Killer to me is like, okay, so what I like about Mayhem a lot is that beyond just sort of going and re-indexing her own work, which I do think this is doing very well, it's also re-indexing her influences. Like, I think she's going back to what she, what formed her musical identity. Yeah. So I hear a lot of Prince on this album. I hear a lot of David Bowie on this album.

I hear Michael Jackson on Shadow of a Man. I hear, you know, Blondie. I hear Nine Inch Nails on Perfect Celebrity. Oh, yes. Wait, I heard that too.

Yes, exactly. Exactly. So I think that that's a helpful angle that helps it get past just being like pure Gaga pastiche. Mm-hmm. So that's how I'm thinking about it. So Killa to me is like one of the most, like the songs I least feel like links directly back to old Gaga songs. Like I hear that song and I'm not able to draw one to one like I am with some of the other songs.

I'm like, oh, this is that and that and that. It sounds like Bowie. It sounds like Prince. It's got kind of that wild abandoned, like let's just try something sort of crazy feeling that I really missed from Gaga songs. It's kooky. It's weird. Some of the lyrics are like evidently silly, but I just think like it's so much fun. And like that's the kind of energy I'm looking for in a Gaga song.

So that's a definite standout for me. I also love Zombie Boy, the song that comes after it, which is kind of becoming a little viral on TikTok right now. It's like a sort of disco. It's definitely Bowie. It's definitely a little bit Debbie Harry. It's also kind of got that like kooky Halloween core thing that was a core Gaga, early Gaga thing. Like Bad Romance, like kind of a Halloween classic.
