Lady Gaga announces March release for new album ‘Mayhem’

By MARK KENNEDY

NEW YORK (AP) — Expect some mayhem this spring, courtesy of Lady Gaga.

The Grammy-winning songwriter and actor will release her seventh studio album March 7, which press materials say will explore “themes of chaos and transformation.” The 14-track album will be titled “Mayhem.”

It will follow last year’s “Harlequin,” a companion album for the film “Joker: Folie à Deux” that stalled at No. 20 on the Billboard 200. Two of the early singles from “Mayhem” have done well, with “Disease” hitting No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and “Die With a Smile,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, spending three weeks at No. 1.

“This is probably the most clear I have felt in about a decade for myself just personally. I feel more on my game with this music than I have in a really long time,” she told The Associated Press last year. “When you’re feeling clear and healthy and happy, I feel like that’s when your art can really fly.”

According to the announcement, “‘Mayhem’ reinvents her early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective.”

Lady Gaga will debut the third single and accompanying music video from “Mayhem” on Sunday, airing during a commercial break at the Grammy Awards.

She also is slated to join artists including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell at Thursday’s FireAid benefit for the people and communities devastated by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Freezing rain, ice threaten North Jersey and Hudson Valley, NYC to get mostly rain

Freezing rain and small accumulations of ice could hit northern parts of New Jersey and the southern Hudson Valley on Sunday night, meteorologists said. The new winter weather threat followed several inches of snow that fell from Friday night into Saturday morning. Though the snowstorm blanketed the five boroughs , temperatures in New York City are expected to remain high enough Sunday to avoid wintery conditions. “Temperatures along the immediate coast, including the NYC metro, are expected to inch just above freezing,” National Weather Service forecasters wrote Sunday. “When rain develops just after dark, [precipitation] here is expected to be mainly rain at onset.” But north and northwest of the city, temperatures will be cold enough to create freezing rain and small amounts of ice, according to the National Weather Service. The highest chance of ice was in Orange and Putnam counties in New York, Warren and Morris counties in New Jersey and Fairfield and New Haven counties in ...
