We can always count on Lady Gaga to rock our world with her new music, and she did it again with Mayhem. She created a lot of buzz with her latest album, and here are five songs from this record that immediately became a viral sensation.
“Abracadabra”
As the viral memes suggest, “Abracadabra” saw Gaga reheat her own nachos and fully embrace the dance-pop sound and theatrical choreography of her earlier musical eras.
“Disease”
“Disease” didn’t get the attention it deserved when it was initially released as the lead single from Mayhem, but it perfectly captures the experimental nature and themes of Gaga’s latest LP.
“Garden of Eden”
Mayhem draws inspiration from many of Gaga’s early albums, from The Fame to Artpop, and no song encapsulates this better than the dance-pop anthem “Garden of Eden”.
“Perfect Celebrity”
“Paparazzi”-coded “Perfect Celebrity” is one of the standouts of Mayhem, and it sees Gaga exploring the dark side of fame while embracing the elements of grunge of trip hop.
“Die with a Smile” ft. Bruno Mars
The Bruno Mars duet “Die with a Smile” is one of Gaga’s biggest hits in recent memory, but her decision to include it on Mayhem left many of her fans puzzled since it doesn’t exactly match its style.
