smartalek22 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 A lot of the backlash from Woman's World / the singles run seems to have died down, and Katy basically ignoring it in its peak and pushing through with the era, providing a lot of fan content and working hard on promo / videos is only going to work to her advantage. Of course I don't agree with her producer choice, but the album isn't as terrible as people make it out to be, and is obviously fueled by the massive hate she's getting (which she should know better for). It honestly debuted better than I thought it would, and I see actual potential in some tracks getting some attention / moments. 1
Alaska. Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I'm sure people will praise her for doing 2010s music with surface level feminist lyrics in the 2020s. The album would currently be lauded by critics if Luke wasn't involved 1
leyaris11 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) Stop trying to make 143 happen! It's not going to happen! Edited September 30 by leyaris11 3
Mordecai Posted September 30 Posted September 30 143 is not Witness. It's not an album with hidden gems that are obscured by bad PR. The music just isn't good, and I say that as a Katycat She needs to stop flogging a dead horse and move onto the next album. Have it ready to go with the tour next year 5 1 1
Jay07 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) No, it's genuinely bad. Witness has been reevaluated because it has some good songs and people were unfair to Katy because of the hair but this time it's just bad and she gets no goodwill after working with that person.

K$Ellie Posted September 30 Posted September 30 if anything i think she got lucky with the first week and it'll fall off the charts altogether within a month
alexrex Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) Yes It seems to be Katy's Farewell to her pop star career Edited September 30 by alexrex 4
Gelato Posted September 30 Posted September 30 well no, I'm seeing lots of bragging on Twitter about it getting more pure sales than Smile but that's a terrible thing considering a) there were lots of variants across different mediums and b) it still did 2k fewer units first week

aotwbys Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I think even a year is enough time for people to look back and realize that this album has soul and wasn't half assed. The quality holds up
getback Posted September 30 Posted September 30 it's more enjoyable than Harlequinn for sure so yes she just needs to release CRUSH and then NIRVANA as singles
SpaceOddity Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Best case scenario people forget about it and she rushes to the studio for a different record next year but that's 100% not going to happen.
Peroxide Posted September 30 Posted September 30 If I was Katy… I'd wrap up promo on the record quickly and then invest all my efforts into suprise dropping a truly exceptional pop album. It needs to be her folklore moment… but be in the vein of something like Carly's EMOTION.
DREAMERS Posted September 30 Posted September 30 When "WONDER" becomes a viral hit on TikTok it's over for everybody else tbh
