☀️Lo que hubo y hay tras ENVIDIA☀️
[PARTE 7] - Vídeo completo en Instagram (IGTV)]
Los sintetizadores, el whammy, las referencias de guitarristas y el cómo Desequilibrio se deformó dejando lo clásico atrás, adaptándose a un sonido moderno y futurista🤘🏻🎸

1. Never Really Over - Let’s start this off controversially: I don’t like this song. I know it’s a song everyone (most people?) like, but I think it’s way too bubblegummy, it’s way too bright and silvery (if that makes sense), it feels dated and I hate the sped-up chorus. It sounds like a tongue-twister, and not a good one. Since it’s a Zedd produced song it has that clock ticking. The music video is beautiful, she looks good in Iris Van Herpen. 6/10
2. Cry About It Later - This song is a cute song. i liked it a lot when I first listened to it, but now I find it shallow and repetitive, and boring. Especially after watching the music video which I didn’t like. This song talks about partying with your friends and having fun, and crying about your boyfriend breaking up with you later. Production-wise it’s good, it sounds 80s, it sounds dark and mysterious and that’s exciting. I also like how the production gets stronger as the song progresses. That all being said, this song is near the top - it’s not like it has much competition, let’s be real. 8/10
3. Teary Eyes - I’m pretty sure this is either my first or second favorite song on the album. It sounds a bit dated (like the rest of the album), but in a different way. It sounds like the EDM wave of music that took over briefly from 2010 to 2014-ish, it also reminds me a lot of Walking on Air from Prism, now THAT’S a bop. This song is good, the lyrics are about dancing with teary eyes. If I had a complaint, I wish the song would go harder, especially towards the end of the song to avoid it getting stale, because the chorus is very repetitive. I appreciate the production a lot, that’s a good thing. 8/10
4. Daisies - Now this is one of my favorite songs on the album too. I don’t know what it is about it. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the first “actual” single from this album, and it’s different from the rest of the album, it’s more acoustic and her vocals sound heavenly. I am a corny hoe and the lyrics “when did we all stop believing in magic?” is really cute but it’s also true. It’s about growing up and proving yourself, and that’s what this song is about. Even if I’m an ex-Katycat, Katy Perry will forever have a special place in my heart because she basically defined my teenage years (Teenage Dream came out when I was 15, which is like, perfect). Yes, I can confidently say I love this song. 9/10
5. Resilient - Katy Perry is really good at feel-good anthems, you know, those songs that remind you you’re a star and you’re worth it. The issue here is that these songs are very 2013, she did it before with Firework, Part of Me and Roar (and probably many more). It really isn’t that novel of a song, it sounds a bit dated, but I do like the melody in the chorus, it’s quite catchy (if you like the song, I guess). It’s really not my favorite song on the album, it might actually be one of my least favorites. 5/10
6. Not the End of the World - This is the darkest song on the album, it’s weirdly different but that works. It feels a bit dated, like if Skrillex produced it in 2014 and it was shelved. But not in a bad way. It has a delightful trap beat that flows through the song, and the lyrics are about finding hope after being hurt, because it’s not the end of the world, so not the most exciting song lyrically, but production-wise is one of the best. Also the Bananarama sample in the end is a nice touch, and it fits nicely within the song, although I kinda wish that sample had been used more. 8/10
7. Smile - The chorus is catchy. That’s for sure, I’ve had it stuck in my mind for a couple days now. The rest of the song? Eh… The music video is cute, I love the animations, it looks expensive, she always serves visually. This song, though… It’s dated, it’s tired, it’s nothing we hadn’t heard before. It’s somewhat exciting, you can dance to it and for that it gets some points. It’s also really repetitive. She repeats the chorus 8 times. 4/10
8. Champagne Problems - Who writes a song called “Champagne Problems” in 2020? I never thought we would see another “Champagne Problems” in 2020 after having “Champagne Problems” in 2016 and 2017 (with Nick Jonas and Meghan Trainor, respectively). It’s, um… a song on the album that has a beat and lyrics. I don’t know… I don’t like it. “Champagne Problems” sounds like a blast from the past, in the sense that it would’ve fit way better in any of her previous albums. I am not here for it and I’m sorry to whoever likes this song. 3/10
9. Tucked - This song reminds me of a The Ting Tings song. And they’re one of my favorite bands. This song is oddly fun and entertaining, the melody in the chorus is really catchy, I like the build-up that sounds disco-y, and the “na na na, na na na na” post-chorus, that might be one of my favorite moments on this entire album. The lyrics are about fantasizing about someone who’s not good for you in real life. It’s a very basic pop song but it’s one of those that I like for whatever reason, unlike the previous one. 8/10
10. Harleys In Hawaii - Writing this review I penned “Daisies” as my favorite song on this album, and then I remembered this song is also on the album lol THIS is my favorite song on the album. It stands out because it’s the only song that sounds tropical, it sounds breezy and it has a slight trap beat. I get that it was originally released without this album in mind, but I’m glad she included it. Out of all her droplets from last year, this one is my favorite. I actually became obsessed with it after going home with a guy on Halloween and he kept playing this song because he was obsessed with it, and it kinda stuck. It reminds me somewhat of “High By The Beach” by Lana Del Rey, if it were more upbeat and pop, but the resemblance is there. 10/10
11. Only Love - This song flew completely under my radar the first time I listened to the album in full. And listening to it again I’m reminded why. It’s boring. It’s a love ballad that also really sounds like something that could’ve been in either of her first four albums, especially Prism or Teenage Dream. Lyrically it’s a beautiful song, though, and the lyrics surprised me a lot. However, no matter how much I like the lyrics, the song in itself isn’t that good. It also comes after 10 very… not so good songs. 5/10
12. What Makes a Woman - The first time I listened to this song I remember liking it. It reminds me of a song from Kesha’s album “Rainbow”, a folky song, and the melody in the chorus reminds me A LOT of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus (I hope you all hear this too and tell me I’m not crazy). It’s a cute song, especially to close out the album. But it’s not one of my favorites, and I haven’t actually listened to it again since listening to the album the day it came out.I like how it feels like she’s finally feeling good again after talking about her battle with depression in the past. I love that she ends with “There it is, Katheryn”. There it is indeed. 7/10
