    • Lady Gaga is back in frenetic but fantastic form with her electrifying new LP. The 14-time Grammy winner released her latest album, “MAYHEM,” on Friday. The 14-track project arrives as the singer-songwriter’s seventh solo studio album, almost five years after 2020’s “Chromatica.” In the intervening time, Gaga’s musical output has included the remix project “Dawn Of Chromatica,” a Grammy-winning collaboration album with Tony Bennett, work on the soundtracks of the films “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Joker: Folie à Deux” and her 2024 release “Harlequin.” Now back with a more traditional album rollout to accompany “MAYHEM,” Gaga has unleashed a 53-minute body of work that is undoubtedly her finest record in more than a decade – an artistic achievement made possible by returning to the avant-garde dance tracks and unconventional lyrics that made her a superstar.
