Lady Gaga goes full Shania Twain on new Joanne single "A-YO"
Lady Gaga is teasing upcoming record Joanne with "A-YO", a '90s country-rock belter with huge hooks.
If Shania Twain followed "That Don't Impress Me Much" with "A-YO", no one would bat an eyelid. Gaga's newest offering is plump with dusty strummin' and searing Southern riffs.
Some of those riffs are from Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme - in fact, the track's stuffed with big names. Mark Ronson, Este Haim, producer BloodPop (Grimes, Justin Bieber), and Ian Hendrickson-Smith of The Roots all chime in at various points. It's co-written with Ronson, BloodPop, and Hillary Lindsey.
The track follows "Perfect Illusion" and "Million Reasons" in teasing the pop titan's fifth LP.
