close [https://events.xg4ken.com/pixel/v2?tid=KT-N35C3-3EB&noscript=1] That’s what makes it such a colossal win. Photo: YouTube Last night online , and I couldn’t come up with one, and no one else who tried to come up with one in the Twitter thread could do it either. That’s because rain is a rich topic for songwriters. You can roll it out as melodramatic mise-en-scène during a dark story song (Garth Brooks’s “The Thunder Rolls,” Brooke Benton’s “Rainy Night in Georgia”) or you can employ it as a heavy-handed metaphor for depression (The Temptations’ “I Wish It Would Rain,” the Carpenters’ “Rainy Days and Mondays”), or you can use it to sing about sex (SWV’s “Rain,” Madonna’s “Rain,” I think), or you can pretend that the weather is quietly acknowledging your need for spiritual reckoning or outward change or whatever (Bruce Hornsby’s “Mandolin Rain,” Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song” and “Fool in the Rain”).

I think the new Chromatica single “,” the first-ever team-up between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, is trying to cover all these points at the same time, and miraculously, it works. When this month, he said he likes to write songs that evoke a “crying on the dance floor” feel. This is that, literally and figuratively. “Rain on Me” is a song you can receive on whatever level suits you. If you’re going through something right now — and aren’t we all? — you might bust a tear duct at Gaga singing “I didn’t ask for the rainfall” in the first verse or at the chorus’ euphoric “ … at least I’m alive.” If you’ve had a quiet spring, you might just chuckle at “It’s coming down on me / I’m ready, rain on me.” Maybe you latch onto Ari’s verse about trying to be honest and true to yourself no matter the cost. “Rain on Me” is versatile. It occupies whatever role the situation requires.

(A while back, I tried to figure out why Hilary Duff called upon a heavy rain to wash her sanity away in “,” but all I got was the song stuck in my head for two months.) It’s a little vague but also kinda universal. And there’s major Tifa and Aerith saving Midgar in energy in all the industrial backdrops and cyberpunk outfits in . Honestly, it’s a win for those alone. Chromatica arrives in seven days, kids. Set your house in order.

close First we were lost in the desert, but now there’s rain. Lady Gaga has released the video for the second song off her new album Chromatica, featuring and co-starring Ariana Grande. The video is a further step into the “world” of Chromatica, as Gaga has described, after her video for the single which found Gaga and her dancers . (And the new song itself is slays, but we’ve known that for 13 hours now.) Gaga’s pink-clad dancers are back, and they meet a group of purple dancers led by Ari during a rainstorm of daggers. Then they do what people tend to do in the world of Chromatica, which is have a dance party.

“She was so open to trying things that she hasn’t done before,” Gaga previously of working with Grande on the video. (Such as, but not limited to, letting her hair down from her signature ponytail.) “It was this beautiful, I think very healing process for me, not necessarily having a female artist that mentored me as I came up.” It’s before we find out what else Chromatica has in store on May 29 — unless, of course, anything leaks, ?
