Katy Perry's latest album struggles to hit the right note

Katy Perry is a popular American singer, born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. She is known for hits like "I Kissed a Girl," "Firework," "Roar," and "Dark Horse." Over the years, she has won numerous awards and nominations. She is also a judge on the show "American Idol." In addition to music, Perry is involved in charitable activities and campaigns for human rights and LGBT+ people.

September 20 was quite a special day for Katy Perry. On that day, her seventh studio album, "143," was released. Unfortunately, the album received a largely negative reception from netizens and even the singer's fans. Speculations arose right after the first single that the production would be one big flop. These assumptions were partially confirmed. The new Katy Perry album turned out to be the worst she has ever created in her entire career.

The failure of Katy Perry's new album is evidenced not only by the negative opinions of netizens and her fans but also by the general reviews given by music critics. The album is the lowest-rated production of this year. Additionally, on the day of its release, the songs from "143" did not make it to any hit playlists on Spotify in the United States and globally.

Many netizens complain about "a desperate attempt to combine all of the currently trending genres (of music -editor's note) into one song." They also point out that the lyrics are boring, and the recent scandals involving the artist do not help in promoting the album. Someone else noted that: "Katy is stuck in the last decade, this album is redundant and bland." Of course, there is also positive feedback on social media regarding the album, but the criticisms significantly outnumber the praise.
