Euronews Culture’s Critique of Manu Chao, Jamie xx & Katy Perry’s Latest Albums

After long hiatuses, three major musical artists, Manu Chao, Jamie xx, and Katy Perry, are all making comebacks with new albums. Manu Chao, known for his fusion of Latin and Caribbean sounds, returns with “Viva Tu” after a 17-year break, offering a familiar evolution of his signature vibe. Jamie xx delights fans with “In Waves,” a dance floor-friendly record filled with collaborations and genre-bending tracks that showcase his talents. On the other hand, Katy Perry’s return with “143” has been marred by controversy and lackluster music, with critics panning the album for its clichéd lyrics and uninspired pop sound. Despite facing challenges, all three artists aim to make their mark once again in the music industry with their new releases. Manu Chao scores a 3/5 for his familiar yet engaging comeback, while Jamie xx receives a stellar 5/5 for his energizing sophomore effort. Unfortunately, Katy Perry falls short with a disappointing 1/5 due to a lack of innovative and enjoyable music on “143.” Music fans will have to see which of these comebacks will ultimately succeed in capturing the hearts of listeners once again.
