They should've made them bonus tracks or something and have a body of work that can stand on their own feet. Inb4 NRO and HIH are the best on the album... and that’s why they are included If I like it, then that's what I get! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should’ve stayed with NRO and made it the Official lead but instead, she chose to make some clownery... like literally... She literally teased Smile's theme with the Never Really Over lyric video She knew what she was doing... The singles in 2019 were more than just dropping singles or doing too much... she was testing the waters, and giving fans songs that weren't necessarily gonna be on the album as a snack to keep us fed End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had got Smile as a droplet first, then Small Talk and HIH, and then she launched the album campaign with NRO as lead and Daisies as a second single, she'd be on track to have a smash hit album. IMO. i hope the real smashes haven't shown their hands yet, otherwise I have a bad feeling this album will be rather boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Check what Katy bought... Red Clown nose Smiley ballons (in bulk) Sticks & Stones (in Daisies she says "took some sticks and stones showed em I could build a house) Candy canes (in bulk) (possibly a nod to teenage dream, but I'm thinking the Cozy Little Christmas video) .... the way she planned this End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO. Never Really Over, while amazing, isn't Katy's best song I think it was a smart move because Never Really Over got people talking about Katy again, and after the disaster of Witness, it showed that that type of music could be what's to come. It did well on its own despite the lack of promo, and showed the GP were still here for Katy. The reception she got from that song was massive. Small Talk was designed to just be a small song for fans. Harleys In Hawaii sounded like an album cut, and showed there can be different sounds to the album from Katy. Daisies is the first proper single from the album, but is almost like a mix of all 3 previous singles (NRO, ST, HIH)... so I expect this album to have a few song sound like NRO, a few songs that sound like HIH, a few songs that sound like a mix like Daisies, and a few songs that are reminiscent of her older work but made fresher like Smile the title track. I do wish she released this album last year... but I guess she wanted to test out her plan first. I don't think she intended for this album to be a smash hit, but instead to show that she is still Katy Perry and she could smash if she wanted too, or really pushed for it End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatfoxyfeeling 12,683 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I’m not feeling it, can imagine the music video having cute visuals but I don’t get how she went from NRO to these lackluster songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's on that I think I’ll just wait to make my final judgement, but NRO and Harleys are the only songs I really really enjoyed . Never Really Over sounds godly, Harleys sounds good and I can say that about the rest. For me, Katy just lost her path and doesn’t know how to find it back. If I like it, then that's what I get!

Maybe mentally, but never musically. I've honestly loved everything that was released so far, except from Never Worn White... purely because it was a cute song for her pregnancy and nothing more. But everything has been bops, and feels authentically her She's never strayed away from "her path", even taking risks and still pulling it off End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
