ngl, this album has grown on me, I also heard "I'm His, He's Mine" in the club, and it was so goodddd
Tati
I'm not going lie the song Gorgeous should of had Blackpink Lisa. That beat and sound is right in her lane. Could of been an easy hit song overseas if she picked that feature.
darko
her worst songwriting ever sadly 😭 even smile had better lyrics. the hooks are okay but it feels tired atp, the fact that she hasn't been able to expand her sound at all is shocking to me, you'd never see something like this from beyonce, gaga, madonna, mariah etc.. artists that make sure their MUSIC is as good as their social media promotion and looks 🤷♂️ no offense i like a lot of katy songs but this is a fail for me
Noah Kosta
You know the album flopped when Dee saved some because she’s “desperate” for new music I’m dead because foreal same 😂😂
Kyle Frost
i actually had no plans on listening to this but now ima go save a couple tracks too 😂
Omar_q8
People are extra this album is good i like 😂😂😂😂😂
Dee Shanell
Lol fr, it is giving family outing vibes but I like it 😂
Dee Shanell
Hey Skai, thanks for joining! And yes the cover art and other promo visuals I saw were eatinggg, made me think she was gonna SLAY this album so it was a bit misleading ngl 😂
Dee Shanell
I thought I was trippin when I mentioned this in the vid, I'm not crazy about her voice either lol it's not terrible, but just a bit screechy at times. Wasn't a big fan of the songs where she stressed her vocals
Najwah Tillman
lifetimes sound like its going to be played in a amusement park/water splash fun park
Skai
Hey Dee, finally joined ur patreon and I completely agree this album just felt forced and put together. The better songs to me had like the Doechii & Kim Petras collab. Without these features idk how this album would have sounded. It's a shame bc the cover art is so good, you think she would be coming back with more
Lancecaster
her producer was Dr. Luke who worked on her old stuff so you're right lol kinda funny how changing producers can rlly affect how an album sounds
....
I couldn’t get into this album at all. I don’t like her singing at all, it’s just I felt like her singing was lazy, but maybe it’s just her music. Her voice just never amazed, to the point I feel like she’s not even trying. This album kinda sounds like her old music. I feel like this album would be popular in late 2010s, to me:
BNH
Haha as you SHOULD! I'm also a sucker for catchy songs and don't mind listening to disposable music every now and then. Because I feel as though genuine disappointment only comes when you have expectations. And since I've known for a while that Katy is no longer an artist. I didn't have any hopes or expectations for this album. To me, the mediocrity wasn't surprising. It's been a long time coming...
Josh B
I mean its not bad but damn Katy ain’t have no type of personality interesting production choices or anything its just too basic especially if you compare it to her old work
jarred🇬🇧
Same! We can all still move and vibe to some songs and projects and acknowledge it’s not great, like ice spices album for me😂
Dee Shanell
Lol facts, I feel you! I like basic bops I can move to though so it's doing the job for me 🤣
Dee Shanell
Well said. I agree, which is why I stated that I expected more from an artist of her status. She's such a veteran in this space so it was a bit surprising that this album lacked substance and innovation so heavily. But all that aside, I'm a sucker for catchy songs, so I'm now enjoying this album more than I thought I would 😂
Dee Shanell
Lmao right! I ain't neva heard of that before 😂
jarred🇬🇧
I don’t mind this album it’s just basic, like girl did you and that (alleged) abuser not come up with anything more interesting? It’s ok and It has a few basic bops I can move to but that’s it. I do feel like some people are making it seem like the worst album ever which idk about that but it is pretty average as a whole😂
BNH
Katy is stuck in a creative limbo. It seems she wants to rehash the style of music that made her famous while also wanting to make something trendy and current. This dichotomy makes the album fall flat and have no conceptual focus or artistic vision. Some of the songs are catchy but they're faceless and nondescript. I can imagine any other pop star singing them. You'd never see Ariana Grande or Beyonce releasing an album like this. They have a firm grasp over their vision and have a story to tell. Katy doesn't.
Jai
The two line verses killed me 😭😭
Dee Shanell
Sheeshhh yall are on Katy's NECK 😂 I'm surprised so many of yall hate this album so much lol
BNH
Dee, it's not true. She's actually predicted to sell 37–42K units in her first week @HITSDD reports. More than Ice Spice for sure. but still bad for Katy Perry. Her last album did 50K and the album before that did 100K.
rllypetty
"i wanna know the truth, even if it hurts me" well katy the truth is that THIS ALBUM IS ASS and im like you went through all this drama to work with a problematic producer and people flaming you just for the album to be ass and generic... i love her old shit but this is a mess
Dee Shanell
I need to check out some Dua Lipa music in the future, I really loved One Kiss lol
Mohammad Zafar
What's your top 3 after some listens?
Artemis Bianco
Dee literally spoke what I was thinking. It’s actually gives very much scrapped Dua Lipa songs
Dee Shanell
Yeahh I really liked Roar & Fireworks, and this album is growing on me a lot today lol
Dee Shanell
😂 thanks bby 💕
Dee Shanell
Yeah apparently it was, I had no idea!
Dee Shanell
Aww I know you were excited at her concert lol
Dee Shanell
Lol appreciate you!
Dee Shanell
Thank you! 💕
Dee Shanell
That song sounds nothing like Roar to me huh 😂
RedWolf
Teenage Dream was her best and only good album in my opinion. If you like Roar, California Girls, or Firework, you would like the album.
