Katy Perry’s last album, Witness, was an undisputed flop, rife with weird, vague social messages and a gimmicky live-stream of her life to promote it. If you think I’m being cruel, Perry herself admitted it didn’t meet her expectations. “That was the first time, in a long time, that I didn’t get my way,” she told Glamour in 2018. But Perry, who has had great pop hits in her before (Teenage Dream is a classic, like I even need to say this, and I’d give anything for her to make another “Hot N Cold”) is crawling back to music.
