Thank you all for your kind words! I wanted to add so many more songs, but this was all I could fit. I'm not 100% with some of the transitions, but I wanted to get it out in time for the VMAs, and I didn't want it going over 6/7 minutes :)

This era feels like 6 months old already and the album is STILL 3 weeks away.

It’ll be the next batch of insults thrown at her, the attendance of her tour.

The way she titled her album after its peak position on the Billboard 200. Her mind.
This feels particularly dated coming out at a time when Sabrina Carpenter has just released such a fresh new record. The contrast is striking.

Dylan's Katy Megamix is fantastic. WOW! Fantastic job and makes me love Katy more. Hope Katy saw Dylan's mix. I'm sure she would love it.

Very clearly trying to recreate "Dark Horse" with "Gimme Gimme". Would've been a much better choice to lead instead of "Woman's World". I don't see it turning the era around. I don't even think a "Never Really Over" could keep this ship from sinking at this point unfortunately.

Goodness she didn't even try with her pen this time, did she. To be fair Katy has always written like this: playfully, quirky, and simplistic. I don't think anyone listens to Katy Perry expecting a lyrical savant. "Gimme Gimme" feels as if it falls right in line with the rest of her discography to me.

I like the snippet, they can still release it down the line, or whatever they chose to do. It'll be the 20th before we know it with the way time is moving.

I've lost my optimism in the album at this point, but I suspect that it's going to sound much better in a live venue with other people then alone... and its my day off so might as well.

this was peak Katy Perry, new smash hit coming after the era with 8 big hits, 557,000 copies in the first week, her 10th top 10 song in a row. I really miss this.

Looking at this rollout. It is very similar to what they did with Smile. "Daisies" peaked around #20 on Airplay a few months before the album came out, like "Woman's World," and they released "Smile" as a promo type song, similar to what it looks like they did with "Lifetimes." Really the only full fledged single from Smile was "Daisies" (NRO technically, but that was long before the album was announced.) Honestly looking back, I'm surprised that album did as well as it did with no active single being pushed when the album dropped.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't try to push any more singles from the album, but I don't see this album doing very well. I feel like the goal should be top 20 on the 200 chart for the album.

Love this so much. Thank you for including “Small Talk” cause that’s been one of my favorites lately.

Did anyone really expect Katy to make a statement saying she regretted working with a producer for an album she is doing promo for and is dropping in two weeks? At this point, anyone who cares about this issue has already made up their mind as to whether or not they will check out the album so no statement was going to really move the needle.

Imo it was a professional answer. They have a history in HER experience, so I get why she went to Dr.Luke. Pretty sure she saw all the controversy and she doesn't need to speak on it just cause we want her to lol. People are gonna move on from it..or not.

I’m not a fan of the dancing around the issue approach and I wish Katy would be more transparent on the whole Dr Luke issue but lbr, that’s not gonna happen until after the album is out. I just hope Katy learns a lesson after this era and avoids throwing herself in the lion’s den again.

I don’t know if you guys are also observing this but there is a palpable shift in her personality for me this era. Its as if she has put on this facade of trying to be “in” with the cool kids. I am in no way dictating what or how someone should be behaving, but Katy, who I loved for years since her TD days, seems totally vapid, clueless and actually quite irritating nowadays. Maybe its because I was enjoying her during Smile era and hated her Idol shenanigans, but this is still continuing in the current era. Dare I say mid-life crisis?
Again, please understand I am not being hateful, I was just thinking these points. Maybe all these contributes to everyone also losing their love for Katy Perry the person, there by losing respect for Katy Perry the artist too.

She would have looked cuter saying nothing. Poor stans can't even say it was a contractual thing now. This entire era is a PR nightmare, just dumb choices everywhere. There's also nothing else for her to be transparent about? She has clarified it was her decision to work with him, and she has no fucks to give about the implications. Also very sad that she seems to think this era was some sort of creative rebirth. It's so far her most vapid, senseless one.