Daviiii
I like gorgeous dassit lol…great video as always tho Dee!!❤️
Christine Faulk
Aw, was that her daughter singing at the beginning of the last one?
shamir
I love Dee because she always gives an unbiased reaction, but won’t kiss they asses if their songs are horrible 🤣🤣🩷.
Dimitar Dimitrov
I really appreciate how open you are to new music and giving these songs a chance while also being 100% real when they fail to deliver 🙂↕️
Dimitar Dimitrov
I'm suprised 'Wonder' was your least favourite because it's the closest to Roar from all these songs 😂
Ethan White
Omg, I’m so excited for this - Katy was my first concert as a kid, so she always holds a special place in my heart, despite some of her antics 🥴
Dimitar Dimitrov
Dee these artists be having you giving out so many chances nowadays 😂😭 they need to step it up!! We need songs to hit on the first listen, especially with how saturated music is today
Gemi
Did you end up keeping anything from the Sabrina album? Its held up so well for me.
Dee Shanell
😂😂
Dee Shanell
Damn lol
Dee Shanell
Omg I hope that's not true...not Icey Spicey outselling her 😳
Dee Shanell
The shadeeee lol
Dee Shanell
😂😂
Dee Shanell
Period 😂 yeah I was just listening to this album again this morning while out running errands and I'm feeling a lot of the songs I kept! I'm usually initially a bit underwhelmed with pop but after replaying these songs again, they're hittin ngl lol
Dee Shanell
I was initially thinking she was talking to someone named Daisy but then she dropped a metaphor about being reduced to a weed so I thought she was just calling her fans flowers lmao but cute that she dedicated that song to her daughter
dgchvz
We need to bring back EP’s
Teej
She sounds so uninspired on this album.
HeyMonté
Chiilllee gimme gimme was basic to me at first but after that 2nd and 3rd listen my back has been breaking ever since
StonePrime
Dee i'm so disappointed on you why would you say that about katy perry 🤓☝️ - LMAO JK Just wanted to say that 😂
Mohammad Zafar
Dark horse from PRISM was everything. She did say she's just making albums for fun now. My fav were im his he's mine, all the love, and wonder(sorry) haha
Alyssa Dyson
Most of the songs on this album sound the same to me. Wasnt a fan of it.
Maurice H
Yes she’s a seasoned artist but unfortunately hasn’t been able to enhance her sound whatsoever. I kind of gave up on her a while ago but gave her another chance. She’s stuck in the 2010s and someone needs to pull her out.
Leon_Nwo
"Roar is one of my favorite pop songs of all time" PERIOD
Arianator ToTheCore
My issue with Katy is that she feels like she is 5 years too late. The songs are good enough but the potential outweighs the end product. She feels like she is stuck in the past and never evolving and people have been saying this for the past 8 years. Also, she is allegedly she is going to do around 8-14k first week…
Tiki
This album was disappointing in imo 😭 I didn't even like the song with doechii that much but that's the only song I've added from this
Bray
well i'm excited for 70$ floor seats on katy's tour
ang
it's giving royalty free planet fitness background music
Robert Curry
I agree with Dee, I feel like Katy was focusing on the visuals instead of the music. Some songs felt something missing. But my take is people is not gonna like everything on a album. I think, as I feel like artists are scared to evolve because they try to hold onto the nostalgia of their past albums. Just like Nicki with her new album I want to hear more rap songs like FTCU, Red Ruby, etc I want her to make PF3 more mature
aTaurus
New producers ASAP 😀
Dee Shanell
Not to troll lmao
Dee Shanell
Thanks! Also nice to hear someone likes the album lol it seems like a lot of people aren't feeling it
Dee Shanell
Yeahh trying to give it a chance lol
Chet Kincaid
Very fair review Dee. Whoever was in charge of this album rollout should be fired because this album turned out to be solid. I agree, nothing is a classic but this is def her best album since PRISM. I love Dance/Pop so each and every one of these tracks except for WW was a thumbs up. I don’t believe in a skip free album but I pressed play and was shocked when it looped back to track 1: a seamless experience. To the (Meta)critics, in the words of the late great Whitney, “Kiss my ASS!”
J218
😂
Louis
I think the last song was for her daughter Daisy. But yeah this album was not it lmao.
Dee Shanell
Didn't even know that was her daughter until I reacted to a video about it lol that's cute, but the song is still a no 😂
J218
I thought you were going to say something about her daughter singing on the beginning of Wonder 😂😂
crispygum
A lot of the album sounded very dated to me. There were some catchy melodies here and there but the lyrics were very basic, very early-mid 2010's sounding album imo
Saadé Baghdy
okaaay Dee the generous queen. i was very surprised that u gave a good amount of the songs a chance and vibed to it lol. I think the album is decent i mean here in europe that’s what we rock with (dance/disco pop) personally my favs are the one with 21 and nirvana. great reaction 🤍
Omar_q8
I love the album and i love ur reaction
Supreme Victory
Katy came back from the grave to troll. I'm tired of the girls in 2024. Sabrina did cook though.. She saved this year.
Frankie
I heard this album was a mess I can’t wait to see the reaction!!! 🫶🏻
JohnnySims
this is going to be interesting
lilrickyfrm51
I heard this last night and my takeaway is that its too safe. She needs more dynamic production and more engaging lyrics. This wouldve been good album in 2016 tho, I can admit that
jon
oh lord
