Lady Gaga on Chromatica to The New York Times:
“Maybe over five years ago, I think I was in a really dark place. And I wouldn’t say I made my best music during that time at all. I think Chromatica was really hard for me. That was a very authentic dance record that I’m very proud of, and I loved working on that. But it was just a hard time in my life. I think it's hard to feel deeply authentic when you don’t feel well.”
