As a seasoned music critic with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest album release from Katy Perry, titled “143,” left me feeling rather underwhelmed. Having grown accustomed to her unique blend of pop and catchy hooks, this latest offering seems to be missing the mark for me.


On Thursday, Katy Perry posted an Instagram video showcasing the process of transforming herself into an unusual, zippered-bag style outfit.

While preparing for the Balenciaga Paris Fashion Week event, Katy went over her usual steps alongside Vogue.

The hitmaker, 39, wore an unusual zipped bag black dress to the star-studded runway show.

Throughout the video, Katy playfully mocked her versatile purse and stowed some items into its compartments specifically for that event.

Lately, it’s been said that Katy Perry supposedly aimed to leverage her romance with fiancé Orlando Bloom to boost sales for her latest album, 143, although they have generally kept their relationship out of the spotlight for many years.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself navigating a challenging promotional journey for my latest album, marking my seventh studio release. Regrettably, it seems that this album has received the lowest Metacritic score since 2011, having been released just last month.

spectators found themselves taken aback when Katy chose to disclose intimate details regarding her relationship with the 47-year-old British actor and also posted provocative images of him online, hinting at upcoming songs.

The A list couple also enjoyed a steamy kiss after she performed live at the MTV VMAs.

However, efforts to increase album sales, which had Dr. Luke as a controversial producer, reportedly proved unsuccessful, according to sources within the industry. They labeled the album and its promotional campaign a “disaster” or “train wreck.

According to an exclusive source, Katy seems to fear she might not bounce back from this situation, and she’s been pointing fingers at others rather than taking responsibility herself. (DailyMail.com)

It unfolded much like a gradual, tragic accident – everyone could predict what would happen, but nonetheless, the decision to employ Dr. Luke was hers.

The source added: ‘She’s been attempting to market it by emphasizing her sensuality and leveraging Orlando for comedic references related to their intimate life to boost its popularity.’

She believed that by exposing more skin and being more provocative, she could attract more attention or media coverage (approximately 143 instances).

The couple got engaged in 2019, and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, the following year. 

The British actor also shares son Flynn, 13, with his ex-wife, model Miranda Kerr, 41.

Initially, Katy began sharing more content related to Orlando as she faced criticism regarding the release of her album’s lead single, “Woman’s World.

Although marketed as a powerful feminist song, it was criticized for being repetitive, insincere, and following a familiar pattern instead.

Additionally, some people raised concerns because Katy worked with music producer Dr. Luke, who had been accused of sexual misconduct by Kesha in a case that eventually got dropped. However, Dr. Luke has repeatedly stated that he is innocent of these accusations.

A few days following the song’s debut, Katy posted an uncommon video showing Bloom taking off his shirt while they both jogged on adjacent treadmills.

After some time had passed, the singer known for her peacock-inspired performances boldly admitted that she had playfully acknowledged her appreciation for her partner by performing a certain act in response to his diligence with household tasks.

In a candid discussion on Call Her Daddy, the singer openedly discussed her preferred ways of expressing and receiving love, having been in a relationship with the Lord of the Rings actor for eight years.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I might say something like this: “When I walk into the kitchen and find it spotlessly clean, every dish put away, and the pantry doors neatly closed, I can’t help but feel appreciative. But if you’ve made such an effort to keep our space tidy, then you should be prepared for a little token of gratitude—a surprise kiss on your favorite spot!

‘I mean like literarily. That is my love language.’ 

At the closing of the video, Perry, who earlier referred to Orlando as a “wild stallion,” jokingly declared: “I don’t need a red Ferrari! I could buy a red Ferrari. Just do the dishes. And if you do, I’ll reward you by performing an intimate act. It’s that simple.

During interviews leading up to the event, the performer kept making playful remarks. Then, they shared a romantic moment on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, where Katy Perry received the Video Vanguard Award.

The pair couldn’t resist touching one another, and they shared a kiss on stage moments after he awarded her the trophy.

Orlando paid a sweet tribute to his ‘loving and irresistible’ fiancée during his speech.

He told the audience: ‘She loves with her whole heart, and it’s kind of irresistible. I see it reflected everywhere; in our home, in her love for her work, but especially in her love for her fans. Congratulations on this honor, baby, I’m so proud of you. 1-4-3. Ladies and gentleman, your 2024 MTV video vanguard: Katheryn Hudson, Katy Perry.’

In her acceptance speech, she playfully joked with the audience about their relationship, saying, “I want to thank Orlando for keeping me humble, making my life special, and handling the chores like dish-washing.

The title of the star’s album contains a secret message that translates to ‘I love you’, a common way of expressing affection through messages sent via pagers in the 1990s.

In her statement, Katy explained that she aimed to produce an energetic, festive dance-pop album, with the recurring theme being the number 143, which represents love in a symbolic manner.

This new release was their first studio album since “Smile” in 2020, but it didn’t match the popularity of their past albums like its predecessors did.

One damning review from a top entertainment outlet declared that Katy ‘struggles to reclaim past glory on the flat 143.’ 

According to The Guardian’s review, the album received a rating of two out of five stars. They commented that while the album wasn’t as bad as anticipated, it still didn’t meet their expectations for being particularly good.

According to Mark Kennedy from AP, he found the album to be lacking in inspiration and not memorable. He further commented that the album seemed devoid of any soul or emotional depth; instead, it appeared as nothing more than a mere sequence of numbers (143).

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d say I was left feeling a bit disappointed when I encountered this particular item. It seemed to be stuck in the past, painfully so, and lacked the contemporary appeal that I look for in my daily choices. It felt like it was out of sync with current trends, making it hard to connect with on a personal level.

In his review for Variety, critic Steven J. Horowitz noted that, similar to her recent albums, the lyrics in ‘143’ appear to be full of overused phrases or ideas, suggesting they might have been created by an artificial intelligence.
