Emergence

Chromatica is Lady Gaga's sixth studio album

Chromatica is Lady Gaga's sixth studio album. The singer describes the sound of the album as follows: "I want people to dance and be happy. I want to bring out music that a large part of the world will hear and I want them to become a part of their everyday life and make them happy every day power."

Among the titles are common songs with Elton John ( Sine From Above ), Ariana Grande ( Rain on Me ) and the South Korean girl group Blackpink ( Sour Candy ).

A large part of the recording was made in the studio of her Hollywood home, which Lady Gaga acquired in 2016 and where music legend Frank Zappa had his old studio. In an interview with Paper in March 2020, Lady Gaga said about the recording process for Chromatica that the American musician, record producer and songwriter BloodPop was the "center" and the "core" of the album's production and was involved in all the tracks. The recording was made with the participation of a variety of producers and musicians such as Burns , Axwell , Tchami , Benjamin Rice and Rami Yacoub . Skrillex , Madeon , White Sea , Jacob Kasher , Ryan Tedder , Justin Tranter , Tom Norris , Ely Rise , Johannes Klahr , LIOHN and Madison Love were also involved as producers and authors on the album .
