Lady Gaga's Out-Of-The-Box After-Bar Performance Delights Fans; 'Joanne' Album A Departure From Pop

Lady Gaga gave another out-of-the-box after-performance on Thursday night at The Bitter End bar in New York for the promotion of her latest album, "Joanne." The Grammy Award winner went to the bar's roof and performed two songs more complete with a stunt as she sat at the roof's edge, to the delight of her fans, reports say.

Her album "Joanne" is released on Friday. Lady Gaga, who grew up in New York, chose to perform at The Bitter End, a bar where she used to perform before she hits success. Her promotional performance was attended by the artist's parents, and "Broad City's" Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson.

In a report from Seattle Times, the Queen of the Pop sang songs such as "Joanne," the album's carrier and "Million Reasons" which are said to be her homage to an aunt who lost to lupus at 19. Her songs were played with piano then guitar and with a band composing of the album's producer, Mark Ronson, and the co-composer of the songs, Hillary Lindsey.

Her audience included celebrities such as Helen Mirren and Robert De Niro and some insiders in the industry. Thursday night's performance is Lady Gaga's second after her gig in Nashville, Tennessee two weeks earlier. She is said to give another performance on October 27 in an still undisclosed location.

USA Today reports that Lady Gaga's "Joanne" album is a complete departure from her usual pop genre, collaborating with Tony Bennett for jazz music. The article says the fifth album is Lady Gaga's "complete public-image makeover." Though some tracks on her latest album, such as "A-YO" and "Pefect Illusion," still speak of her usual character, many of the songs are more of a country type.

Lady Gaga is among the few unorthodox artists who fearlessly express what others would otherwise conceal. From the lyrics to her fashion statement to her music video, Lady Gaga has influenced audience of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities.
