Musician Lady Gaga has released a new live project, "Mayhem Requiem," via the Apple Music streaming platform.
The album, which was recorded during a cell phone-free concert held in January at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, is a "reimagining" of her 2025 album "Mayhem" through different arrangements.
The album was accompanied by a concert film, which had one-off screenings in select cinemas yesterday.
In a press release released before the album's release, "Mayhem Requiem" was described as "the final chapter of the Mayhem era", in which Gaga plays "the phantom of her own Gothic opera".
Each song received a modified - and in many cases significantly more theatrical - arrangement. The synth-pop song "How Bad Do U Want Me" was transformed into a more classical ballad, while "Abracadabra" began as a simple piano etude.
Since the release of the album "Mayhem", her first studio release since 2020's "Chromatica", the singer has been intensively engaging with fans around the world through a major tour.
This included a huge free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro last year.
She also performed at the MTV Video Music Awards, danced salsa during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, covered "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and contributed several songs to the soundtrack of "The Devil Wears Prada 2", including the song "Runway" with Doechii.
"Mayhem" won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, where Gaga performed the song "Abracadabra" with former Foo Fighters drummer and current Nine Inch Nails member Josh Frize.
