It’s finally here!
Unleashed moments ago, tuck in below for the official accompanying music video to Lady Gaga‘s latest hit single ‘Perfect Illusion’:
From the single to the album cover (and now to this video), it’s clear Gaga is going for a ‘stripped’ era. Less “gimmick,” more meat (no pun intended).
We’re not knocking her for it as every artist has the right to risks, but it’s a very tricky tightrope to walk when one has made an entire career of being “extra” and eccentric. But, for as disappointingly uneventful as this video was, we were undoubtedly hoping the singer would balance her newfound demureness with some semblance of old Mother Monster.
Here’s hoping fans greet this Gaga with open arms and help hoist the tune into the top 10. For, we’ll be the first to admit, the song really is a bop after a few good spins.
