Hopefully she gives us one trap mid-tempo track.

That "conversations about the weather" line is as clunky as it looked on paper. They give us nothing in that snippet to go off of--not a (strong) melody, not a chorus, no sense of the actual music...idek what you are all hearing. It is neither good nor bad, it's just...two lines in a sparse verse.

That snippet has me on some Julia Michaels vibe and now I'm terrified.

I was hoping it would sound more like Attention, hopefully after that “okay” line a good bass kicks in

I think my ears are broken. So far I’m preferring Witness to this era. I hope this song slaps in the chorus, I want my mind changed.
I guess I liked the edgier KP. Not sure I’m digging this wanna be hippie, lighter vibe, spoken word, softer synth. Doesn’t feel authentic? Can’t quite place why I’m pressed.
Yes I know it’s just a snippet. And I am ready for her to slay me. Just hope it delivers.

I feel like she’s just doing increasingly boring versions of her older work.

Sounds good to me. This just might be her best album yet.

Witness is hated on too much. It didn't have any major gems, to be fair, but it was a step in a different direction and I applaud her attempt. After doing the Prism rankdown, I think Witness is an overall stronger album (albeit with lower highs and higher lows).

Katy plays to her strengths. She gave y'all innovative purpose pop but y'all trashed it. Now she's giving you ready-made pop cuts and I'm here for it.

Sounds like there's going to be a drop of some sorts for the post-chorus, which I'm all about. And yeah Katy trying to rebrand as "purposeful. woke. conscious." was one of the worst 2017 trends no lie

It’s everything that came after, that ruined the era.

So 💀 @ “innovative purpose pop” what in the white nonsense lowest of bars hell Yeah, not sure how Witness was innovative (in any sense) or even purposeful (outside of two or three tracks). She likely really threw people for a loop with all the talk of purposeful pop after she followed "Chained" with a song about how sweet her p***y tastes. lol If anything that whole album was just a watered down collection (certainly melodically, lyrically) of material she had once mastered. A step down in pretty much every way possible. I liked "Never Really Over" and from the new clip, "Small Talk" has promise. Regardless, she certainly has taken steps in the right direction. If she wants sucess she needs to just give audiences what they expect from her:strong hooks/infectious melodies/fun bops. No one is looking to Katy Perry for innovation, deep reflection, or a poignant message. She is one of those few artists who audiences don't care to dip below the surface with and who is only as strong as her latest hit.

Clips remind me of Ingrid Michaelson... like “Hell No” perhaps. If it’s like that, should be fine.

Catchy just like NRO. This is definitely more laid back imo.
