Katy Perry Drops New Single ‘Small Talk’ with Lyric Video

0

Katy Perry is over small talk.

The pop star, 34, dropped her newest single on Thursday night with a lyric video for the track, titled “Small Talk,” which is all about the awkward distance that happens between ex-lovers after a breakup.

Perry wrote the song with Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Johan Carlsson and Charlie Puth, with the latter two producing, and Peter Karlsson producing the vocals.

Perry teased the song earlier in the week with a sequence of photos shared on Instagram that included snippets of the song.

The Instagram posts included notes “from the desk of Katy Perry,” that featured lyrics from the song, her second single of 2019.

“Isn’t it weird / That you’ve seen me naked / We had conversations about forever / Now it’s about the weather okay,” read the first lyric.

The second note followed, “Isn’t it wild / That I know your weakness / And everybody at the party thinks / That you’re the best since sliced bread.”

“I just can’t believe / We went from strangers to lovers to / Strangers in a lifetime,” read the third revealing note. A fourth note, posted Wednesday morning, read, “Acting like we never met / Faking like we’d just forget / We were lovers.”

Perry and her collaborators slammed the decision in a statement obtained by Variety.

“The writers of ‘Dark Horse’ view the verdicts as a travesty of justice,” the statement said. “There is no infringement. There was no access of substantial similarity. The only thing in common is unprotectable expression — evenly spaced ‘C’ and ‘B’ notes — repeated. People including musicologists from all over are expressing their dismay over this.

“We will continue to fight at all appropriate levels to rectify the injustice,” the statement concluded, indicating that Perry’s team will likely be appealing the decision.

Katy Perry Shares “Witness” Snippet

0

 

Well, this is interesting. Katy Perry set tongues wagging when a billboard went up in Times Square emblazoned with the date May 15. Fans guessed that she was going to announce the title of her new album, but it looks like the pop star is releasing a (not so) new single called “Witness.” The 32-year-old just posted a snippet of the track, which leaked over a year ago, on social media. “Can I get a witness (witness)? Will you be my witness (witness)?” she sings over ’90s-influenced dance beats. “I’m just looking for a witness in all of this, looking for a witness to get me through this.”

“Witness” has something of a history at this point. Not only has it leaked in various forms (at one point it had a Chance The Rapper feature), it’s also rumored to be the title of Katy’s fourth LP. After all, her Maison Margiela ensemble at the Met Gala had the word embroidered on the veil. What does this mean for “Bon Appetit”? Well, I guess it will be dismissed as a buzz track. Which is a shame because it’s a certified bop and the video is incredible. Hopefully, “Witness” will connect better with radio programmers and casual pop fans.
