Lady Gaga just dropped her first new single in years, 'Perfect Illusion,' and it's fantastic
Interscope
The much-anticipated new solo single from Lady Gaga, "Perfect Illusion" - her first in about four years, and following the disappointing commercial performance of her last album "Artpop" - came out Friday.
Gaga has taken a new sonic turn on the track, which was produced by Mark Ronson ("Uptown Funk"), Bloodpop, and Kevin Parker of the rock band Tame Impala. It pares things down to a rawer, more natural instrumentation than the dance-pop hits "Bad Romance" or "Poker Face."
But that's not to say this isn't the Gaga we know. The '80s arena-rock vibe that owes something to both Bruce Springsteen and hair-metal, and those soaring, hold-nothing-back vocals are vintage Gaga. And with the hooks on this brief earworm ("It wasn't luuuuhv"), expect to hear this thing all over the radio or your friend's playlist immediately.
