Lady Gaga is pounding the promotional pavement in support of her new album ‘Mayhem.’
And her latest promotional stop, an interview with The New York Times, sees Mother Monster wax candid about her headspace while piecing together the project’s predecessor – 2020’s ‘Chromatica.’
Full story below…
Home to hits such as top 10 ‘Stupid Love’ and chart-topper ‘Rain on Me’ with Ariana Grande, the LP found favor with fans of the multihyphenate singer at a time when much of the industry shut down due to the global health crisis.
However, the star has revealed that it wasn’t an easy window for her and she appears to allude to “interesting” feelings about the music she created within it.
Speaking on the timeframe during which she crafted the chart-topping LP, Gaga said:
“Maybe over five years ago, I think I was in a really dark place. And I wouldn’t say I made my best music during that time at all. I think ‘Chromatica’ was really hard for me. That was a very authentic dance record that I’m very proud of, and I loved working on that. But it was just a hard time in my life. I think it’s hard to feel deeply authentic when you don’t feel well.”
Scratching beneath the polished veneer of the remarks, it’s clear what Gaga is getting at. And we appreciate the honesty about her true feelings – something few artists are brave enough (or achieved enough) to share.
That said, we enjoyed ‘Chromatica’ (Justice for ‘Babylon’) and feel like it functions as a solid bridge to the more fleshed-out Dance-Pop found on ‘Mayhem.’
In any case, listen to Gaga’s full New York Times interview:

She is always dark and evil. What do expect from someone who attended with a satanist Marina Abramovic’s Cooking Spirit?
In other news… Abracadabra fails to crack into Top 10 😂
Disease flopped hard , Rosè kidnapped Bruno Mars, Joker 2 in the Wal mart bargain bin, and Cowboy Carter debuted higher than Flopham!! 💅
Mayhem- the worst album of 2025. 😆
Once abracadabra payola is done, the album Mayhem will flop mark my words This is a few minutes of relevancy before the albums tankery. She can’t sell her stuff unless its discontinued at 99¢ 🤣
Mayhem is basically Chromatiflop pt2… like it just gets worse and worse as you go down the track-list! K bye.

Girl, please. Dark place? Tuh. You are darkness itself.
Isnt she always in a Dark Place? Chromatica was more fun than this Album though…
It’s official: Cowboy Carter outstreamed her latest Mayflop debut…. 😂
Artists always tell the truth about their previous flops when they are promoting a new project. We don’t trust you because you could’ve told us this while promoting Chrome-Flopica
Not Chrome-Flopica!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Klowns on this site. I went into this album expecting to be kinda underwhelmed, but only the 2nd half was boring. 1st half is Gaga at her best tho
