    This is probably her best album. I think that the songs are incredible and I don't know how she put her singles in there the mixing is just great, but the lyrics are amazing.

    For me, one of the best albums of 2017, no doubt. Witness is an album totally unlike anything she's ever done. Katy deserves much applause for such a wonderful job.

    Amazing album. May not any memorable hits (yet) but it is still amazing and I have high hopes for Katy's new album.
    Personal Favorites Include: Tsunami, Hey Hey Hey, Chained To The Rhythm, Deja Vu, Bon Appetit, Roulette

    Katy proved more mature and spontaneous, it's not like her predecessor albums that comes with smash hits but we show her deeper side
    The featured tracks are Power, Miss You More and Pendulum

    Pop’s Review of Katy Perry’s WITNESS

    WITNESS: I already heard this song as a demo a year ago and it still sounds like an early 00s Madonna B-side. And for Katy, that’s a big success because usually she floats in Rebecca Black territory. The whistles in the end sound pathetic. 5/10 Hey Hey Hey: Everything about this song (including the title) sends me cringing into oblivion. Katy is    Pop’s Review of Katy Perry’s WITNESS

    WITNESS: I already heard this song as a demo a year ago and it still sounds like an early 00s Madonna B-side. And for Katy, that’s a big success because usually she floats in Rebecca Black territory. The whistles in the end sound pathetic. 5/10

    Hey Hey Hey: Everything about this song (including the title) sends me cringing into oblivion. Katy is well known for her horrible nursery rhyme lyrics, but the chorus to this abomination takes it to another level of lyrical immaturity. She needs to have her KCA taken away for that “chubby little wallet” bridge because that’s offensive even to her 8 year old fans, if there are any of them left nowadays. 0/10

    Roulette: This one sounds like something that wouldn’t make the cut to Britney’s Femme Fatale album. Katy sounds sedated and bored… and so am I. 2/10

    Swish Swish: Kopy Pasty strikes again as she blatantly steals the Truffle Butter beat and sticks some embarrassingly ironic lyrics about how she’s bigger and better than Taylor on top of that stolen beat. A failed attempt at reigniting the years old feud that Taylor Swift already won. Nicki’s verse is tolerable. 4/10

    Déjà vu: “You suck my soul up in a vacuum”. Enough said. The beat is nice, I guess, but Katy’s lyrics are worse than Chinese water torture. 4/10

    Power: The songs are really starting to blend in at this point. The beats are all the same and all the songs are mastered to be too bassy and it’s extremely grating to the ears, especially in combination with Katy’s nails on a chalkboard vocals. I’ve heard more interesting elevator music than this song. 0/10

    Mind Maze: “I’m losing all direction” is the opening line to this song and I think it’s the perfect way to describe everything about this album. This is what happens when you buy your own shtick. Katy Perry trying to be deep is like McDonalds trying to sell gourmet food. It’s just NOT going to happen. This one is less annoying than the one before. 2/10

    Miss You More: Time for a generic ballad, I guess. There’s absolutely nothing memorable about this, but it doesn’t make me want to pour liquid metal into my earsockets like some of the previous tracks so I guess that’s good. 3/10

    Chained To The Rhythm: What people thought was a quick little buzz single turned out to be the albums best song. Sad. 6/10

    Tsunami: Katy has a problem with big sounding song titles (Tsunami, Roar, Power) that end up being less exciting than a rerun of a badminton match. This song came and went and I felt nothing. Absolutely devoid of any substance, 100% filler. 1/10

    Bon Appetit: Much has already been said about how awkward and gross sounding this song is. My guess is that Katy thought this would be the Dark Horse of the era. Good thing the public taste has evolved since 2013 and refused a serving of this rotten meal. The last chorus has a little bit of oomph and for that I give it 2/10

    Bigger Than Me: Jesus Christ, how long is this album? I feel like I’ve already heard this song 5 times since I pressed play. At this point I’m 98% sure that Hey Hey Hey, Roulette, Déjà vu, Power, Tsunami and this are the same song sung in a different key. ENOUGH ALREADY 1/10

    Save As Draft: Time for another generic ballad. This one is worse than the first one. 2/10

    Pendulum: This is Katy Perry trying to serve some soul into a song, which is a commendable attempt but it’s sadly just an attempt. By the time the chorus hits, we go back to nursery rhyme teas and the awful production takes the song back into generic filler material. 4/10

    Into Me You See: The album finally ends with ballad #3. This one is kind of soft and tolerable. It reminds me of something you would hear in Frozen or another children’s movie soundtrack. An uneventful ending to an uneventful album. 5/10

    Conclusion: Katy Perry proves what we’ve always known was true. She has no talent, she has no vision and she has no value as an artist. Now that Capitol’s payola machine can’t even save her and she’s approaching middle-aged woman territory, she’s going to be put in the same discontinued aisle as Paula Abdul.

    The album has a few catchy songs, but sometimes it feels like she's trying to hard to be something different, to do something that nobody has ever done before her. But the album just falls flat. It looks like Katy Perry really is chained to that rhythm. Because, apart from 2 or 3 (really) good ones, the songs feel quite generic and bland.

First time I hear the release, I find it interesting that I can't really peg it to any particular time period, as is the case with many dance-related releases. It feels heavy and serious in places and almost lo-fi in others, and that's part of why it works.

    The other reason it works is because there are fifteen tracks that diverge and converge. It explores a lot of different ground, but at the base of every track is something that makes you want to shake your hips a bit.    … Expand

    The all-new ‘woke’ Katy isn’t just about giving you decent things to dance to on a Friday night or up-tempo fluff for your gym playlist. Instead, she’s pushing the sleek, chart-friendly empowerment of ‘Roar’ and ‘Firework’ even further, into socially aware electropop territory, like ‘The Fame’ period Lady Gaga doing an evening class at SOAS.

    "Witness" is her worst album to date. Songs like 'Roulette' and 'Save As Draft' sound very similar to Lady Gaga's 'I Like It Rough' and 'Angel Down'. Furthermore, her voice sounds so auto-tuned in some songs. Katy could've done it so much better.

    As a Katy Perry fan, I feel pretty weird about this record. It's not bad, but at the same time is not a masterpiece of pop culture. It's a good album, with some incredible songs.

    Um dos melhores albuns dela, maturo e com letras totalmente comoventes e tocantes
    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.

    Katy finalmente lança algo diferente dos seus trabalhos anteriores, com direito à roullete que provavelmente será seu proximo smash hit, e as faixas Pendullum e Save as draft que mostram sua versatilidade em criar musicas agradáveis com uma pegada diferente. Witness será um album incrivelmente bom, se depender da sua grande habilidade de contar historias em videoclipes.

    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.

    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.
