You can tell when something is made by men for women because they always include uteruses. No woman ever identifies with the uterus symbol. Like we do not go about identifying with our uteruses, just as men don't identify with the prostate as their universal symbol.

Girlllll... this just aint it... Katy flops big time with her so-called "Comeback" single Women's World. Hypocritcal considering it is produced by AN ALLEGED ABUSER! She really couldn't ever get past her Witness era. Smile was a total flop. And it looks like history is on course to repeat itself.

Katy Perry — 2024

★★☆☆☆

3.2

After 15 years into the pop machine, and a 4-year break since her latest album, you'd think Katy Perry would be able to finally take the time to mature her music and explore new horizons.

A lot have changed since the One Of The Boys days. The once acclaimed-for-her-songwriting-skills artist who became an inescapable act of the pop music scene in the early 2010s, failed to maintain that attention with 2017's Witness and did even worse with her totally forgotten record Smile (2020).

On 143, she still fails to convey any message but this time in an even more mediocre way. The childish lyrics throughout the record are empty and hollow. The production sounds like it's coming straight from 2016 in a distastefully bad way. It's dated and lacks any purpose.

The wide array of features on the record would've been interesting if they actually added anything more interesting than what's already there with Katy. Doechii's participation on I'M HIS, HE'S MINE is appreciated however. Perry's vocals are so processed without adding anything to the songs and most of the melodies are some of the most annoying ones on a pop record in a long time. It is hard to believe that her or any of her collaborators haven't promped some AI program to generate at least some melodies and lyrics for them. It's that bad.

Worse, 10 out of the 11 songs on this record have Dr. Luke credited on them which, since WOMAN'S WORLD's very bad press release, immediately terminated any of Katy Perry's current or future attempts at making purposeful pop. Katy, if the message you're trying to convey to us is a positive and feminist one, please try not to work with people who represent the total opposite of what you're trying to defend. The thirst you have for going back to your Teenage Dream days should help you reinvent your entire career, not lead you to work with the worst people known to the pop industry. This whole situation ended the entire era without letting it even start, and tarnished Katy Perry's career for ever.

143 lacks any personality and won't manage to make it's imprint this year among the other, much more interesting, major pop records released in 2024.

Kim Petras and Nicki Minaj’s ‘Alone’ Represents the Sad State of Queer Pop

By working with problematic industry figures like Dr. Luke and Minaj, Petras is threatening her own momentum as a trailblazing pop star.
