I’ve been sitting here for the past few hours waiting for something—anything—to be released by Katy Perry. The most optimistic parts of myself expected a full album (perhaps a Spotify exclusive) from my guiltiest of guilty pleasures, but it appears I had been hoping for too much, as all we Katycats were given this cold winter Friday is a single.

“Chained to the Rhythm” is a song I first heard after plugging my headphones into a disco ball chained to a bench, and now that I’ve listened to the full track (which is fine, and includes a verse by Skip Marley) it in the comfort of my own home, I’m enjoying it a little more. Still, though, where’s the album? (It’s been over three years since her last one.)
