and a mental health record. I've been rather depressed lately and I have been listening to Chromatica quite a bit
Chromatica is the best record of the year (in my non-professional opinion), followed by Future Nostalgia and After Hours. The way that she made something generic without being generic. Enigma almost made me cry because of how surprised i was with the chorus. Sour Candy and Babylon are masterpieces and the rest are wonderful, too.
Even though 2020 was a fucked up year. Chromatica cheered me up a whole lot, I definitely see it as a timeless album. I’ve been a fan of Gaga for 11 years and how she evolves right in front of my eyes just blows my mind all the damn time. I bet her VMA’s performance WILL. BE. AMAZING
The concept of Chromatica alone, video game inspired/escapist world that we can dance to despite everything that's going on, is ICONIC. The only artist in 2020 to have a concept to trend. We keep repeating the "we're going to Chromatica" as if it was a place but in fact it's an escapist form of art that actually realises real world struggles. No shade on other big artists that released music this year but i don't hear lines that incorporate the concept of 'Rare', 'Future Nostalgia', nor 'After Hours'. I like those bodies of work but compared to Chromatica, they don't have the longevity of the concept that this album has. The only concept that i find comparable with (in the extent of creativity) is TS "Folklore" which is also done pretty good in a completely different way both thriving separately with their respective concepts.
Haters will always use arguments that are outdated but no one can deny the fact that Lady Gaga is a staple in Pop Music and in Pop Culture. A LOT OF THE NEW ARTISTS LOOK UP TO HER. Musically, there are only a few standout tracks I'd prefere over her other past albums but this album blows away most of the competition this year.
I LOVE LADY GAGA SINCE 2008! Mother Monster Forever! 😊
i'm so early i thought chromatica will have a proper promotion
She had lots of plans but fuck Covid
She will start real promotion from August 30 at VMAs.
It was on hold cause of covid
Wdym? Chromatica was promoted pretty massively
@@thankuslay6766 Where? Gaga didn't even mention about Chromatica in the first two months.
I loved Chromatica, honestly. Such an honest album, great to have fun and also very cathartic. The last part I thought was so good, Sine From Above is probably my favorite song and it gets me every time, 1000 Doves has such vulnerable lyrics, and then Babylon is such a joy to listen to, and an amazing way to close the album. I love it! Great vid!
this is gaga's most cohesive album.
Looking at the Sheisse, Americano, Bad Kids, Fashion Of His love - Combo
I love the video Pop Dissected! In my opinion, Im glad Lady Gaga is healing. I think Chromatica is her best album so far. Although i loved the country and soft rock sound of Joanne, i really missed her pop sound and im glad she brought it back.
I feel like Chromatica was what Artpop wanted to be. I still crave for something like The Fame to this day.
My best Decision In my life is becoming a Little Monster!!! I have been following her since 2009 and i m so proud of her. Seeing how much she have accomplished and how much she have Grown artistically!!! Many Little Monster left her during ARTPOP ERA. But the true Monster never left her!!! She is My queen. She have changed my life so much. And She saved me. It may be coincidence but Every time when i have bad and hard Situation in my life she always release a New Album and always heals me!!!!
Out of all her work this is easily #2 on my list I just love the way it’s songs feel connected to each other telling one be story. The album starts off strong and finishes stronger. I said what I said and I didn’t stutter
Chromatica is somehow more relatable and personal than Joanne even though joanne was marketed as the most personal album, i think she really ffound her footing and built upon that foundation. this album is everything ARTPOP wished to be, in this album sadness and joy belong together.
One of the best albums ever. 911 is a bop
i love the deluxe version of "1000" doves, its like gaga saying - hope you enjoyed my club masterpiece, btw I STILL can do incredible piano ballads. Multi-talented queen.
CHROMATICA is by far Gaga's single most cohesive album to date, and I think this era also further enhanced Gaga's position among all-time greats in the music industry, especially when you begin to realize that she didn't quite at least moderately promote this era relative to virtually all hugely (commercially and critically) successful uptempo pop albums in history and still actually join those ranks, more than a year since Stupid Love even got leaked. This album also spawned the first all-female collaboration to debut at #1 in history (c/o Gaga and Ariana Grande) to widespread critical acclaim, making it smoother for succeeding female collaborations after them to do the same on those charts.
Why are the hashtags billie eilish and my future 😅
Is there eny chance that you will do a video on the fame monster era ????
Love Chromatica! The lyrics really relate to me, personally. 911 is the most relatable to me. I love how she's not afraid to discuss mental health issues in her songs.
Plastic Dolla and fun tonight are my favorite songs in it. I love how it talks about her career, the people she's around with, the media and her fans, and how everyone sees her as someone without emotion or feelings with her own wants and needs. Struggling to keep everyone happy but failing miserably at it.
