monketsharona 52,966 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'd say decent success, but less than her two previous albums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Perry is bound to have much less successful era but it will be very important for the long-term. Cause such an album will demonstrate the new direction she chooses to pursue. Choosing the same path as TD and PRISM would lead to a less successful era cause people are somewhat tired of that imagery. The kids will go crazy for her again for sure. She will still be as some of you say family-friendly. But who will take her seriously in the industry if she keeps doing that? Look at PRISM - I recently relistened to it and remembered it's far from what the singles would make you think. The second half of the album is quite serious and stripped-down. The first half is a mixed bag of good bops - Legendary Lovers, Walking on Air, Dark Horse + Unconditionally on one hand, and then the rest which are too TD-esque and cringey and yet they were the single choices... Apparently her team wanted her to play it safe and milk the candy cow to the fullest. Imagine if she had opted for ANY of the songs in the second half? Or if she goes after that sound for the next album? I think it would have been good for a more mature audience. Of course she will lose the "cool" among kids but does a 31-yo woman wants to be relevant with my niece (9yo) until she hits her twenties? So I think this is the trap - if she stays in the box that everyone expects her to stay - she will be repetitive, if she goes out of it and goes in that stripped-down direction - she will be boring. If she goes truly dark and racy she will be panned. She will probably be embraced more by people like us but she will have to kiss it goodbye to the average Christian family with 2 kids that used to buy her albums and play them for their birthdays. Personally I hope she evolves from the sound of the second half of PRISM and maybe some One of the boys rock vibe? It would really suit her. such an interesting post Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, if Gaga said that, she'd be dragged to hell and back... i don't understand, how can she think so highly of herself Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
