4.5 superb
Katy Perry Smile

3.5 great
Katy Perry Witness
Excellent production and melodies, Katy's vocal delivery is great, especially when it's
more sultry and softer, on songs like Deja Vu or Tsunami. Lyrically this is her weakest
record. While some themes and certain lines are solid, even great at times, it's filled
with horrible, clunky lines, which most definitely don't fit the atmospheric, electronic
style she and her producers were going for. Her songwriting worked on the pop-"rock"
tinged debut album, but here it simply doesn't. Still, overall her best album, as it
shows more ambition and a desire to grow and mature as a musician.

Favorites: Witness, Roulette, Deja Vu, Bon Appetit, Tsunami
Years and Years Palo Santo
The mixture of stylish uptempos and deeper ballads helps create the desired soundscape,
although the musically ligher songs like Preacher or If You're Over Me feel weak compared
to the "darker" (and catchier) productions and melodies of the other poppier songs, such
as Karma or Palo Santo. Thematically and lyrically very fitting, overall the album feels
like a more polished and focused version of their previous effort.

Favorites: Hallelujah, Hypnotized, Rendezvous

3.0 good
