Billboard declares 2016's Joanne as a lost masterpiece

Lady Gaga's 2016 Album 'Joanne'. Her first mature Singer songwriter material is officially declared by Billboard as a lost masterpiece in her catalog. Though they agree it's underrated. But Billboard says that title officially belongs to 2013's Overproduced ARTPOP. Which gaga told Zane Lowe in her Apple music interview that the 2013 album was ahead of it's time and that while she was ready, the rest of the world wasn't. But she states with 2020's Chromatica that the world is ready this time. 

 

Anyway while Billboard credits Joanne for allowing Kesha, Miley Cyrus and even Katy Perry to do personal pop. They all didn't have the reception that they hoped for. With the Exception of Rainbow by Kesha besides a lack of radio support the album did sell well and was a critical fav of 2017 in music. 

 

While Kesha returned to her bratty pop and Miley is doing a rock album.

 

Gaga returning to her roots while a good thing. It does make Joanne feel like a lost masterpiece that never could fully deliver what the artist hoped for.