I think the message of chromatica is more important and (and probably touched more people) because the situation in the US this year. I swear the album has helped me a lot
It's about time you made this video! Been waiting on this one for a long time!
I’m really glad I watched this video!!
“joy & sadness living together” was literally the best things I’ve heard !! thank you 🤍
i love your point on the album itself being 'a big track'. listening to the whole album, following the track order, does make me feel i am experiencing her journey. i have never felt so close to her when listening to her other albums
Chromatica has become my favorite album of all time 💗
Yesss! Been waiting for this vid!🙌🏼
Ahhhh finaly I have been waiting for this for a while .... love your videos byw
chromatica is honestly her best work. The album is a journey & very personal.
Can you do one about Dua Lipa and Future Nostalgia? I think it's one of the best pop album released this year and I would love a Pop Dissected video about it. Thanks.
Lol the hashtags tho..😂
😂😂😂
Ya I'm offended
💀
Kiamo Sky maybe it was just an accident
What was?
Isn’t “sour candy” also a single? I thought that it was especially with all the hype it got but I could be wrong there’s many times when a popular song wasn’t a single on an artist album
Is a promotional single
Sour candy was promotional single
It was a promotional single so yes, but also no
A single is a song that is sent to radios. 911 is a single in Italy but it’s not a single anywhere else. Thus it’s a promotional single because it has a music video
Yaas I've been waiting for this
Chromatica is EVERYTHING! Love the 90s dance club vibe to it 😍😍😍😍ughhh!!! 🥰🥰 I can literally vision a music video taking place in the 90s when I hear Alice, and I never grew up in the 90s
Chromatica is a diary of GAGA, where she talk about her fear,frustration and all struggles that shes been gone through all althetical experience of her mind and body. GAGA will always be my favorite artist for being strong person ,kindness and a Nice such exemple for glbtq community,thanks so much GAGA 😍😍😍
CHROMATICA reminds me of ARTPOP so much. I’m glad CHROMATICA has been well received.
My mom has fibromyalgia and let me tell you Gaga making it to the studio is heroic on its own
The wait was worth it
@popdissected I am glad you mentioned the songs on "Chromatica" being kind of the same, I didn't get the album at first when I listened to it, on TH-cam Music when the Album dropped, but this week I went through Gaga's Discography on Tidal, I understood "Chromatica" a lot better. The album reminded me a lot of The Beatles "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" in terms of one is listening to a play or a show.
Huge fan of your videos. The way I liked this before playing.
oooooh im first, just wanted to say I love your videos.
FINALLY A VIDEO ON CHROMATICA THANK YOU
I honestly prefer her other sound. Like her more “generic pop” or soft rock from Joanne. It’s a solid album but I don’t think I’m her intended audience. But it’s nice to see her return to pop.
This is a comment that even though I disagree with personally, I can totally respect.
i think there's two types of Gaga fans:
- Ones that just liked her The Fame and Born This Way era and will dislike her new music.
- And ones that like her as an artist and will support her no matter what.
@@whodat8644 THIS^
@@whodat8644 omg the way you spill the tea! been a fan since 2013 and eventhough I don't really like ARTPOP, Joanne, and even A Star Is Born Soundtrack, I keep following her. luckily Chromatica paid off everything, it's my favorite album after Born This Way!
@@emojee6289 im in the second one. i do prefer her older work but still love her newer work. i just love gaga so much that i'll support her even if she does gospel music lol.
Free woman is my favorite SONG from the álbum and visually the vídeos and art cover is beautiful, i Love the pink color era...
I really appreciate this álbum but Joanne is my favorite. And she was amazing in the star was born movie and soundtrack. I'm not her biggest fan, but i can agree she's very talented, her impact in pop music is huge and ICONIC, and i like her now more than in her early years...✨
Although not used often in Chromatica, Lady Gaga’s core must be in amazing shape! 💚
Bro, I waited for months for your video on Gaga. As always, it was worth the wait!
P.s. can you make a video on Ava Max?
This album continues to help me heal through my breakup the pandemic and with mental health declining
Beastly work you have here
So I’m an early day Gaga fan, been here since November 2008 and dare I say it’s top with the fame monster and BTW - it’s her most focussed and cohesive work and while I preferred some of the demos (free woman in particular) it’s a great album. Babylon, Alice, 911 with the transition and Sine from Above are my favourite songs on it
Lady Gaga is forever changing
i love this album
I love this album. I think that she can do whatever she wants to but I LOVE pop, this album is so grown up but also very youthful.
Chromatica is the album of the year and the best pop album in the last 5 years
That's not that hard since pop music was very bad the last 5 years without Gaga. But thank god Gaga returned she made the best pop album this year.
