ADRIAN THRILLS: Katy Perry was once so captivating but her latest album is a damp squib


ADRIAN THRILLS: Katy Perry's momentum has stalled of late, and the countdown to 143, her first album in four years, has been far from smooth.

Famous for her peppermint swirl dresses and candy-coated pop, Katy Perry was a breath of fresh air when she first swept onto the music scene with 2008's breakthrough single I Kissed A Girl and a debut album, One Of The Boys, bursting with verve and personality. The three singles released up front have all flopped spectacularly, with none even making the UK Top 40, while Perry sparked an environmental controversy when her video producers were investigated for filming promotional material, allegedly without proper authorisation, on the protected sand dunes of S'Espalmador in the Balearic Islands. Her summer comeback single Woman's World was widely panned, as was her decision to resume her creative partnership with one of her original collaborators Lukasz Gottwald (aka Dr. Luke), a producer who was accused of sexual, physical and emotional abuse by the singer Kesha.
