    Foram quase 4 anos esperando. De início houve estranhamento, mas me tocou profundamente. Obrigado Katy Perry, sempre acreditei em você. Não importa o desempenho nos charts (coisa que não dou atenção) o álbum é de uma mulher adulta para seus fãs, você está tentado nos conscientizar e eu a parabenizo por isso.

    Katy came really changed on this album, totally mature songs, totally showing her other side of being, her mature, sensitive and human side, I do not know why specialized criticism has set so many stones, it seems that none of them have their own opinion, Appear to be based on the opinions of others.

    It's an amazing record and so different from all the others pop records that already came out. Katy did her best in this new phase and I'm so proud of her. She proves that she's a incredible and original artist, such a masterpiece of our generation. I've been witnessing her journey through these years and I'll always do. Love you, Katy!

    The album is very good. To the songs with a calm voice and a contagious beat. Taking the listener, to feel several emotions in a single song, that is the legal one. Those songs with a very calm or sad voice and an exciting beat. I loved this new era different from Katy, it shows her change from venturing without fear.

    Estamos sendo testemunhas do crescimento da Katy Perry como artista, e isso está sendo maravilhoso. Katy construiu um álbum diferente dos anteriores e não deixou a desejar em nenhuma faixa. Minhas faixas favoritas são: Witness, Roulette, Deja Vu, Tsunami, Power e Bigger Than Me.

    Um álbum extremamente maduro e bem produzido. As três primeiras faixas de "Witness" são a tríade sagrada do disco. "Hey Hey Hey" emerge a força feminina e inspira jovens mulheres a viverem a letra da canção. "Roulette" nos faz dar uma volta na década de 80, com um instrumental contagiante e arrepiante.

    Letras inteligentes durante todo o álbum. O ponto baixo do disco é "Mind Maze", que eu diria ser a pior música já feita por Perry. Mas nada que a dançante "Dejá vu" e a romântica "Save as draft" não superem. Além das já conhecidas, "Chained to the Rhythm", "Bon appétit" e "Swish Swish", essa última contendo os versos poderosos de Nicki Minaj.

    Para entender esse álbum vc precisa enxerga-lo como um diário, um diário de uma mulher, que ontem enfrentou os dilemas de seu "Sonho Adolescente" e teve que deixar a luz entrar em seu "Prisma". Esse diário, hoje mostra uma mulher madura e na procura de sua libertação. Sem é claro decepcionar seus fãs, trazendo com essa "libertação", muitos Hinos.

E graças ao bom senso de MOMMA temos essa maravilha de música neste maravilhoso álbum. Katy Perry se eu for falar faixa por faixa não iria dar a imensa gratidão que estou por ouvir e ouvir esse álbum, obrigado por POWER, eu realmente amo essa música, ROULLETE é uma puta música, meu Deus e HEY HEY HEY socorro que vocais são esses? EU AMO esse álbum e também amo os detalhes, os vocais, e aqueles assobios, socorrrooooo! Sorry, Katy irei sim falar do álbum completo. BON APPÉTIT foi paixão de primeira, ainda lembro quando escutei CHAINED TO THE RHYTHM foi tipo? Cara ela voltou? Voltou para nós, e quando vi as ironias da letra, fiz PUTA MERDA que canção.. SWISH SWISH é um encanto, o arranjo, a letra, a melodia, a participação de NICKI fiquei maravilhado, DEJÀ VU é tão viciante que fico imaginando Katy, canta Katy .... PENDULUM é minha outra paixão fiquei encantando com a letra e o encaixe de tudo. MISS YOU MORE nasceu para esse álbum, li que era a antiga BAD PHOTOGRAPHS obrigado por isto, eu gosto de me encontrar em suas letras. MIND MAZE que vocais são esses Katy? Como amo essa música. INTO ME YOU SEE é tão parecida com PEARL é tão linda, fechou o álbum merecidamente. BIGGER THAN ME não levo essa música apenas com teor político tem dias que tudo é maior que eu, ano passado tudo ficou maior ao meu redor, amo a letra, amo tudo isso.SAVE AS DRAFT é foda, caraca amo seu vocal aqui, quão profundo é essa música. E TSUNAMI é um tsunami em tudo, que coisa mais dark e linda ao mesmo tempo. Só digo uma coisa a mais, esse álbum é GRANDIOSO.… Expand

    É uma obra de arte, diferente de tudo que a Katy já nos mostra. Ela se apresenta como uma mulher adulta, feminista e renascida. É uma bíblia pop, e eu estou muito satisfeito de que depois de quatro anos temos um albúm tão maravilhoso e maturo.

