Album Inspiration: Lady Gaga’s “Joanne”

Last month Lady Gaga released her fifth studio album Joanne, which quickly soared in the charts, becoming her fourth No. 1 album in the Billboard 200. Gaga is thus the first woman with four No. 1 albums in the Billboard 200 chart in the 2010s. 

The songs from Joanne span various genres: country, funk, pop, dance, rock, electronic, and folk. These all showcase Gaga’s vocal abilities which complement the feelings underlying each song.

This is Gaga’s most emotional album to date. Family, past relationships, and personal history provided inspiration for the album, as Gaga recently explained in an interview. The album was heavily influenced by her late aunt Joanne Stefani Germanotta, who died at age 19 due to lupus. The album carries Joanne’s name as a tribute.

After listening to the album (on repeat) I have put together three looks inspired by songs from Joanne. Picking just three songs was tricky because the album is full of gems, so I recommend listening to it in full.

Lady Gaga – Perfect Illusion (Official Music Video)

While the songs above are more mellow, Perfect Illusion is a disco-rock piece that demands turning up the volume. Gaga stated that it’s a song about “being angry when love doesn’t work out” but also about having to live up to somebody’s illusion of you. 

Products: Top, Shorts, Earrings, Sunglasses, Boots

This outfit is inspired by Gaga’s attire in the song’s music video, embedded above. To achieve the badass rock chick look, simply wear a black top with a pair of distressed denim shorts and chunky boots. Complete the outfit with hoop earrings and round sunglasses. Ideally somebody will also hand you a microphone so you can sing your heart out.
