Seriously wtf Yesterday I asked Alexa for Woman's World and she replied "This Is Katy Perry on Spotify" and Wide Awake started. I went in to check the playlist and her damn first single isn't there. I said, maybe tomorrow they'll add it. I asked Alexa the same thing again a moment ago and the same thing happened as yesterday.

goldstargay Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Her team couldn't' find a single gay to tell them this was a flop? this is not 2016, on the back of two flop albums Katy can't afford to release a "buzz single" or a "reintroduction single" she needed to come out of the gate with an absolute, undeniable, ear worm BOP and this is..... flat, reductive and just not good. What a mess. 6

bliaz Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I like the song, but it's unavoidable to look at what's going on around it. She asked for it 2

ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted July 12 ATRL Moderator Posted July 12 I’m just so sad, this release is so embarrassing for her. I was really hyped for her comeback and wanted a Never Really Over / Harleys in Hawaii / 365 type of bop and what we got is just a disappointing disaster instead. I cancelled my album preorder too, this song took away my last piece of hype I could have had for this era. 6 1 4
Truth Teller Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Y'all will probably come around to it, this is an undeniable hook. Really wish she made that with someone else... The video is bad though. She needs to, for once, just serve cvnt and leave the Adam Sandler humor behind. I did smile at the I'm Katy Perry from the helicopter but the rest was not needed. One of her helpers needs to find what switch was activated in her brain before Walking On Air SNL performance and leave it permanently on. 3 3

xtino Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Defying all sense of taste, the pop singer's comeback single is too dispiriting to even approach camp. It's abysmal. There is nobody better at committing to the bit than Katy Perry. When singing in Simlish, she puts her whole diamond into it. Her Vegas residency, launched in 2021 during the absolute nadir of her career, featured an extended setpiece in which she interacted with a giant toilet. Sometimes, the universe completes the bit for her: "The One That Got Away" was the only single from her gargantuan 2010 album Teenage Dream that didn't reach No. 1 on the Hot 100. She is pop music's Jenna Maroney, meeting every challenge with a vacant stare and nothing less than 150% commitment. This is Perry's greatest strength as well as her fatal flaw. When she half-asses something, you can really tell: Rhyming "trouble" with "bubble" would be a slam-dunk on a track about a sexy foam party, but Katy wasted it on a reggae song about the dangers of technology, or whatever. But when it comes to politics, Perry just seems bored, so much so that a comeback single titled "Woman's World" seems like a foregone conclusion. And yet, when she describes women as "so intelligent," she sings it in this halting, unintentionally patronizing rhythm that leaves you no choice but to assume she's being sarcastic. Now that's a good bit. With its pulsating synths and steamroller chorus, "Woman's World" is clearly modeled on Lady Gaga's 2020 single "Stupid Love," a brazen return to form that successfully launched Gaga into the second act of her career. There seems to have been a miscalculation, though: "Stupid Love" worked not because of its sound but because it took the core elements of Gaga's music—slightly nonsensical lyrics, acid-trip concept, a general struggle with vowels—and turned them up to 11. It's mystifying why Perry would have chosen to mount her comeback with a vaguely political song—you just get the sense that she just doesn't really like or care about this stuff. Even if "Woman's World" didn't sound like its author had to have feminism explained to her by the top half of the first page of Google, its message of empowerment would have rang false, simply because it was co-written and co-produced by Dr. Luke, the producer Keshaaccused, in a since-dismissed lawsuit, of sexual assault and emotional abuse—allegations he denied. It's sincerely twisted, if unsurprising—I generally believe you have to be at least be something of an amoral hypocrite to be a celebrity or pop star, and fair play to those willing to do it—but it also reveals "Woman's World" to be even more of a monumental catastrophe: If Perry was willing to cop the built-in bad press of making a song about women's lib with an alleged abuser, shouldn't the song at least be a banger? Instead, it's unfathomably tepid, irritating at best. In the immortal words of Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, uttered moments before she died: "Katy Perry, please stop." the dragging she's getting is just 💀😭 9 1

perfect blue Posted July 12 Posted July 12 The fact that one of Luke's flop neverbeen minions SNOW WIFE just released a better song than Woman's World today. He truly resents the fact that she had to distance herself from him and must secretly hate her.

Here's the thing though, the chorus is good, but to get there, you have to suffer through 2 horrifically bad verses. Like some of the worst I've heard in years. I honestly think they should have just thrown a third chorus in the beginning instead of the teasing one line in the distance. But then that problem is the chorus already is the same line repeated for 3 out of the 4 lines, so throwing in a third chorus might have made it nails on a chalkboard for listeners. A disaster.
perfect blue Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Can y'all go bully Bradford Cobb on instagram for allowing this monstrosity?
