Joanne

Named after her late aunt, the global pop icon completely strips away her signature avant-garde, electronic aesthetic for a remarkably straightforward foray into country, folk, and Americana-tinged pop rock. Collaborating heavily with Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker, and Florence Welch, the album focuses on deeply personal, acoustic-driven songwriting regarding family grief and healing. It was viewed as a radical, polarizing, yet highly successful reinvention.
