“Mayhem” puts the lie to that idea: Brash, squirmy, full of detailed grooves and expertly crafted hooks, it’s a winning reclamation of her trademark sound — her best since 2011’s “Born This Way” and precisely the album you’d want her to drop before headlining Coachella, as Lady Gaga will do next month.

Lady Gaga will perform her first concert in Mexico in 13 years on April 26 at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City, Live Nation announced on Monday (March 3) in a press release, followed by a post by the pop star on Instagram. “¡Viva La MAYHEM! We’re coming back,” she wrote.

She dances on the line between clever self-referentiality and less inspired rehashing on her new LP, committing to the over-the-top excess that first made her a star.
