Pop sensation Katy Perry, known for her hit album Teenage Dream, has been struggling to maintain her relevance in the music industry. Her latest single, “Woman’s World,” has faced heavy criticism for its lackluster lyrics and questionable production team, including controversial figure Dr. Luke. The accompanying music video has also raised eyebrows for its bizarre and nonsensical imagery.
In contrast, Perry’s collaboration with Pokémon on the 25th-anniversary single “Electric” was met with more positive reception. The song and music video tell a heartwarming story of Perry and Pikachu traveling back in time to help their younger selves overcome obstacles in their careers. This collaboration was praised for its emotional depth and nostalgia-inducing visuals.
While some may dismiss “Electric” as cheesy, many found it to be a touching and well-executed project. Perry’s partnership with Pikachu resonated with fans and showcased her ability to deliver powerful and meaningful songs.
As Perry prepares to release her upcoming album, 143, on September 20, there is hope that she will return to her former glory and deliver music that resonates with audiences once again. Despite the disappointment surrounding “Woman’s World,” fans are eager to see what Perry has in store for her next musical chapter.
