Katy Perry Claims She Exchanged Dark Material For Light In New Record 'Prism'

American pop superstar Katy Perry has revealed that she’s decided to head down a happier route with her new album ‘Prism’, despite earlier claims that she’d be doing the opposite.
Perry has lied-up an October 22 release for her new album, and ahead of its release, she’s opened up about what it’ll be like. But, rather than featuring a lot of ‘darkness’ like some had previously thought (she recently revealed lead single ‘Roar’ was inspired by a stint in therapy), she’s actually taken that darkness and transformed it into light - something that led to the title ‘Prism’.
“There's not really any darkness on the record. There's definitely some textures and colours but I think I was saying that when I was going through a different phase, but I really let that light in."The reason why I called this record Prism is because I actually finally let the light in and then I was able to create all these songs that were inspired by letting the light in and doing some self-reflection and just kind of working on myself.”
She continued:
"I felt very prismatic because of that; I feel like now I get to show these songs off and share these songs with the listeners and it's almost like I get to beam the colours that I've experienced out from me.”
Perry releases ‘Roar’ in the UK on September 8 - you can check out the lyric video for it below. Will you be grabbing her new album? Leave us a comment in the box below!
