GRAMMY-WINNING pop star Lady Gaga’s seventh studio album Mayhem drops tomorrow.

The singer started teasing the creation in May last year through her concert film Gaga Chromatica Ball, which included a snippet of one of the songs.

The first single Disease released in October, followed by Abracadabra last month.

The two songs showcase Gaga reviving the pop sound that she’s most known for, as she tackles a dark aesthetic with heavy electronic dance production.

“The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” she said in an interview, adding that the process felt like ‘reassembling a shattered mirror’, which is a concept that is represented through the cover.

“Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

The singer also mentioned that the project is set to lyrically tackle the concept of ‘duality’.

The artist produced the album alongside Andrew Watt, Gesaffelstein (Mike Lévy) Cirkut (Henry Russell Walter) and fiancé Michael Polansky.

The Italian-American is known for her versatility in entertainment.

She last portrayed Harley Quinn in the DC film Joker: Folie a Deux (2024).
