Where Katy is all "I was at the bar with my friend Olivia tryin my best to catch up" Nicki is "Doin shots with my bitch Olivia. My bitch Olivia. She's really a bitch and she's named OH-LIV-EE-A."

Someone has probably already pointed this out but "Aaliyah" is at least the second time in a Katy B song where there is some issue of someone not letting someone else get by, although in "Aaliyah" you can take it simply as metaphor.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 24 January 2013 05:29 (eleven years ago) link
Probably the earlier line makes me take the line in "Aaliyah" in a very physical way.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 24 January 2013 05:32 (eleven years ago) link
One thing that seems notable about Katy's songs is that so often they feel very physically situated, like she's really trying to place the listener into the environment using her lyrics. It's like she's stageblocking social situations. So a physical reading of that line seems appropriate to me.

Listening to On a Mission now. I don't remember if I've ever actually heard the whole album before, but it reinforces my sense that "Broken Record" is the best thing on it. I mean, "Katy on a Mission" isn't too far behind -- it's probably a more interestingly constructed song -- but I really ~feel~ "Broken Record."

I've said this before and quickly recanted for fear of getting the gasface, but the verses on Broken Record strongly remind me of the first part of Paranoid Android

was all for "Broken Record" before, glad critical consensus coalesced around it (because that album had like seven fucking singles) but now I'd say "Disappear" is by far best
― katherine, Sunday, 24 February 2013 01:48 (eleven years ago) link
"witches' brew" is far and away the best single and album standout imo
― lex pretend, Sunday, 24 February 2013 08:53 (eleven years ago) link
also i think "louder" is better than 90% of the album
it's weird putting them in order because the quality is very consistent across the album, for the most part - there isn't much separating these at all
witches' brew > lights on > katy on a mission > (louder) > go away > easy please me > power on me > movement > broken record > water > why you always here > something new > disappear > hard to get
