Mayhem is the third studio album by Irish rockabilly musician Imelda May, released on 3 September 2010 on Decca Records.

Performing to an audience that included Jeff Beck, Elbow and Roots Manuva, May gained further recognition in the United Kingdom.

After touring throughout the world promoting Love Tattoo, May took a short break before entering the studio to record Mayhem.

[9] The recording of the album took two weeks in total and production was completed in late summer 2010 at Electric Mastering.

Less than a month later, May began a short tour of the United Kingdom which included five shows[14] and while in London, was featured on Weekend Wogan on BBC Radio 2.

An expanded version of the album entitled More Mayhem was released in September 2011, featuring six bonus tracks.

Kevin Le Gendre of BBC Music described May as "an imperious, take-no-prisoners personality who can certainly electrify a tune with the tigerish yelps and whoops that run deep into the marrow of the blues",[4] The Telegraph praised "the lyrical wit of the songs and a subtle variance in musical shading",[3] and Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian highlighted the songs on the album, stating that "she [May] brings them to passionate, reverb-drenched life on an album that positions her as one of 2010's more interesting finds.
