Lady Gaga | MAYHEM CD

"It's consistently well-written, teeming with hooks and liberally sprinkled with intriguing musical left-turns." — The Guardian

Thirteen-time Grammy winner, Academy Award winner, and two-time Golden Globe winner Lady Gaga returns with Mayhem. Included are the previously released singles "Die With A Smile" and "Disease" plus "Abracadabra". Double LP set pressed on standard black vinyl with fold-out poster included.

The project is the long-awaited followup to the superstar's Billboard 200-topping LP Chromatica, which last saw Gaga embracing her pop star persona at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In the years since, she's been focused on her Enigma and Jazz & Piano residencies in Las Vegas as well as her acting career, taking on roles in Ridley Scott's 2021 film House of Gucci and Todd Phillips' 2024 supervillain epic Joker: Folie à Deux.

In October 2024, fans finally got their first proper taste of Mayhem with the release of single "Disease," a dark-pop dance anthem accompanied by a gothic music video. Gaga has confirmed how many songs will be featured on Mayhem: 14.

That includes the singles "Die With a Smile" — her hit Bruno Mars duet that spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 — and "Disease," which arrived in October alongside an eerie music video.

In a January Elle cover story, Gaga revealed that her influences for the record included "'90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths.
