Katy Perry – Lifetimes

Some news today to bring you all on the first single to be released from Katy Perry`s album “143” which is due for release on September the 20th. The long awaited return of KP sees her bring an uptempo 120bpm UK house/dance track called “Lifetimes”, which apparently is an ode to her daughter. Awwwww.

As ode`s to daughters go, this one seems to have turned out to be a bit of a bop, and should be the golden ticket to a return to the charts world-wide, and hopefully the rest of the songs on the new album are up to par too. Yes, everyone will spot the vibe that goes back to the good ol days of KP`s heyday circa 2010, and if I`m honest, that`s probably a good thing here. Keep it simple, keep it catchy. Sprinkle on some cheese. Voila.

The big elephant in the room cant be avoided though and I`m almost excited to see how Lifetimes takes off in the USA pop charts, because, it just sounds so bloody British ! Is America ready for some more UK House to hit the top of the charts the same way as Beyonce sort of did recently with the UK flavoured Organ House banger Break My Soul ? I hope so.

Lifetimes has the two main things a UK house track has, a “lately” bass and a “jingy jingy” piano. oh, and some drums, luckily in the style house heads all over the world are familiar with. Shame there`s no M1 organ to compliment stuff, but Im sure there will be one on the way soon via the remixes I`m also very much looking forward to, but its the piano in all its glorious jingliness that takes the spotlight.

Out now on Capital Records.
