Lady Gaga has made her little monsters very happy with the release of her latest studio album, "Mayhem". After her venture into cinema power-ballads and jazz standards, Gaga has returned to her pop music roots, recapturing the dark-edged, dance vibe from her debut seventeen years ago.
With long-time co-creator, Andrew Watt and more recent collaborators, Cirkut and French DJ, Gesaffelstein, Gaga explores subjects that she touched as a aspiring musician on with her first album; drugs, sex and the dance floor. But now as a more mature and established artist, she returns to these ideas with a seasoned yet far from jaded attitude. We have her relationship with fame, still sweating on the dance floor, sly tributes to some of her early musical inspirations and influences (like the Cure, Yaz, Blondie, David Bowie, and Prince) and finally finding true love. Much like the title, "Mayhem" is a chaotic and messy collection and that's exactly what we love from Gaga.
This past Saturday, Gaga was the host and musical guest on "SNL" where she had the opportunity to display her gifts as an all-around entertainer. Here are a few of my favorite tracks from the album:
