Katy Perry - Bandaids

[ButterTart]

Yeah

View attachment 38755

I've just realised this is a reference to '143' and not because the single cover puts you in mind of Mike Myers in The Love Guru.

 

[Suedehead]

Annie updates?

 

[Pipo]

Annie updates?

yes. Apparently her new single BANDAIDS is coming exactly ONE year, FOUR months, and THREE days since Woman's World (SEXY! CONFIDENT!)

 

[Dark Carnival]

 

[jivafox]

Oh she's doing comedy

 

[ZenGiraffe]

As a metaphor for her career, it's a bit ON THE NOSE

 

[Jark]

We might need to get a plunger, because this is an excellent (if DERIVATIVE) staff list

also fake produced by Justin Tranter

 

[Penelope]

Don't forget that Max Martin just produced that awful Taylor Swift album, so he's not exactly on a HOT RUN.

 

[Penelope]

also fake produced by Justin Tranter

Oh

 

[ZenGiraffe]

also fake produced by Justin Tranter

Well her FLUSHING looks safe then

 

[Jark]

he did this Demi banger!



I think this will be good. video looks awful obviously.

 

[Suedehead]

Alternate artwork revealed

 

[ZenGiraffe]

At least it clears the low low bar of being better than anything on 143

 

[GNL]

I quite like this but it's like a nice album track and not a lead single to me.

 

[GNL]

Still, nice to have as there was approximately one nice album track last time around and it was left off the album.

 

[Berly]

She must know this is not good

 

[supermassive]

 

[supermassive]

Even if it is Katy Perry, does anyone really want to watch a sadistic pop music video of a woman being bloodied and harmed over and over?

 

[Jark]

I'm not clicking play on that but the song feels like it'll grow. the mixing is very loud though.

 

[Joseph]

 

[Finn]

I quite like the song (not the vocals) and the video is great. If only she'd WORN SLIP ON SHOES come back with this last year instead

 

[Dark Carnival]

FLUSH

 

[PercyPig]

Final Destination now ruined by her AI pastiche

Wicked.

 

[jivafox]

The vocals are so disgusting that anything about the song is moot

 

[rhythmbandit]

We were perr-fect, til we were-ent. Now we've got too many splintuurrrs.

Good grief.

 

[Halli]

I saw just a short clip this morning and my god she was shouting the vocals in a very unpleasant way. I'll have a proper listen later.

 

[VoR]

She really needs to calm down on the botox. It's giving circa 07 Minogue sister.

 

[jivafox]

 

[ButterTart]

She’s always had one of those Cilla Black voices where she can hit the note but sound awful doing it. She can carry a tune but carries it in a bucket filled with angry geese.

 

[Pipo]

I understand that with the ongoing tour, she regained a lot of the goodwill she had lost and wanted to capitalize on that by releasing something new and doing some “damage control.”
But this has gone too far, at least the material from 143 was interesting, even if it was SHIT; this is just flat-out boring.

 

[Shoat]

The video is the most self aware she's been for ages.

Driving herself into near car crashes through her own stupidity?

Understanding the audience want to see her mutilated in various ways?

Throwbacks to the two hits that will remind everyone why we love her? SEXYCONFIDENTDAISIESDAISIESDAISIES

[VoR]

For the sake of comparison, this was Woman’s World’s first day:

#58 Global
#108 UK
#110 USA

 

[Jark]

She really needs to calm down on the botox.

hmmmm.

 

[Loufoque]

I'm almost 40 and yes I'm still bitter about 2013 so I hope this flops

I said what I said

Spotify debuts

[Shoat]

But more importantly where is it on the BUBBLING UNDER or HOT 100 ADULT CONTEMPORARY DANCE charts please?

She is going through her UNDERGROUND INDIE phase

 

[rhythmbandit]

#36 in the first look chart, so another missing the top 40 by Friday.

 

[Shoat]

That's honestly better than I think anyone was expecting

GET THAT TRUDEAU PROMO

 

[Jark]

I really like this now. but the second/double chorus is the best part and it's kind of a crime that it doesn't repeat at the end.
