After years of rumors about her long-awaited ‘LG7,’ on Monday (January 27) Lady Gaga finally shared the official title and release date for her seventh studio album, Mayhem, which will drop on March 7. Following a days-long countdown clock on Gaga’s website, she shared the striking album art for Mayhem – featuring the singer sporting a black shag haircut behind a pane of cracked glass – along with pre-order links for the record and a new merch line. Gaga also revealed that the third single from her new 15-track record will be released on February 2, with a music video airing during a commercial break on the Grammy Awards broadcast. “The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” said Gaga in a statement. She explained that creating Mayhem was like “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.” (Rolling Stone)
