Review Discography Review: Katy Perry's Albums
Tama posted a blog entry in Present Time Calls for Current Ideas
In 2020, I had created a thread meant to rank Katy's discography prior to Smile's arrival. However, since Smile is officially here, I'm going to make a rank listing all of her albums so far. I'll also add her Katy Hudson album at the end for a simple kii. Enjoy! *Note: I keep editing this entry, dear God please make it stop. *Another note: Fuck. It never stopped. 1. Welcome to her best album! Prism is, finally, Katy's undoubtedly best album to date. Sure, it has "Roar" (which is a #1 hit song btw) and it kinda sucks. I mean, take a look at the opening li -

Here’s a weird one. Britney Jean Spears has instantly identifiable pop classics for days, but only a few of her songs went all the way to #1. One of those #1 hits is a bonus track from her second greatest-hits collection. It’s an uptempo dance-pop jam that was co-written by the same guy who was primarily responsible for most of Britney’s biggest early hits. The song in question is deeply horny and knowingly provocative. Maybe a little kid could hear that song without knowing what’s going on, but anyone older than 10 had to know that “3” is a song all about threesomes. Evidently, this did not p

What a way to start a decade. On her very first single, the 22-year-old Kesha, previously known only as a disembodied voice on Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” takes all of 25 seconds to establish a fully formed pop-star persona. Kinda-sorta rapping in a vocal-fried and Auto-Tune-drenched valley-girl chirp, Kesha tells us that she wakes up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy, and the voice of the actual Diddy chimes in with approval. But the real Diddy would never brush his teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniels. Nobody else would do that. That’s just Kesha. Kesha’s “Tik Tok” video brings that cha

Lightning crackles through the clouds as Lady Gaga rises, in slow motion, from a swimming pool. Gaga’s face is covered by a mask made from crushed-up disco balls. There’s a spiky black-metallic shoulderpad on her vinyl bodysuit. In front of her, two Great Danes sit at attention, like Egyptian statues. Gaga looks like Gozer appearing on the rooftop at the end of Ghostbusters, if Gozer was ready to party. She’s a dance-music wraith from another dimension, and the world is not ready for her. The opening shots of the “Poker Face” video were disorienting for any music snobs who heard “Just Dan

Amid ongoing legal struggles, the singer’s fifth LP is some of her most intense music yet FOR ALMOST A decade, Kesha’s career and life have been in a state of purgatory as she’s been locked in a legal battle that has at times left her with a precarious future. On the two albums she released in the midst of endless court hearings, she put up an empowered front, searching for hope in the face of uncertainty. Gag Order — a brilliant name for her latest album — says “screw that.” On her fifth LP, Kesha is tired, angry, and vicious. There’s a lot she still can’t say, but she unspools as m

I wrote a whole book about #1 hits that served as cultural turning points, but not every trend can be encapsulated in a single track. You can point to a specific historical moment when disco became a cultural force, for instance, but there’s no equivalent moment for the EDM boom of the late ’00s and early ’10s. Instead, the electro-pop takeover was a gradual thing. You could hear the early seeds in tracks like Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous” and Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack.” You can see it in Kanye West sampling Daft Punk on “Stronger,” in Flo Rida rapping over a house-adjacent beat on “Low,”

Don’t call it a comeback. The word “comeback” is simply insufficient to describe what was happening with Britney Spears in 2008. Britney’s whole saga is a wild, twisty, depressing ordeal that indicts all of Bush-era American culture. Britney Spears, Miss American Dream since she was 17, was idolized, demonized, and broken by the celebrity-industrial complex when that whole machine was operating at its dehumanizing peak. She never had a chance. When Britney returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since her epoch-defining 1999 smash “Baby One More Time,” she was already o

The Number Ones: Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” (stereogum.com) Katy Perry was not the first woman to record a hit song called “I Kissed A Girl.” In 1995, Jill Sobule, a singer-songwriter from Denver, came out with a shy and vulnerable story-song with that same title. Sobule’s “I Kissed A Girl” is all about personal discovery, about finding something in life that might actually make you happy. That song’s kiss is a private moment, and the memory seems to make Sobule’s voice glow. Jill Sobule’s “I Kissed A Girl” started out on alt-rock radio and eventually crossed over to the Hot 100, wher

If the tracklist was like this: 1. Girl Gone Wild- Great start, very energetic! 2. Bang Bang- She def gone WILD!!! 3. I'm Addicted- Great quirky build up to next track! MDNA *repeat*!!! 4. Give Me All Your Luvin- Fun eruption of Pop and electronica! 5. Some Girls- Very unfinished and "scratchy", bitchy but enjoyable nonetheless! 6. Masterpiece - The "Nothing Fails" of MDNA. Smooth it out after 5 upbeat tracks. 7. Love Spent- The "Intervention" of MDNA. Very pleading and the fading out at the end resembles the mentioned track. Very emotional. 8. I F*

Mariah Carey was cooked. This was the popular perception, to the point that there even was a popular perception. Mariah had dominated the pop charts for all of the ’90s, and she’d quietly reinvented herself a few times over the course of the decade. In the first few years of the new century, though, Mariah had flamed out in a very visible way. Back-to-back albums had flopped resoundingly. I don’t remember Mariah’s downfall being especially shocking. Mariah was a pop singer, and pop singers’ careers have a tendency to end. But when Mariah came back, that was notable. Mariah Carey spent a f

When it was released, Rebel Heart was considered a "good" but bloated album. Many said it could've been better if she cut out some of the filler/fat out. I would agree because after listening to the album many times, I came to a conclusion that these 12 tracks certainly made it flow more smoothly without rummaging through all the unecessary excess. Here's the tracklist: 1. Living For Love- what the title says 2. Devil Pray- need for religion/God, looking for love in unhealthy places 3. Ghosttown- need for unity to stay together 4. Iconic- need to get up and keep on trying

So, this is it. This is the moment that nobody's been waiting for. This is my review, my explanation, my confession, my revelation. I hate this album. I despise it. Why? This was the album that produced one of Mariah's more recent hit singles. "Touch My Body" hitting number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart was historic. It was difficult to get and not everybody can have that. But that's exactly the problem. There's nothing remarkable about this album other than adding another accolade on top of her already stacked accolades. It's really good to show numbers and stats, but when the mu
