This record is a true gem of fresh sound, where each track shines with its own personality, yet all share the vibrant energy that defines Furtado.rOne standout song is "Save Your Breath," where the collaboration with Williane 108, Charmie, Taborah Johnson, and Tynomi Banks creates an exciting and richly layered sonic experience. Furtado offers a perfect blend of modern rhythms and intricate arrangements, and her distinctive voice creates an immersive atmosphere. The combination of voices adds an emotional depth that feels genuine and powerful.rThe production of the album is impeccable, with a sound that ranges from electronic to organic, always balancing the experimental with the accessible. Tracks like "Love Bites" and "Corazón" bring refreshing touches that invite you to dance and dive into the music, while songs like "Showstopper" and "Fantasy" capture the essence of Furtado as an artist constantly reinventing herself.r"7" is not just a collection of songs but a representation of Nelly Furtado's artistic evolution, blending her unique essence with contemporary sounds. This album is a testament to her passion for music and her ability to connect with audiences, offering something fresh, exciting, and deeply authentic.1.5 very poorKaty Perry 143rKaty Perry's latest album, 143, sadly falls short of the high expectations set by her earlier work. While it attempts to recreate the magic of her iconic Teenage Dream era, the effort feels more like a shallow imitation than a genuine artistic evolution. The lack of originality throughout the album is hard to overlook, with recycled themes and predictable melodies that fail to capture the infectious energy that once defined Perry's sound.rThe production, while aimed at creating a vibrant dance-pop experience, comes across as flat and uninspired. Tracks like "Woman?s World" and "Lifetimes" feel overly simplistic, lacking the depth and polish that Perry?s best songs usually carry. The collaborations, including features from artists like 21 Savage and Doechii, do little to elevate the overall quality, feeling more like attempts to stay relevant than meaningful creative choices.rDespite bringing back producers like Dr. Luke and Max Martin?who helped craft some of her biggest hits?the magic isn?t there. Instead of a fresh take on her signature style, 143 comes across as a nostalgia-driven project that never quite reaches the heights of Perry?s previous work. The album?s intention to be a joyous dance party is overshadowed by its lack of cohesion and substance.rIn trying to recreate the carefree spirit of Teenage Dream, 143 misses the mark, delivering a forgettable collection of songs that don?t stand out. It's a disappointing release from an artist who once set the bar for pop music but now seems stuck in the past, chasing former glory.1.0 awfulSam Smith Gloria
