Katy Perry - 143

[Drew]

It's hilarious to me that she is putting out another Luke track because that's all she got on this album and she's got no other choice at this point but to double down despite it being the biggest problem people are having with this new music.

She has songs with Max and Stargate too.

Well then i'm just wondering why she didn't take the anti-Luke sentiment about Woman's World and feature one of those songs next then. I get "unbothered"... but also like, maybe she should be bothered.

Since she seemingly has a video for "Lifetimes" ready, then we could assume she's already picked what songs are coming out. Luke is also pretty known for his contracts regarding his work on albums, so he's always going to have a priority release for singles. More than likely it'll be what she's played previews of, so it'll probably go something like:

Woman's World
Lifetimes
Nirvana
I'm His, He's Mine

 

[goldsoundz]

Either she signed a deal with him saying she would release three of his songs as singles before they made them, or his songs are the only ones that sound single-friendly.

 

[1991]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he's contracted to have the first two singles. Yet another reason (among the obvious) why she should've done the entire album with God Martin!

 

[Haynes]

She said she's releasing two or three more songs (after "Woman's World") before September 20th.

An onslaught of garbage in such a short space of time! Great!!!

This approach just screams 'let's throw shit at the wall and see if something sticks'.

Surely you're not still getting a dopamine rush from these types of replies. I don't understand why incessant shitposting isn't moderated.

Not at all, it's just that everything I've heard so far sounds bloody awful. I genuinely love a lot of Katy Perry's back catalogue and I was rooting for a good comeback, as I'm sure a lot of us were. But how can you expect people to remain optimistic about the album when the music is this bad?

Also, I've posted in this thread a total of 5 times. I'd hardly call that 'incessant'.

 

[Blond]

It’s incredibly Love Island going to bed montage coded (but I don’t hate it).

 

[UltimatColossus]

It sounds like perfectly inoffensive pop. Which is kind of ironic because the situation surrounding it is very offensive.

Rooting against shitty music produced by a rapist isn't shitposting.

 

[Joe.]

It’s not horrible like the Woman’s World verses are but it won’t do anything, especially in America. She wasted all the first single attention on Woman’s World. She really needed a non-Luke song out next.

 

[blaze_dave]

It is very generic, which wouldn't be bad if she actually sounded like she was invested. She just sounds bored. Will see if the full track is better.

Better than getting a dopamine rush from defending and liking music made by a rapist.

 

[4Roses]

Wasting all her goodwill just to reteam with him for a reheated Stupid Love and an insipid, prosaic house track….

 

[HairBodyFace]

Luke aside....Lifetimes sounds better than Woman's World, but pretty basic? If they want something to actually do something, I don't get why they won't pick one of the non-Luke songs or something that stands out a little more.

 

[devilpray]

As many said before, if instead of Gentrified Chromatica this album was more One of the Boys 2.0 it would have done soooooo much better. That's the type of music that suits her voice.

 

[Suburbia]

I heard Daisies in a shop and was reminded how she had the perfect comeback song and everyone slept on it plus bad timing I guess.

 

[sesita]

As a pop fan, this is going to be a fascinating campaign to witness and study. Like a fungus!

 

[Mirwais Ahmadzaï]

I know it's a matter of pulling from the same reference points, but should Romy see her in court over some of this art direction? Did Capitol watch Camila ape Caroline's artwork and think, "I can do that too, kinda?" sksks

(I'm mostly noting that the KP logo just makes me want to listen to Mid Air.)
