KATY PERRY

Witness Capitol

She once roared. But now, we’ll just call it meowing.

Katy Perry limps into her fourth album with a collection of songs that don’t have a cohesive feel or message. It’s a random hodgepodge of tracks that don’t spark or shine. Some of the tunes are cute, but most are forgettable.

Witness doesn’t offer a fresh, or refreshed, Perry — the only thing new about her is that haircut.

Vocally, she doesn’t sound inspired. And while Witness isn’t expected to be the year’s best album, what was expected was some fun, killer pop hits.
