She also works harder than anyone else I know in that space to be exceptional in everything she takes on. Unlike Warhol, however, Lady has a keen sense of humanity and enormous kindness. No other living artist has Lady's thorough understanding of pop art in all its forms or her instinctive feel for how to maximize its impact on the mass market. Personally, I find Lady as significant as Andy Warhol. Older jazz lovers think she's superficial and cold.
Yet Lady remains misunderstood by many who seem confused ot put-off by her strong fashion statements, her serial personas and her zest for constant change. And there are TV specials coming with Tony, as well as the opening of her new movie, House of Gucci on November 24. Now Lady is about to embark on Jazz & Piano," a nine-day residency with her jazz quintet at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. The newly released remix (above) with up-and-coming artists taking on Chromatica material also is exciting. Her most recent album, Chromatica, released in May 2020, is an electrifying, opera-sized pop-disco work.
In addition, Lady has become a formidable movie actress, a makeup entrepreneur, a philanthropist and a trendsetting superstar, not to mention one of the biggest pop stars in the world today.
In listening to the new album in past weeks, I've found there's a new maturity in her jazz-pop singing. The last time I interviewed Lady was in 2014, just before her first album with Tony, Cheek to Cheek, was released. My resulting piece went up online on Friday and the print version is in the paper's arts section today. We talked about Love for Sale-her new duet album with Tony Bennett-as well as a range of other subjects. At the end of September, I interviewed Lady Gaga for a half hour by phone for The Wall Street Journal.
