Lady Gaga - Mayhem

The complete 180 I’ve had with Vanish Into You… I think it was just a very jarring experience after the four preceding songs (that belting intro didn’t help dd), but it’s really hitting hard on this hungover and fragile Saturday!

I went through the exact same journey with Vanish Into You. There’s so much going on it sounds a bit overwhelming at first but if you stick with it all the layers and little details reveal themselves and now it sounds so lush and full.

For me it works loads better after Shadow Of A Man. I don’t get the same jump scare I get when it comes after Perfect Celebrity.

I'd rather this not happen. Abracadabra has shown that with the right rollout and effort she can still get a hit with a very Gaga solo song. We've had Ari, we've had Blackpink, we've had Bruno. Lets just let the rest of the Mayhem era (lets be honest its probably already over) be Gaga doing her Gaga thing alone.

She mentioned on her radio channel that she envisions a video for Killah, and as she has called it her favorite a few times now, I could see that being the requisite 'make a video for it but its not a single' from this album that each of her albums now get apparently.
You’re not wrong, but I think pre-album singles are much easier to push and succeed with than post due to there being no surprise or “newness”. I am honestly down for any song being a single, but there just seems to be too much opportunity to let this song slide.

Something I’ve noticed is that she’s finally found the right way to use her chest voice and belts without sounding… like Longlegs. She used to exaggerate her vocals to make them sound fuller, which put me off a bit—especially in your Dopes and your Till It Happens to You. But now, with the way her voice has matured and a refined vocal technique, she truly sounds her best. Her singing has gained a meatier, more resonant quality—still massive, but now much more pleasant and controlled.
