Despite the successful presentations of Katy Perry in the MTV VMAS 2024 and in the Festival Rock in Riothe American singer is already facing her first reviews After the release of his new album, titled 143.
On Friday, September 20, the interpreter of Firework y Dark Horse released his seventh studio musical work, but several media outlets have referred to it in harsh terms, showing that His latest singles have not convinced critics.
The first glimpse of this album on television could be seen during their performance at the Video Music Awardswhere he presented two singles: I’m His, He’s Mine, with the surprise appearance of Doechii, and Lifetimes.
“I set out to create a bold, exuberant and festive dance-pop album with the symbolic numerical expression 143 of love as the main message“explained the artist, confessing that the title is a numerical code that meant I love you in the 90s.
The unfavorable reviews that Katy Perry’s new album received
Among the criticisms he received Katy Perry is the one in the middle Variety, who maintained that “the album is flat, gliding over cascades of lyrical clichés and musical ideas that rarely reach their full potential”.
For its part, the portal Independent stated: “The sense of humor that propelled Perry to international stardom is replaced by a weariness (or perhaps wariness) toward the industry it once dominated.”
This medium was joined by The Guardian, who explained that “it gives the feeling of being a little out of time, of being a mediocre and ordinary pop album with the misfortune of being scheduled after Charli xcx’s Brat, The Rise and Chappell Roan’s Fall of a Midwest Princess and Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet, a trio of messily inventive and hugely successful albums that, taken together, suggest that a certain raising of the bar for pop has occurred.”
However, one of the sharpest criticisms was made by Los Angeles Timeswho stated: “The problem for Perry is that these songs are bad, and not even in a funny way. 143 is a strangely dance-pop album cold with boring melodies, utilitarian beats and vocal performances that seem vaguely AI-derived.”
These are just some of the comments that have been made following the recent release of Katy Perry’s new album that premiered in September of this year.