Future nostalgia was great, and I'm sorry but Carly Rae Jespons out put is far more layered and effectively produced than chromatica. Chromatica is a cohesive album but it lacks the spark of her previous work
@@jgr2637 your opinion is trash go away tastless rat
@@gagasresindecy4700 there is no need to be so rude and horrid. I only have my opinion. Gaga has spent years campaigning against bullies perhaps you should listen to her because that's nasty behaviour.
@@jgr2637 did I ask shut up the jealousy in the comment section is unreal gaga made album of the year if you don't agree then you're probably deaf..
i agree with pretty much all you said. I the lyrics in fun tonight I find it really passionate and it shows her emotions, wrapped up in a fun song.
TBH Chromatica is one of the best albums out there. Love it so much.
I love ur videos 🥺✨❤️
Well, 2020 is such a year for bringing back nostalgic sounds. From The Weeknd, to Dua Lipa and Gaga, which she nailed that Y2K cyberpunk aesthetic plus, 90s and 00s club bangers, perfect fit to create a wholesome musical universe, in time for pandemic
this video just made me love the album more
One of the best albums of hers!
CHROMATICA is healing Gaga and many of us Little Monsters including myself ❤️
This album feels really refreshing, I really loved her return to making pure pop music. As much as I love this album, I must admit that it's not one of the strongest in 2020. For me, it was kind of overshadowed by After Hours, Folklore and Future Nostalgia which are all better albums in my opinion. Anyway it's not really a competition so I'm happy for her.
Feels a little like Born This Way's spiritual successor. Whereas BTW focuses on the outward and what other people think about you, Chromatica focuses on the inward battle we have internalized in ourselves
Thank god the Joanne & A Star is Born era are both over with and she’s back to her pop roots
Yay finally the chromatica video
Chromatica wasn’t just a return to form for Gaga, it was a return to form for the entire genre.
We LOVE Chromatica!!!
My third favourite record of all time.
Not pop dissected putting #billieeilish in a lady gaga video😭
Chromatica is all that plays in my car. It just replays over and over and over, and I don't care if people get annoyed because I want to feel good.
as gaga fan since 2008. I think Chromatica is a safe album for her. After trying totally different sounds and always create something new she needed a pop record that would just let her back on track with pop. I don't think the album it's innovative that much, but we missed so much her dance roots that's it's fine to say that's a good album. I just think she will need to elevate the bar for the next one. But can't wait to see the Vmas and 1 or 2 new singles from it.
But let's be honest we all expect Gaga to raise the bar with every album.. but isn't that impossible? We should not even compare Chromatica to her previous work because this is just a new era for her.
@@Sapphire901 even if it's a new era we can still say it lacks some of the experimentation that elevated the fame monster and born this way. This era is a return to pop, but only very plain pop. I'm really hoping she embraces PC music as she got SOPHIE to produce some stuff from her and prove to people she can out out cutting edge amazing music
Lady gaga is the deoxys of our era
I just love how this album sounds so joyful yet the lyrics are mostly sad, talking about dealing with mental health issues.
God this album is just perfection
If she can pull another successful single off from this album, like 'Alice', 'Free Woman' or '911', this album would be a career record for her.
The hashtags bro wtf. Anyways
Chromatica is period the second best album of the year. She nailed. Its her best work since Born This Way.
Im so proud of the work she did.
My top 5 tracks are
1. Fun Tonight
2. Sine From Above
3. A Thousand Doves
4. Rain On Me
5. Sour Candy
Wht r the hashtags?

Gaga i love forever ❤😍
I can't believe her debut album - 'The Fame' (her best imo) only peaked at number 2 in the US album charts. At least it spent 4 consecutive weeks at number 1 in the UK.
YAAAAAAZZZZZ
Why does this video have billie eyelash hastags?
Katy is gonna release a new album called Smile on 28th August
it sucks how artists nowadays (or artists in general) have to make songs that appease not themselves but other people or else they’ll tank. katy with witness, gaga with her works prior to chromatica, etc etc. i just wish artists’ personal songs were equally as successful as their “fun” ones.
Whilst it's a problem I disagree about Gaga fitting this mold. If you watch the interviews about chromatica she said time and time again this album was for her to heal herself through dancing. She even said in her hour long interview that chromatica was her most personal album, whilst Joanne was a misguided attempt to help her family through the loss of her aunt
Jonah Graham i guess i haven’t gotten into this era of hers that much so im not that well educated on the story behind it but if this is true then its amazing how these songs of hers are doing. proud of her
“911” was also released as a single in Italy, serviced to Top 40 radio.
Chromatic was the album that saved me through covid times
