Gaga Daily hosted a forum that discussed the song at length.
For example, user PMKKARDASHiAN says that the song has a definite “trippy/70sish/discoish/punkish” vibe that is rarely found in music these days, and my CD added that she greatly enjoys the song’s trip-hop feel, which she says suits Perry’s voice very well.
They compare the song’s sound to that of a piece by bands The Weeknd and Calvin Harris or the one heard in Jess Glynne’s “Hold My Hand,” suggesting that the song will be a bit more somber and soulful than Katy Perry’s traditional brand of candy-sweet, high-energy power pop, and user gagzus says that Katy is imitating the voice of fellow pop artist Sia during the song.
“She seems to be known as a bright happy popstar but she definitely excels at darker songs,” writes NickARTPOP.
But, as commenter HausOfNicole asks, was the “leak” a genuine breach or simply a clever viral marketing tool on Katy Perry’s part? It does help drum up interest in Perry’s music, she explains, and Katy just revealed a few days ago that she is embarking on a world tour in 2017.
“Sometimes I think these ‘leaks’ are totally staged,” HausOfNicole wrote.
