Katy Perry's seventh album rollout faced rare missteps that highlighted a battle between nostalgia and current pop trends, affecting its reception and message.
While the lead single 'Woman's World' sought to capture a disco revival, the lyrical simplicity suggested more an advertisement than a musical comeback.
Amidst a backdrop of personal adversity, Perry failed to effectively address controversial producer Dr. Luke's presence, which undermined claims of women's empowerment in her work.
The album struggles under its own lack of urgency, juxtaposed with contemporary trends, marking it as a product of a saturated pop landscape.
