Katy Perry has finally addressed reuniting with Dr. Luke.
The matter has served as somewhat of a dark cloud of debate hovering over the Pop star’s forthcoming album ‘143’ (due September 20).

As reported, the years-long legal wrangle concluded last year, with both parties effectively dropping their respective cases.
Still, some corners of public opinion haven’t been favorable towards Luke and, in reuniting with him (after a break that interestingly mirrors much of the the legal case), Perry is catching flack.
After a measured silence, she is now turning the volume up on reuniting with Luke (who helmed some of her biggest hits, including ‘Roar,’ ‘California Gurls,’ and ‘Dark Horse’).
