In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Perfect Illusion

Music by Stefani Germanotta

Originally Performed by Lady Gaga

"Perfect Illusion" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga. It was made available for digital consumption on September 9, 2016 through Interscope Records as the lead single from her fifth studio album, Joanne (2016). The track was written and produced by Gaga, Kevin Parker, Mark Ronson and BloodPop. A disco-rock song, "Perfect Illusion" lyrically delves on the singer's "highest of highs and lowest of lows" in a relationship, and is ultimately a commentary on social media. Gaga wrote the lyrics using her Underwood typewriter; after numerous permutations the composers derived the final track. Speculation that the song referred to Gaga's ex-boyfriend Taylor Kinney was refuted by the singer.

"Perfect Illusion" - Lady Gaga explodes on the charts with this rock-oriented dance tune. With pulsing, guitar driven verses and powerful vocals, this is a can't-miss song for show choirs and other choreographed performances. "Million Reasons" - After all of the wild costumes, crazy hair and over the top antics, Lady Gaga has proven herself to be an excellent singer and a fine musician. This power ballad draws out emotions and dynamics and will make a big statement in your program. You've given me a million reasons to go, but I just need one good one to stay. "I'll Never Love Again" - A Star Is Born became the breakout hit of the fall, garnering universal acclaim, immense box office receipts and a glowing word-of-mouth that made one thing abundantly clear: this music was very good. This climactic, no-holds-barred song gets a full choir treatment worthy of singers looking to achieve raw emotionality with grace.
