Critics began having their say on Friday morning, and while the album itself hasn’t been derided quite as much as lead single Woman’s World, early reviews are disappointed at Katy’s latest output, particularly given how strong some of her past pop offerings have been.
“Perry was always at her best when she was being playful On 143, that’s been replaced by a weariness of the industry she once dominated. Most songs here have an underlying hesitance, too preoccupied by their commercial aspirations to have any real fun.” “143 isn’t all that bad a pop album. In places, her melodic flourish and penchant for Millennial camp come to the fore in a manner that suggests the creative fires are still burning. There’s a curious sense of being out of time, however this feels curiously dated next to her blossoming peers.”“The album is flat, coasting on cascades of lyrical cliches and musical ideas that rarely crest.
“Pop fans have a fondness for resurrecting ‘flop’ albums that were given short shrift when they first came out: Mariah Carey’s ill-fated soundtrack album Glitter and Christina Aguilera’s sonic hodgepodge Bionic have both become cult classics of sorts. But even this fate seems unlikely for 143, a serviceable but slightly dull collection on which Perry struggles to relocate her old sense of fun.
