Lady Gaga has officially released MAYHEM, her highly anticipated seventh studio album. Following her contributions to the film Joker: Folie à Deux with Harlequin and Joker: Folie à Deux (Music From The Motion Picture) last year, MAYHEM marks a significant return to her solo work.
The album boasts 14 tracks, including the previously released singles “Disease,” “Abracadabra,” and the chart-topping collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With A Smile.”
One standout track, “Killah,” features the talents of French DJ and producer Gesaffelstein. In an Los Angeles Times interview, Gaga revealed that Gesaffelstein and others played a crucial role in her exploration of new sonic territories on this LP.
“I loved learning about industrial music and about all the different crevices of electronic music,” Gaga explained. “One of the things I’ve probably been judged for in my career was not sticking to one thing. But not sticking to one thing is my life force.”
Here’s a track-by-track breakdown of MAYHEM, with links to the complete lyrics:
MAYHEM showcases Lady Gaga's continued evolution as an artist, fearlessly diving into diverse musical landscapes and pushing creative boundaries.
