More details on Lady Gaga’s album MAYHEM
MAYHEM by Lady Gaga hit global airwaves on March 7, 2025. The album is a follow-up to her Harlequin companion album for the Joker: Folie à Deux. Mother Monster revealed to Zane Lowe of Apple Music that she composed over 50 songs, of which she selected the final tracklist. She spoke about the album’s purpose:
“This record was about celebrating bringing industrial music and grunge together, but also with these super-pop sensibilities and 2000s influences,”
She added:
“‘Garden of Eden’ is a song about the temptation of being in the club and all the bad decisions you're seduced into making. It's kind of like Level 3 after ‘Disease’ and ‘Abracadabra’ right before we get to ‘Perfect Celebrity’ on the album when the night starts to turn a little bit.”
Critics have described MAYHEM as a strong return to the singer’s legendary pop roots.
