Lady Gaga.

SNL is back.  The cast is meshing.  For a few years, it was just ok.  They've finally clicked.  A presidential election year helps.  Lady Gaga preformed this week. She was perfection.

I've listened to the new album on repeat since it came out.  She's calmed down.  Maybe matured? This album is less obnoxious.  She's no longer trying to scream.  This album is art -from start to finish.  I'm obsessed.  Her voice is the star... her talent is what comes through. Her ability to tell a story, in lyrics.  It's all so personal on this album.  

I forgot this album had been released.  I found it on Spotify, and I was caught off guard.  I haven't read any reviews. I feel like they'll bash it.  It isn't the dance album you expect from her.  It's her.  Just her.  It reminded me of when Pink released 'Funhouse' in 2008.  

Watch her performance from SNL.  It's worth it.  It isn't the flashy Gaga people expect, but it's the real  her.  And if you haven't already... give the album a try.
