KATY PERRY
The bright, glossy and cheery dance pop rolled out on the 5th album by the former Katheryn Hudson reacts to the fallout of the 2016 US election. But downheartedness is not an option – “you can’t break me”, promises KP. Nicki Minaj guests on the buffeted beat hot-stepping Swish Swish. Katy’s day-glo revolution has a target market in sight put proves a boon for allcomers with sonic textures and attitude that beguile and entrance (Tsunami). A sugar-coated insurrection – suck it and see.
