The Deep Cuts Series: Katy Perry

[Adriannn]

What's up, Exhale

I hereby present the fifth delivery in The Deep Cuts Series, taking the name of the once pop-ruler: Katy Perry.

In spite of how problematic and rollercoaster-like her career has been (and quite frowned-upon here on Exhale), we can't deny that she has bops on bops. 

As you know, I will enlist my top 10 of my favorite deep cuts in her discography; then, I will proceed with honorable mentions.

You will find the first four parts of this series in the opening comment.

I want to take a break from it so as not to saturate  but feel free to suggest who can be next.

1. Legendary Lovers
2. Tucked
3. Hummingbird Heartbeat
4. If You Can Afford Me
5. I'm Still Breathing
6. Lost
7. Ghost
8. Act My Age
9. Hackensack
10. Roulette

 

 

HONORABLE MENTIONS

• Dressin' Up
• Love Me
• Double Rainbow
• Cry About it Later
• Brick by Brick
• Teary Eyes
• By The Grace of God
• International Smile 

 

 

 

• I also think I should mention the solo version of 'Bon Appétit'.
• I didn't include 'Walking on Air' because somehow I think it has had its moment, but it's a marvelous song.

 

 

 

A big shoutout to @Ehju0901, for collecting all these deep cuts in the following playlist:

I couldn’t agree more with this list 

[Unbroken]

Also Tucked is very underrated, I low key wish Britney had recorded it

Ghost and Tucked are immaculate pieces 

But you’re partially right, let me edit the OP

• Not Like the Movies 
• Pearl
• Mannequin 
• Hummingbird Heartbeat (Should’ve been a single tbh) 
• Witness ( not sure it could be considered a deep cut since it’s also the title of the infamous album) 
• Mind Maze

'Pearl' is such a cute song. 'Witness' the song had so much potential. I remember she teased it back then and it sounded more upbeat. It got me reallly hyped, but once the album was out, it turned out to be too slow. The melody is great, but a midtempo production would've been awesome!

1. Pearl

2. Circle The Drain

3. Not Like The Movies

4. Walking On Air

5. I'm Still Breathing 

6. Lost

I’m not much of a Katy fan but I do enjoy “Hey Hey Hey” and “If We Ever Meet Again.”

Next installment: Nelly Furtado, J Lo…

Taste! I didn’t include ‘Walking on Air’ because it had its little moment, I think. The song is phenomenal, though. I’m shocked that you’re the only one who’s brought it up. Should I edit the OP to include it?
