Guest Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Wren Graves from Consequence of Sound gave the album a rating of C. He listed "Swish Swish", "Power", and "Déjà Vu" as essential tracks, but felt that most of the other songs were more of a "filler", and that a lack of cohesiveness with Perry's output made Witness inferior to her previous material. Andy Gill from The Independent rated the record 2 out of 5 stars. He criticized the production of the tracks, especially the ones by Max Martin, describing them as "identical to everyone else's". Gill ended the review saying that tracks listed towards the end of Witness were "far more interesting". Mikael Wood from Los Angeles Times shared a similar view in his analysis of the album. Wood was critical of the musical direction on Witness, the supposed "purposeful pop" being lost in the tracks and Perry's singing. He listed "Chained to the Rhythm" and "Swish Swish" as highlights. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witness_(Katy_Perry_album) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 20,627 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 All the critics calling Swish Swish as a highlight of the album when I think it's one of her worst songs lol. But I really can't wait to listen to Witness (the song) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll be much more upset if the album doesn't sell. I remember a clip where she was devastated when one of her songs wasn't charting in just 1 country. Purr more, hiss less.
