NickARTPOP Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) Woman's World is barely scratching charts worldwide, it's out on Spotify, out on itunes, the video is cratering in views, she's gotten abysmal press for her choice of collaborators, the video is dubbed confusing, the song not very good. It's clear at this point it has no future, but it's also left an incredibly dark stain on the new era. What would you do to turn this around? It looks like she plans on teasing some new songs and letting fans choose the next single but will that be enough? What would you do to turn around this era and if not even get a hit, salvage the album and your reputation? Edited July 20 by NickARTPOP
KillingYourCareer Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I would pretend Woman's World didn't exist, scrap it from the album, and hope that my next release does something learning from my mistakes. Alas, she never will! 3 1
Bencharmer Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I would say 143 is a concept album about my aborted sister i-never-met-yet-i-feel-close-to who then ended up into a distant planet totally traumatized Some people would say it's a great idea since it's a concept 5
NothingIsReal Posted July 20 Posted July 20 course correct previous eras with singles: OTTB: Release If You Can Afford Me (Orlando Can Version) TD: Release Hummingbird Heartbeat Prism: Release Legendary Lovers, Walking on Air, Choose Your Battles, Spritual, Witness: Release Power and Tsunami Smile: Release Cry About It Later (Smile's Sales Version) and Tucked 3
єѕℓαм Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Pretend ww never happened and scrap all the songs produced by that rat on her new album and hire Max Martin to produce some songs for her and try a new sound and take risks enough with the childish campy **** it's so ******* tired and cringe
perfect blue Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Scrap the era and start from scratch a la Focus. Ditch Lukasz, Chris Anokute and Bradford Cobb. Reunite with Bonnie McKee and Zedd, hire Max Martin with my own cash to produce another album. 1
burninredhot Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) Annouce retirement which would get her some sympathy from GP and all her fans will start making posts like "The public owes Katy Perry an apology" (like barbz) then act like after she saw all the love online she decided to not retire and went back to the studio. then release a comeback single and album not produced by Dr Luke in 2025 Edited July 20 by burninredhot 1
Into The Void Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Release an even worse song and make people more pressed 3
PerfectCure Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Scrap WW from the album, still keep the 143 concept bc the photoshoot is amazing. Release a statement that working with Dr. Luke on WW was a contractual obligation. Go back in the studio and re-record the whole album with the help of Max Martin and other trendy producers. Release the new lead in late August which is an actually good song which makes the BBH100 top 20.
OnlyManInTheWorld Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Lock myself in my bedroom with Orlando and throw the keys out of the window. 2
Colmillo Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Make music for the arts, not the charts, at the end of the day I'm gonna flop no matter what I release, so at least I'm gonna flop with quality
Paddy Posted July 20 Posted July 20 People suggesting scrapping WW as if that was possible... the damage is done, the vinyls are being pressed as we speak so too late.. Simply hire a good team ASAP to do some damage control. Release bunch of fun videos playing into the WW being an ironic song and take the piss out of yourself. Move on quickly with new single and music video serving quality. Start working on a new "grown up" album, whole new thing, complete opposite of 143 and have it ready for release by January and do a tour promoting both projects showing Katy's growing journey from OOTB to new self.
Junipero Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) If I were Katy, there is nothing left to do with the pressed vinyls of "143." The Dr. Luke stuff seems to only be known amonst the Stan Twitter community, atrl, and the chronically online. They make up how much of fhe US population? Like 0.2%... The problem here is Katy wanted a dance album, but dance music of the kind that Katy is doing is not that popular. Nirvana sounds like a worse version of Kylie's Padam. Dr. Luke did well in 2009 with "Tik Tok" because it sounded digital and was heavily layered, and "Teenage Dream" (the song) was pop-rock with a lot of guitars. But the current "dance" sound Dr. Luke is doing sounds bad... "Gimme Gimme" to me sounds like the most potential because: dance music is not hot right now, and it has 21 Savage who is better than Katy with streams, and she could pick up a new streaming audience. Lifetimes as a single will not help the album, and I doubt Nirvana will either. If I were Katy I would tell Dr. Luke(because there is no going back now) to "steal"/trendchase the Chapell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter sound and make new music based on their popular tracks(before people attack me, Teenage Dream album was also blatant trend-chasing as well). Then, those new stolen/trendchasing tracks can just be placed on a deluxe edition of "143" and hope that the new songs save the album, because I doubt the record label is going to shelve anything so far(because they probably invested lots of money so far) Edited July 20 by Junipero 1
Sheep Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) Katy's biggest problem is her image. It's been obvious since Prism that both she and Capitol are confused about what the public wants and/or expects from her. Her brand was always heavily campy with a little edge, just like WW, but there was a girl-next-door relatability and sincerity to OOTB/TD that's been completely missing since. Every attempt to recapture that vibe has alternated between looking manufactured and corporatized or far too vulnerable to the point of being uncomfortable or even voyeuristic, neither of which synergize with her core brand. Nobody other than cats seems to understand or care when or why Katy is just doing something for the fun of it anymore and it makes her artistic choices read as cringey instead of playful. What she needs is a reintroduction to the public that ONLY showcases her generational songwriting talent and genuinely underrated vocals, and then slowly builds back to the full Katy Perry experience. She's always been an extremely similar artist to Gaga and Gaga had to embark on a similar campaign before the public was willing to let her back into stadiums or onto the top of the charts again for similar reasons. The public just doesn't understand or identify with her anymore, if she can win them back there will be a mass re-appraisal of Witness and Smile and her legend status will be cemented.
