This is definitely coming for a lower MC score than Justin Timberlake's last album (51). Lower those expectations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tiara Posted 7 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 7 hours ago I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't. Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Chappell Roan avatars and tributes to "Brat" in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Katy" - that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Katy's. "But I know Katy! Witness was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Katy, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performer. The Katy of "143" is Katy as Katy is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then AI generated, then robotic. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's Katheryn Hudson. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is. This is the probably purest attempt Katy has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
