The first line of the bridge is a bit bothersome because it lacks cohesion: "Girl where do you think you're going? / Honestly, I know where you're going." I will say, the mixing sounds off in the second verse, almost like it was recorded in a different studio with different equipment. The acoustic guitar instrumentation was the perfect choice for this track and it draws attention away from the lackluster hook and bridge. The verses are quite strong lyrically, but the hook kind of falls flat. The emotional title track, named after Gaga's late aunt, is a sweet tribute to her memory. The intense energy of the final chorus calls back to the structure of "Diamond Heart," and it's a trend that more pop artists should try. This track places dance-pop Gaga in the more laidback era of Joanne-Gaga, a feat that shouldn't work, but ultimately does. The dynamics of soft vocals and slight growls make for an interesting combination that somehow works. The chicken-fried and twang-inflected "A-YO," is a fun track stacked with handclaps and sweet hooks. The attention to detail in the production of the final chorus is pleasing to the ears and incredibly impressive. Biographical lyrics bring a sense of edge and darkness to counterbalance the jubilance of Gaga's vocals. If anything, this track sounds even better one year later the bridge is goosebump-inducing. My talented and good friend Cam mixed the vocals and elevated the production to make it the song it is today, so I definitely can’t take all the credit, but it’s amazing to think that I made this from my room and now it’s being listened to by hundreds of people every day.Gaga kicks things off with the rousing stadium-rock anthem, "Diamond Heart." The gravity-defying vocal performance coupled with the grit and spunk of the instrumentation makes for an epic introduction to Joanne. I had to include this song because it recently reached 100k streams on Spotify, and it’s the first of my songs to ever do so! I produced this one and recorded myself in my bedroom with literally just the basics. This song, in particular, hooked me in because I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song about a long-distance relationship, and it was cool to hear something more than just your general breakup song. I recently discovered Chxrry22, and besides her beautiful voice, I love her lyrics. I always feel like an untouchable, bad b when Bree comes on. It’s like a Pop hit with Afrobeat influences, and she effortlessly moves between singing and rapping. I love songs that can’t easily fit into a genre, and this is one of those. I love how fierce and unapologetic Bloody’s music is, and it’s even more special knowing she’s self-produced. When I first heard the opening line, “I don’t f**king like you,” I was sold immediately. This song really inspired me to explore new genres and experiment more with vocal production. When I wasn’t on the mic recording, I was dancing around the studio while he did the vocal chops, and it was super cool to make something upbeat as my music has been more mellow in the past.Įvery time this song comes on, I get the most intense urge to break out into full choreography. It was my second session ever with producer VELLI, and the aim was just to try something new and fun. “Other Side” is my latest musical offering and probably my favorite to date.
