Joanne

Lady Gaga kicks off her heels, grabs some formidable alt-rock stars, and gets down, dirty, and refreshingly intimate. Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme brings out Gaga's inner Pat Benatar on growling rocker "Diamond Heart," after which she heads to the honky-tonk for "A-YO" and throws a thrashing disco party for the brokenhearted alongside Tame Impala's Kevin Parker ("Perfect Illusion"). But once she sheds the flash and excess—channeling a young Dolly Parton on "Joanne"—the pop superstar becomes a comforting shoulder to cry on.
