It’s Christmas for Lady Gaga fans as the queen of pop has today released her sixth studio album, Chromatica.
The 16-track album brings Gaga back to her electronica dance music roots after the more piano and acoustic driven Joanne and the soundtrack to A Star is Born.
Lady Gaga drove her own Chromatica lorry on Thursday to personally deliver the album to stores, and it is already receiving stellar reviews from critics celebrating Gaga's new era.
Unsurprisingly, social media has exploded as Gaga’s fandom plays the record on repeat and the countless memes are already a testament to the album’s power.

In a four-star review, Evening Standard critic David Smyth said Chromatica is "what [Gaga] does best."
"Stripped of the pretensions of her third album, Artpop, and the Meat Loaf influences of her second, Born This Way, it’s a non-stop pop rocket into space and a welcome reminder of the unlocked world we once knew," he wrote.
