Katy Perry’s new song “Bon Appetit” has caught my attention from the first time I heard it. The first time I heard it, I found it to be refreshing and slightly experimental. It stood out from the rest, but now, with the video being evenly refreshing and slightly odd, I love the track even more.
Katy is not the one to back away from a little bit of a risk nor from a little bit of crazy. It’s the thing we like her for, though I’m not really sure about what the press is thinking about her.
For the first time in her career, I’ve seen the American press trying to rain on her parade. They were pointing out poorer record sales and bad choices of collaborations, including the one with rapper Migos on “Bon Appetit”.
Look, I don’t know what they are on about. I think “Chained to the Rhythm” and “Bon Appetit” are the best tracks I’ve heard from her in a while and the videos for those songs were both very creative. Both songs caught my attention mainly due to the fact that they were a little unpredictable the first time I heard them. I wasn’t able to pick up the lyrics of “Chained To The Rhythm” right away and be able to sing along with the chorus at the end of the song. “Bon Appetit”’s chorus is a lot easier.
