Lady Gaga returns to dance-pop roots in "Mayhem."
Lady Gaga has released her new album, "Mayhem." Critics say it marks a return to her roots in dance music. The album follows her recent work with jazz standards. It features nods to her past hits, including a line that recalls “Bad Romance.” One track, “Perfect Celebrity,” is described as a fresh take on “Paparazzi.” After mixed success in her career, Gaga's new work aims to remind fans of her original style. Jason Isbell's latest album, "Foxes in the Snow," showcases a more vulnerable side of the artist. Following a difficult divorce from fiddler Amanda Shires, Isbell recorded this collection of songs in just five days. Despite being described as a divorce album, it explores themes of grief and new beginnings. Critics highlight Isbell’s ability to balance painful memories with messages of hope and growth. Astropical has made a memorable debut with their self-titled album. The project features members from two famous rock en español bands. Their sound blends various influences, including African and Caribbean rhythms with electronic music. The opening track, “Brinca (Acuario),” showcases the contrasting vocal styles of the two frontpersons. Critics praise the album for celebrating lesser-known Caribbean genres, creating a lively atmosphere perfect for spring and summer.
