I think 143 is gonna be her actual flop era….

I know I defended Katy on Woman's World, but after listening to the snippets it's not looking too great. Katy seems to want to get back her mainstream relevance through promotions. I think it's apparent that Katy wants that success because she's been actively promoting this album. There's a heavy emphasis on TikTok which is great, but capitol's strategy is terrible. Her team seems to think that TikTok will bring her a viral moment through the dance snippet at the end. TikTok is not really a dance app now. Dances go viral, but the majority of viral songs are viral because of the chorus or the bridge. She would've found success in 2019 but she's 4-5 years too late.

Now to the snippets; Nirvana, Lifetime, Gorgeous, Gimme Gimme. I don't think that they are awful. They sound decent but they are NOT groundbreaking at all. The songs sound dated and sound like they belong in 2010-2019. I believe that the problem is that they don't have a new sound to them while keeping the nostalgia. Lifetime sounds like a song Avicii made and gorgeous is trying to sound sickening but it’s really just generic. Gimme Gimme sound like it belongs in 2017. It’s giving bon appetit and black widow vibes with trap.

I don’t think we need this type of music in 2024. Katy isn’t going to get her flowers moment or espresso moment that she deserves. The GP isn’t looking for this generic music. They want Katy’s escapism pop. I think Katy’s just hopping on music trends years too late.

Club culture is dying now. These would’ve hit at a club years ago. It’s just gonna be played on a playlist and forgotten.
