Cover or album katy perry witness12/15/2023 Its like one of those retro 2000's dance tracks. One of the first ballads on the album - Super catchy but not my fave - This sounds like standard Katy Perry. Trop-pop auto-tune, sparse beats really gives me the feels - very atmospheric - sounds great! Love! More of the 90's house doing it for me. LOVE! the throwback to snaps rhythm is a dancer - the epics chorus beat drop! LOVE! Super disappointed with this. Just a filler song. Loving this album - Not a big Katy fan - this new Katy sounds is very sleek and sexy. If she actually works hard on becoming a better writer and performer, I think a Witness sequel could actually be her best album, or at least offer an alternative to Teenage Dream. Overall: very uneven and unusual album, Katy is trying to branch out from her old schlock but hasn't upped her lyrical/vocal/melodic chops to go with it. I wish someone would edit Katy's lyrics because they're not all bad, they're just really unpolished. The thought behind the song is nice, though. Into Me You See - I lost it at open sesame. Pendulum - Not bad, I like the gospel choir. I thought this would be a total cringe-fest but it was actually great. Save As Draft - ONE OF THE BEST CHORUSES ON THIS ALBUM. Migos is unnecessary.īigger Than Me - I like vaguely political Katy but the melody is forgettable. The song doesn't pick up until the second verse and final chorus, which is actually boppin'. Tsunami - The instrumental is very cool, but the chorus melody is weak.īon Appetit - Ehhhhhhhh. a few years ago.Ĭhained To The Rhythm - Vague song about fake news! Still a bop! And I still love Skip Marley's verse. Miss You More - Prism-ballad throwback.I could see this being a single. this is the musical representation of the album cover. Mind Maze - ?/10 what the hell is this song. Her voice actually sounds good for once, like you can see why in the beginning of her career people thought she was a good singer. The sexy sax in the background of the chorus. Power - This song is a mess and I love it for it. But it's boppin' otherwise.ĭeja Vu - Everyone loves it but it's so underwhelming to me. Swish Swish - Wish it had more of the piano. smh Katy making a 2008-era Gaga throwback before Gaga. Roulette - The unreleased Fame outtake we deserved. But it’s not until the penultimate track, when Jeff Bhasker (currently a hero for his Harry Styles sonic makeover) steps in for one lone track, the infectious “Pendulum,” that your ears perk up, because it has some swing to the rhythm and, with a real bass player and choir, sounds like it was actually touched by human hands.Hey Hey Hey - Elementary level girl power stuff. He brings his B+ game to the five tracks he takes a primary producer credit on. Luke, the previous mainstay of her career, is gone, and with him the slight rock edge he brought to guitar-driven tracks like “Teenage Dream.” The only holdover from her previous hits at all, at least for more than a song, is executive producer Max Martin. “Witness” is by far Perry’s most electronic album – ready-to-wear cuts for the clubs, minimal remixing required – but for the thump-thump-thump pop radio of 2017, not the ages. And you do get a hint of that awareness or humility, eventually, in “Bigger Than Me.” It’s just slightly ironic that in the album’s first single, “Chained to the Rhythm,” she took some subtle digs at a narcotized population that just wanted to dance through the election, because for most of the rest of this album, she’s pretty chained to the rhythm herself. Not even three songs into “Witness,” you might be asking, wasn’t this supposed to be Perry’s socially conscious album? “It’s a new era for me … of purposeful pop,” she recently promised, referencing the trauma of the 2016 election, which influenced her new music.
