March has finally arrived, bringing with it a suite of stunning new tracks from some of the biggest stars in music — but which ones are your favorites this week?
After five years of waiting, Little Monsters everywhere rejoiced Friday (March 7) as Lady Gaga finally unveiled her long-awaited seventh studio album Mayhem. Featuring her previously released tracks “Abracadabra,” “Disease” and the Bruno Mars-assisted “Die With a Smile,” Mayhem sees Gaga returning to her dance-pop roots while still experimenting with new sounds. As she told Billboard this week, “[it’s not] exactly what you’ve heard from me before, but there is the DNA of my approach to pop music.”