    Wrong marketing campaign, it's everything but 'Purposeful Pop'. It's a fine 'break-up' album.
    Witness is musically coherent, lyrics are Katy Perry at best. It's different but also safe.

    This is one of the best pop albums I’ve have ever heard, and the best and more mature album from katy, she's experimenting with many underground producers (duke dumont, jack garratt and hot chip), and with different genres like dance and house. It’s remarkable her growth lyrically. All the songs are enjoyable to listen, she's growing and that's what the album is reflecting to us.

    The best pop album of 2017. "Roulette" Is the best track of the whole album! "Witness" is not far behind, like "Bigger Than Me", "Miss You More", "Swish Swish", "Hey Hey Hey" and "Chained To The Rhythm"

    Her most authentic album yet, Katy Perry's Witness is the dark dance album fans been waiting for since before 2013's Prism. Every song on Witness has a purpose, and as a whole, the album is certainly Perry's most cohesive effort yet. Witness is Perry's record that deserves the Grammy that was meant for Teenage Dream.

    Her best album by far, both lyrically and in terms of production. Every song a hit and nothing is filler. Contains both bops and heart wrenching ballads, couldn't recommend enough.

    10/10 for me. this is the best album of her career. the only reason if it gets lower user score just because swifties and little monsters are giving her 0 rating.

    I just finished the album. Its truly stunning one! I don't listen to Katy Perry all the time but some of the songs in this album really do moved me, making me repeating for the past hours. Anyway, I believe this is a amazing comeback for Katy. GOAL!

    This is by far Katy's most diverse and best album. DO NOT JUDGE THE ALBUM BY THE SINGLES. The Album tracks are amazing and you will not regret buying it. Her vocals seemed to have improved too, which can be seen on songs like Pendulum. Highlights of the album are; Witness, Power, Pendulum, Into Me You See, Chained To The Rhythm, and Tsunami!

    Algo que me decepcionou um pouco é que alguns refrãos nao sao fortes o suficientes, como de Swish Swish e Miss You More, mas todo o resto sobre o álbum está impecável. Save as Draft dona do álbum, sim ou claro? E ela devia ter começado a era com Act My Age e deixado Bon Appetit como faixa bonus.
    Só dei nota 10 pq nao dá pra dar nota 900000.

    O melhor álbum de sempre as pessoas é que pensam que Katy tem de parar no tempo "Teenage dream" tem de evoluir e ai está "Witness" este álbum mostra uma Katy mais madura pena que não venha a Portugal.

    To be frank there are only 8 songs out of 15 that are worth to listen to , but those 8 are more than worth a score of 10. This is the most heartfelt album Katy Perry have ever created.

    If an album make you cry, it's a masterpiece and it made me cry at its first track. this song is indeed a 360 degree liberation and it empowers us in different kind of scenarios. the over all impact of the album is 99/100. Far best from other album released this year. Just listen to the music with digesting all of its lyrics to know the real beauty of it.

    I swear critics just want her to re-release the same music over and over again. Sorry that Katy raised the bar so high with Teenage Dream but move on and accept that she is continuously evolving. This album was definitely worth the wait and my favourite track is constantly changing which just proves what a great record Witness is overall. Do not be fooled by the biased critics.

    Her best album to date! Great lyrics, belted high notes and sonically friendly songs. Remember, "0" reviews are from haters and they are pressed because Katy released the best album of 2k17. Anyway, the critics are biased so don't rely on them, too.

    WITNESS is showing us a lot of her side that we've never think about it before. Katy is success by releasing this and we just couldn't agree more that WITNESS has a lot of good songs (almost all of it).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All over WITNESS , Katy Perry is describing her own personal reality (LIBERATION), on her terms and informed by her worldview. That the album simultaneously pushes mainstream music into smarter, deeper places is simply a reminder of why she remains pop’s princess.… Expand

    Nota 10 pela evolução da Artista , demonstrando que está disposta a se arriscar na industria musical ( que por sinal está cada vez mais exigente ) e trazendo para nós um conteudo artisticamente ousado e gostoso de ouvir.

    While it's certainly missing any form of coherency, Witness does feel like you're growing with Perry - going on this journey that's helped her find new ground and a reinvigorated appreciation for all walks of the pop music spectrum.

    While she may have slipped down the pecking order, Witness proves she’s still a more interesting pop star than she’s often given credit for.

    It’s a real shame Witness has come out as a bit of a disjointed mess, as there’s a decent record somewhere in there, but it gets lost in the fog of endless guest productions and co-writes that miss the point entirely.
