Perry is yet to confirm or deny reports of the album’s completion but has revealed that it is inspired by the changing political landscape.
I’m working with a lot of unexpected writers and producers and … that’s bringing out a lot of different things sonically.Even when I was working with my go-to producers, I’d always push them to play me a beat that was reserved for Three 6 Mafia or something like that… I know exactly how to write a lyric over that because my strengths are melody and lyrics. I’m putting myself in unexpected situations and that is breeding a lot of new color.

But what if we don’t want it.
Im here for her positive uplifting music. She’s coming for Gaga,Bey and the Rh!!tard.
Then don’t buy it.
Well clearly I’m not going to am I.
She probably can’t afford it
She’s another shady queen, which i totally support that behavior, BUT her vocals are usually water-weak. her live vocals are also scary. She sounds like a CAT being run over by a lawnmower.
Gosh, then don’t. Who cares? If you don’t like an artist or their music, then don’t buy/stream it and leave it at that. Why do people feel the need to tell others that they won’t buy a new album by whoever?
No shade but, is anyone checking for a new album from her. When it comes to singles and promo she is always solid and consistent. However I feel like she always gets lost in he shuffle!
Her album sales are solid so someone is checking for it
We shall see. I won’t count her out.
I won’t either.I love me some corny ass fun pop bop/urban soaked katy Perry.. We’ve been missing some of that in music.You go Katy
I don’t want another politically charged album to be honest. It comes off very try hard. Why does everyone feel the need to make statement/movement albums now? I get you wanting to make meaningful music but there are other ways to do it than bringing politics, race, pro black and feminist into it. I just want good music love that is reflective and relatable to be honest.
“Reflective and relatable music” so true.
You’re more than welcome to be sheep who is lost in the sauce. Some of us can handle a harder truth through music.
A year ago artist made fun music and people were “How come they don’t make real music with meaning?” Now it’s the other way around, people and their short term memory make me sick.
That’s the thing…why artist feel like you have to talk about politics and race issues for your music to be considered good. Me personally, I find fun music and music about love “good” as well. Its all about the writing and composition. Case and point, Beyoncé’s All night, a well written song about love is 10x better than the songs where she tries hard to make a policical and pro black message. Rihanna’s love on the brain 10x better than American Oxygen. Just my take.
I think we’re missing our me, myself & I, dirrty, case of the ex kind of tracks. If your going to be political then theirs other ways you can do it. Don’t get me wrong I’m here for the empowerment of black people but why now? Lauryn Hill has been doing this year’s ago. Mos def the list goes on. Do I want hear a song about Donald Trump.no I don’t.
She can keep it! The world has moved on.
I would love to hear some new music from her.
Lost interest.
I love katy something about her is authentic.I’m here for a.switch up n sound and using her platform to spread a mssg some refuse dut definitely need to hear
She finished her album before TLC it’s a damn shame
And she’s never had an album sell as big as a TLC album, that’s the damn shame.
She’s never been in the high selling times for music as tlc was. So any comparison is stupid
Yep, that’s why in the 90s when there was a girl group in every corner, TLC were the only group that went diamond.
@Mark – I did not say that TLC wasn’t successful nor did I say that they weren’t the highest selling girlgroup. What I did say was that you cannot compare the absolut numbers of Katy’s past 2000 sales to TLC’s numbers in the 90ies
This is album is going to FLOP badly. Tity is like 33. Nobody is going to want hear generic kid bop pop songs from a woman who’s old enough to be people’s mother. Her streaming is average and she won’t be moving albums now that the climate is awful.
True T
How is her streaming average when the last time she released was before streams really blew up? Try again. Prism is still one of the most streamed albums on Spotify despite this
Is that Taylor Swift’s cat?
Good luck hon lol.
Her last single bombed. This album will either make or break her. I honestly forgot about her…
Rise wasn’t a single
well rihanna flopped with American oxygen and flop seconds. but she came back hard. anyhow, f*ck them both
She can keep it, no one is here for it just like no one was here for that drown/ drop trash song….
.
I really don’t see it for her in 2017 hopefully the world left her in 2014
She will flop, she has reached the dreaded 30 years… No one will play her crap.
When’s the last time Shakira had a top ten hit? She Wolf?
She’ll do well, Katy make music that caters to everyone, new and old. I’m looking forward to her urban pop 2nd single (ET/Dark Horse)
I’m ready for some not so serious, fun music. You are welcome Miss Hudson.
LOL where did my Gravatar go? This site…smh
Lol at people saying Katy won’t sell because shes older. It’s 2017. People no longer care about young hot popstars. That formula does not work anymore, hence why Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and 5H aren’t topping any charts or moving units. Sia, who is 41, outsold all of these young girls and launched bigger hits. That being said, Katy will come for wigs. Rise did well and it wasn’t even a single and didn’t get the single treatment. I will wait for her to confirm a released date and single though.
I hope you are right about market trends. However, I do think Rise got single treatment as we understand the concept today; it just underperformed. When an established artist puts out a song, the label checks for the initial reaction on iTunes, youtube, and the other streaming platforms. If the song isn’t catching on, they call it a buzz single and move on.
Sia is really killing the game. She also earned multiple Grammy nominations. Not to mention her album is selling as much As Anti, and still charting in UK.
Beyonce jealous s***** slaves will always have something negative to say about other artists…. When it is clear that Bitchyonce lack talent and the only way out for her is booty shaking… Katy is your storm, embrace this fact or get wrecked.
I don’t like Beyonce, but saying Beyonce doesn’t have talent is like saying the moon shines in the day.
There are things too obvious, it becomes pathetic, try another drag.
LOL she wishes
Taylor Swift’s album is the most anticipated of the year because ya know, she’s actually won AOTY twice and is known for releasing quality albums
Damn It Christina, where you at?
I’m rooting for Katy. That snake Taylor Swoft needs some competition Rihanna and Lady GaGa both flopped hard. Adele only puts out albums every 3/4 years and Beyoncé is in a league all by herself.
Rihanna is far from flopping babe and you know it look at Billboard top 200 and hot 100 babe u will see my fave a year later Anti is the top charting female album at 11
Nice can’t wait to hear what she has for us.
.
Also I read Taylor Swift new album is going to be focused on BLM, not sure if it’s true though.
Taylor doing an album about BLM? Surely this is some kind of joke?!
Yea i read it in an article that was circulating on twitter. It said the Album would follow the lines of Brucr Springsteens album about 9/11. She won’t specifically mention the movement but the album will hint toward the movement if that that makes any since.
The irony.. I’m listening to a playlist of KP’S hits on Apple while reading y’all shade her on TGJ.
Anyhow, I trust Katy is capable of tapping into the zeitgeist and garnering at least one more smash for her next album. Can she reach her One of the Boys/Teenage Dream era success again is the real question.
ugh! please keep it.
I don’t need to hear her corny ass music and ugly ass voice. bye.
Here for Katy
When’s the last time Shakira had a top ten hit? She Wolf? Beautiful Liar?
Ok. This is quite exciting tbh, I can’t imagine Katy is making an artistic album. But I’m glad that Rih,Katy and Gaga are going the artistic route As well As becoming more secretive and mysterious like Beyonce. Dec 13th 2013 really changed the game.
Nice
