Katy Perry releases new compilation EP "Scorpio SZN"

[Roxxy]

Iggy Azalea's impact.

@Invitation I think it's a good idea. Yes, the idea is to generate more streams, but there's another motive to it. Katy Perry, for some reason, has been losing steam lately, there's a kinda backlash, and those EPs are a way to remind people of who Katy Perry was, of how big she used to be, the megastar that headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, her hits, etc.

Did it hit #1 yet or has it gone #2 with Smile blocking it from the top?

I know I haven't been that impressed with Katy lately, but with that said Champagne Problems is effing FLAWLESS and does NOT deserve to flop with the rest of this mess of an album/era.

 

Lewk and Vocals, slay a bit bish!

If CP were released in her peak, it would have been HUGE

This got to be the ugliest music trend I have ever seen, like you mean to tell me it's JUST a spotify playlist, with not one new song at all?????????????

What's next? Team Britney releasing an Ep called Midday Fantasy featuring Body Ache, Brave New Girl, Sometimes and Work Work (clean version)?

She could’ve put a remix on it or something.  New art maybe.  Sell a collectors physical edition with a little comic book inlay that includes lyrics.  Some creativity and fun for her now boutique following.  It’s a missed opportunity, but she still has already been doing so much.  All the cute animated videos, selling the fan made vinyl cover.  So let’s just hope she has a plan with this release because she has been trying.

A compilation of what exactly? 

I still don't understand why so many people found this post funny.

I actually don't mind this trend if it's done the way Taylor did it. "Folklore" is a bit too long for me, so I like that there's smaller EPs of it that are still cohesive both in terms of sound and story.  However, the way Katya Purina is doing it makes no sense and is completely redundant. 

[HeavenOnHell]

She should have at least included a new nursery rhymes for the kids...

Too bad. The Clown of Pop issa flop. Lol. 

[ALBAVEASP]

Katy will release a new EP/Playlist, Empowered, features her empowerment anthems from her projects. I don't know what her label's up to but... what the hell.

In other words, unlike Taylor Swift, I see this as a way to artists that aren't performing to record label standards and in this point Katy Perry and The Biebs, so this a way to speed up the contract. 

 

I bet you these aren't approved by the artists or else they would promote them on social media. So instead of being dropped, both parties can say the contract has been Fullfilled and no Longer needs to be obligated under legal terms. 

I thought that EPs don't count towards the contractual album count, hence artists usually releasing greatest hits and Christmas albums.

I think this is Capitol's way of trying to get more streams/attention, just like Big Machine did to Taylor with those terrible re-releases of her albums.
