WITNESS IS F***ING JESUSLY OMG

Like it’s her best album so far? Don’t understand the reaction :o

 

The 2 Target exclusive tracks are out there now :)

Remember she has the Calvin song lined up... so not all is lost yet.

Lmao if Witness is her Bionic, this will for sure end up being her Moves Like Jagger

Anyone watching her live stream right now?

Hey Hey Hey is sounding good to me? Sure it's a bit "done before" but the lyrics arre very fitting to her and this era right now: people trying to crack her, but she won't break.

 

The title track and Roulette are both wonderful too. The way the latter builds into that final chorus and she SCREAMS just before it is magical.

 

The production on the album is so strong and there are a lot of nice tracks. Sure there aren't as many WOW moments as her other albums but it doesn't make this a disaster - just a departure from her other other material. I am here for it for now, but as a complete work, it probably won't last as long in my affections as the other albums.

I've just purchased the CD and am listening to it on iTunes. Skipped straight to Swish Swish and now gone into Déjà Vu which I'm loving on first listen :wub:

Okay, so most of these tracks sound like the random poorly produced Spotify 'hits'... That being said, Roulette just needs a little bit more oomph in the chorus and it is a SMASH. Hey Hey Hey reminds me a bit of What The Hell by Avril Lavigne, idk why

Me and Sam have decided this is what we expect Vanessa White's debut album to sound like

06.0 Witness (has potential to be great but it is lacking the punch the production needs)

05.0 Hey Hey Hey (don't hate it as much as the rest of you but it is nothing special. if this is single potential then i'm worried)

07.0 Roulette

11.0 Swish Swish

08.5 Deja Vu (this sounds like it could be a single? by far the strongest new track so far)

06.5 Power (I want to love this as it reminds me of 'Circle The Drain' but the production is a mess)

03.0 Mind Maze

05.0 I Miss You More

09.0 Chained To The Rhythm

05.0 Tsunami

10.0 Bon Appetit (in my top 5 Katy songs ever along with Swish Swish, don't care what anyone says)

07.5 Bigger Than Me

05.0 Save As Draft

06.0 Pendulum

04.0 Into Me You See

 

Need to listen to the bonus tracks but it is definitely a massive disappointment. The singles were amazing and yet the actual album tracks are so meh.

 

Purposeful poop.

Save As Draft sounds like it should have been written for Kelly Clarkson. It would be so emotional live

currently listening to this & I am so disappointed :( 3 songs I've rly liked/loved and 1 song I found ok and I'm over 2/3rds of the way through the album.

She should resign along with Theresa May.

 

Just sounds like beige BJSC filler with no choruses.

 

Deja Vu has literally no tune to it? Tripe.

 

Roulette, title track o Hey Hey Hey probably her best bets.

 

Awful.

First listen rate:

 

Album: 4.5/10

 

03 Witness the production really irritated me & it dragged

00 Hey Hey Hey f*** me

08.5 Roulette this is pretty good, reminds me of something that could easily fit on Prism

00 Swish Swish no.

03 Deja Vu same as Witness pretty much

05.5 Power this is actually quite interesting but a bit jarring, could click with more listens

01 Mind Maze this is the kind of song that I would listen to 10 seconds of on spotify and then skip cos it sounds so bad. the last 45 seconds save it from a 0

09 Miss You More this is SO GOOD. AT LAST. reminds me of a bit more produced BTGOG.

11 Chained To The Rhythm Still perfect. In my top 3 Katy songs and this just slays so much, love how clever the lyrics are (and it stands out even more on this album!) and the production is fab *.*

04 Tsunami a song that sounds like it would be amongst the weakest on PRISM but it could be worse

00 Bon Appetit irritating af

07.5 Bigger Than Me this was quite good but I've kinda forgot what it sounded like already :(

03 Save As Draft the song itself is nice but the lyrics/vocals are so bad that they bring the song right down

07.5 Pendulum this was quite good, definitely got stronger as it went on, reminds me of a minimalistc CTTR

07 Into Me You See this is nice

 

so so disappointing. :( I hate the production on most of the songs & I legit never want to hear half these tracks again :(

CTTR still slays & MYM/Roulette are great and the album does pick up a lil bit towards the end but I feel like it should be so much stronger than it is

It's not a good album but it's not absolutely horrendous. I think I'll probably prefer it to 'Prism' in the end, that only had about 3 good songs :')

 

The singles are probably my top three but I'm liking these too:

01 Roulette

02 Hey Hey Hey (I f***ing love it, ok. Definitely get the Avril Lavigne comparisons haha)

03 Pendulum

04 Bigger Than Me

05 Mind Maze

 

The rest I probably won't go back to. Especially Into Me You See 😷

^^Ouch! Worse than Brenda Joan.

^^Ouch! Worse than Brenda Joan.

Definitely not!

Purposeful poop.

^^Ouch! Worse than Brenda Joan.

Do you ever have anything positive to say about any pop star bar one?

 

The title track and Deja Vu are the big standouts for me, both incredible *.* Actually shocked at the reception so far.

It sounds unfinished. None of the production quite hits the mark, apart from the singles. This seems like a leak while all the songs were still in progress of being finished.
