Music Short Review:Electric (Katy Perry)

What we expect from Katy Perry's music is simple and clear. It is a cool chorus with a bright atmosphere that exudes positive emotions. And her new song definitely captures that point. The lyrics about believing in the power within you resemble “Firework,” and the chorus, which rises high with a bright atmosphere, is a mix of “Never Really Over” and “Daisies.” However, “Electric” creates a synergy that goes beyond simple combination. The hook, which is spit out as if shouting the name of a Pokémon's skill, embroiders every part of the song, emphasizing its clear point and becoming an upgraded version of the empty chorus of “NRO.” The first chorus, which ends sooner than expected, makes one wonder if this song also falls into a vain build-up phase like “Daisies,” but when the second chorus hits the ears along with the extended part, that anxiety soon turns into great catharsis. .

Due to the extremely long gap after the teaser and the fact that the song was created during the Witness sessions, I sometimes thought that fans who were waiting for the release might have had too high expectations. But listening to it now, I realize that they won in the end. No one knows whether this song will be a turning point in Katy Perry's career, and it is also unclear whether the Pokemon team will enthusiastically push this single. But let's put those worries aside and enjoy this song. This song is already great in itself because it makes me nervous. This may be a statement made under the influence of hype right after its release, but I dare say it. “Electric” is a song that is enough to become a new reference point for Katy Perry’s music.
