Just when the world looked to be lacking in inspiration and jolting thrills, Lady Gaga releases a banger like ‘Abracadabra’. While I adore most of what she has done over the years, the past few projects have failed to move me much. I can appreciate her acting prowess; at the same time I first fell in love with her through her music, and one never forgets their first love.
Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life...
‘Abracadabra’ offers the driving melody and beats that characterize the best of her work, while an intricately-choreographed video recalls the glory days of the medium. The costumes, the drama, the dancing, the looks, the hair, the operatic phantom nature of it all… it’s giving everything, and I’m giving myself over to the spell.
