This is really huge because Juliette (BBB Brazil 2021 winner and currently very famous in the country) released her first EP yesterday and Fun Tonight remix is blocking all songs from her EP.

I'd love to see her taking even more risks with next album now that this remix album is so well received.

:unsure:

Nice review from Clash Music, 8/10 :clap:

 

Lady Gaga - Dawn Of Chromatica

 

A brilliantly entertaining remix album...

 

If 2020 stands as The Worst Year In Living Memory for a great many people, then the apocalypse did offer one bright light of salvation: namely, Lady Gaga’s extraordinary pop statement ‘Chromatica’. A return to the plastic creativity of her pop roots, ‘Chromatica’ re-connected Gaga with the dancefloor, an explosion rainbow of fluorescent tones that never knowingly went under-stated.

 

Remix collection ‘Dawn Of Chromatica’ is a sister piece, one that brings some fantastic into her orbit. A hodge-podge of styles, genres, and scintillating noise, it’s a broad, ruthlessly entertaining compilation that illustrates just how much music actually went into the direct, finesse’d pop that illuminated ‘Chromatica’.

The highs on display are truly interstellar. LSDXOXO and COUCOU CHLOE go back to back in order to open ‘Dawn Of Chromatica’, delivering dancefloor bumpers in the process. Tasked with remixing (respectively) electro thumper ‘Alice’ and fan anthem ‘Stupid Love’, the two dole out digi-production that comes wrapped in effervescence.

 

Arca deconstructs ‘Rain On Me’, and their mosaic-like approach has a sly, subversive edge; Rina Sawayama and Clarence Clarity team up for an arena-worthy take on ‘Free Woman’ while Charli XCX and A. G. Cook deliver a stellar remix of ‘911’.

 

Not everything lands, however. ‘Sine From Above’ is reworked by Chester Lockhart, Mood Killer, and Elton John – the dense effects seem to distort the song, and it’s perhaps a case of too-many-cooks.

 

The main takeaway from ‘Dawn Of Chromatica’ however is Gaga’s curatorial ability, and the even strength of talent on display. Capable of moving from Ashnikko’s playful digitalism through to the ballroom energy of the Jimmy Edgar and Bree Runway take on ‘Babylon’, it’s a relentlessly entertaining display.

 

Coming ahead of jazz-fuelled standards album ‘Love For Sale’, this remix compilation is an excuse to adore Lady Gaga for her abilities as a cultural curator, one of this generation’s few – only – true interstellar pop talents.

 

8/10

Edit: beaten to it :P

My early favourites are Rain On Me, 911, Sour Candy, Replay & Babylon (Haus Labs)! Shame that ROM hasn’t got the warmest reception, although I am biased as a pretty big Arca fan and it has her stamp all over it :heart:

 

Ordered the vinyl :cheer:

She's beautiful and talented, her verses for the remix were perfect (I just didn't like how the remix ends, but that's not her fault, it's the producer's).
Plastic Doll's remix turned out great and made the song listenable, it's also the biggest chance for something to go viral on tiktok among all the songs.
Rain On Me & Free Woman are the only ones worth listening to.

 

I mean its a minor improvement on the actual album itself but god. Its just noise.

 

Aren't you all in on solar power? :lol:
