Everything is simple , in the world of Katy Perry. While other pop stars venture into ever more intricate concept or try the scandal , Katy goes straight to the point with extraordinary precision . "Teenage Dream" of 2011 had five singles on the Billboard and a re very lucky it has consolidated a trademark of pop pure and uncomplicated. The new album of the singer, "Prism " , follows the same strategy and no doubt will get results similar to its predecessor , if not more : the first extract " Roar ," with its pounding beat and a lyric video full of emoji , is already was one of the most successful and predictable year. ( Those who have spent the last few months to make comparisons with " Applause " by Lady Gaga can not be taken seriously : I really wonder if a song that mentions "Rocky" sold more copies than one that mentions Koons ? )
Scrolling down the tracklist, there are at least ten potential singles as effective because Katy Perry and his collaborators (not even worth to mention them , so are the same that you find in every pop album of the last decade ) can build a track for each situation : " Birthday" and "This is how we do " seem tailor-made to become anthems for parties and hen parties very ignorant , while the ballads are divided between the declarations of unconditional love ( " unconditionally ", " Double rainbow " ) and sorrows of young divorcee ( "Ghost ", " By the grace of God" ) . The universality of the lyrics ( more personal than "Teenage Dream" , but still very general ) goes hand in hand with surprising musical choices ever , made on purpose to deceive the radio and drill the brain : there will be a refrain in the head or a song, but the entire album.
The only traces in which you can not say that Katy Perry has taken the most obvious are the first two promotional singles "Walking on air" and " Dark horse " : the first is directly from a compilation of Festivalbar mid- 90s ; the second , of inspiration and grime with the inevitable presence of an average rapper known, is the darkest and most powerful song of the album " Dark horse " shows that the singer could explore other genres without losing places in the standings , but with " Prism "wants to win easy . And when a solo album after only a couple of plays sounds like the greatest hits of a decades-long career , you have to give up: Katy Perry won handily .
