Lady Gaga’s seventh studio album is on the way, and she’s getting ready to make some Mayhem! After teasing this record for quite some time, the Grammy-winning singer officially announced its release, revealing it will hit the shelves in March and feature 14 new tracks.
Mayhem will be released on March 7 via Streamline and Interscope Records, and Lady Gaga teased it by sharing the album cover and a cryptic teaser. It will feature 14 songs, including the previously released lead single “Disease” and the chart-topping Bruno Mars collaboration “Die with a Smile”.
Lady Gaga discussed the release of Mayhem with Elle and said it’s about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to.
“The chaos I thought was long gone is fully intact and ready to greet me whenever I’d like. Part of the message of even the first song on the album is that your demons are with you in the beginning and they are with you in the end, and I don’t mean it in a bleak way,” she told Elle.
Lady Gaga described Mayhem as the return to the pop music her earliest fans loved so much. She also cited ’90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths as her main influences for this record.
