Hace un par de semanas por fin se puso a la venta el single de regreso de Lady Gaga, que llega tres años después de su último álbum de estudio ‘ARTPOP‘ y un par de años más tarde tras su disco de jazz junto a Tony Bennett.
Lo nuevo de Gaga es ‘Perfect Illusion‘, un tema pop rock producido por Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker (de Tame Impala) y la propia cantante. Además de esta primera versión, se ha anunciado que en los próximos días podremos escuchar otra versión alternativa de ‘Perfect Illusion‘ con la colaboración del rapero estadounidense Twista.
‘Perfect Illusion‘ es el tema de presentación del quinto trabajo discográfico de Gaga, que se pondrá a la venta el próximo 21 de octubre bajo el título de ‘Joanne’.
Con el fin de seguir promocionando esta canción, se acaba de estrenar su enérgico videoclip, que ha sido dirigido por Andrea Gelardin y Ruth Hogben y cuenta con los cameos de los productores del tema Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker de Tame Impala y BloodPop:
A continuación puedes leer la letra de la canción:
[Verse 1]
Tryin’ to get control
Pressure’s takin’ its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know
[Chorus]
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
You were a perfect illusion
[Verse 2]
I don’t need eyes to see
I felt you touchin’ me
High like amphetamine
Maybe you’re just a dream
That’s what it means to crush
Now that I’m wakin’ up
I still feel the blow
But at least now I know
[Chorus]
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
[Bridge]
Where are you?
Cause I can’t see you
It was a perfect illusion
But I feel you watchin’ me
Dilated, falling free
In a modern ecstasy
Where are you?
Cause I can’t see you
It was a perfect illusion
But I feel you watchin’ me
But I feel you watchin’ me
Illusion
But I feel you watchin’ me
Mistaken for love
Where were you
Cause I can’t see
But I feel you watchin’ me
Mistaken for love
Dilated, falling free
In a modern ecstasy
Mistaken for love
In a modern ecstasy
In a modern ecstasy
I’m over the show
Yeah at least now I know
[Chorus]
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
You were a perfect illusion
You were a perfect illusion
It was a perfect illusion
Somewhere in all the confusion
It was a perfect illusion, illusion (illusion)
[Outro]
Where were you ‘cause I can’t see it
It was perfect illusion
But I feel you watchin’ me, baby
Somewhere in all the confusion
Dilated, fallin’ free
You were so perfect
In a modern ecstasy
You were a perfect illusion
