Hackensack is so beautiful. Also The One That Got Away Acoustic is just stunning.
She has some properly amazing songs, but it feels this album will not house any new additions to that, no matter who produced them.

I just wished she did a "Joanne" or a "Golden" - a reset in between pop albums, an album not trying to be on trend or forcing something, just good songwriting, nice visuals etc. Maybe it would not have been a big chart success but it could have been a reminder of her craft. I was sceptical from the moment on I saw these Charlie XCX like promo shots.
I think that's probably what she'll do next, a more "grown-up"/AC-leaning/P!nk-y type of album with some solid potential radio hits. After this era I feel like we're probably never seeing "bangers for the gays" Katy again, for better or worse.
If this is the way forward she can just go back on American Idol nn.
She mentioned that. It’s technically a good idea but I’m a bit scared of Katy Perry The Songwriter by now. Both Witness and Smile had quite a few dramatically bad lyrics.
Why do people always seem to want an acoustic Katy Perry album? I know her current soundscape isn't working but I can't think of anything that excites me less ddd
Like just... make bops with the right people and come back with something fresh and fun.

I mean, she shines in that environment. Also still think people are using “acoustic” to say they want her to return to her singer/songwriter roots where there was less emphasis on production. And I’m sure that’s probably what Katy means when she says it. Just like her calling 143 a dance album when it just means there’s no ballads. Doesn’t necessarily mean she needs to be plucking away at an acoustic guitar for an entire project.
It’s valid to want a more singer-songwriter Katy Perry record when she has the likes of Thinking of You, Lost, I’m Still Breathing, The One That Got Away and Wide Awake in her arsenal.
Katy's singer/songwriter and pop/rock stuff really showed what set her apart and made her unique. The clunky lyrics just worked because the whole vibe had that quirky quality to it.
With how distinct her lyrics used to be, it's insane that this is the same woman who is now giving us the lyrics we've heard from this album

I'm curious what she'll do if and when commercial dominance is firmly off the table. I mean...we could argue it already was, but I do think maybe reception to this album is cementing that Smile and Witness weren't simply bumps on the road or mere misfires. Does she have any ambitions as a music artist beyond being a hitmaker? I would've argued maybe she did before this album's...offerings.

There was a video of her and Daisy signing some art cards so I assume they'll be done by her.

It was sold out and restocked a few times.
I think they meant Golden by Kylie. So she probably does have the range for that…if that was the aim.
It shouldn’t be.
