So the first of two huge pop events this month (new singles from two pop heavyweights) have happened, as it turns out, only a day apart. Katy Perry's new single was released according to schedule, whilst GaGa's new single 'Applause' was meant to come a week after. However, as it seems to be more increasingly the norm with big releases, it didn't go to plan. More on the Lady GaGa debacle shortly. However this post we are focusing on Katy's 'Roar'. After a few listens of the tune now, my opinion can be summed up in a word: Meh. Yes. Meh. I saw on a random post somewhere that 'Roar' sounded like Sara Bareilles' latest song 'Brave', and that is a spot-on description, only, Sara's song is just a touch better. She promised big things (like GaGa did) and quite frankly couldn't live up to the promise. Maybe her album "Prism", in which from the side photo, she seems to have pulled out all the stops to promote, will fare better. She does generally deliver on albums. Who knows, maybe I will end up liking it better but for now, it's a meh for me. 'Roar' is available at Aus iTunes now. "Prism" has a worldwide release on October 22.
