MAYHEM

A chaotic collision of industrial grit and analog warmth. This record finds the pop icon embracing internal disorder through heavy synths and raw, live energy.

March 7, 2025 · Universal (3)

A bruised, tape-saturated friction grates against the polished machinery of modern pop on this seventh studio album. Recorded at the Shangri-La Studio in Malibu, the music thrives on a volatile duality, pairing the cold, mechanical pulse of industrial dance with the raw, sun-drenched warmth of a dusty upright piano. The record operates as a controlled explosion, deliberately scuffing its massive, club-ready anthems with vintage synthesizers and vocal takes that crack under pressure.

Moments Worth Listening For

01DiseaseOn 'Disease', the production pairs a heavy, distorted industrial-pop beat with a frantic vocal delivery that mimics a feverish panic.

The album's recording sessions at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La Studio in Malibu directly influence the tactile, live-instrumentation warmth that offsets the electronic grit.
