Lady Gaga is here to set you free. If your body, soul and spirit have been feeling caged during the coronavirus lockdown, “Chromatica” — Gaga’s highly anticipated fifth solo studio album — just might be the key to escape.
At least for 43 minutes. Descending from the disco heavens, the LP arrived early Friday, as if coming from some planet where the party never stopped.
The dance-floor futurism of “Chromatica” takes you to that place in the galaxy of your mind where the clubs are still pumping.
Originally scheduled to be released on April 10, the album was postponed out of respect to the pandemic. But now Gaga clearly feels that the party must go on to lift us up.
