Alright, I love Chromatica. It& #39;s now my favorite Gaga album. Even though I think Janelle Monae did this first and better. The ArchAndroid does the same thing but with a cohesive narrative with powerful and relevant undertones.
with **social justice undertones. Chromatica is written from Gaga& #39;s perspective as famous, white woman with mental illness, and casts her as a protagonist in her own world. With her gay fans, they can connect to the narrative with their own struggles for acceptance.
I only wish that she added more lore to Chromatica to make it its own Sci-Fi canon, which she might do on tour. ALSO, Coldplay& #39;s Mylo Xyloto (2011) uses the same concept as Janelle& #39;s Metropolis saga.
I think if the ArchAndroid was released today it would have performed better / gotten more acclaim. The Afrofuturist aesthetic and the narrative behind the album would also be more appreciated as Afrofuturism has been popularized by Black Panther and Lemonade.
