Katy Perry

Since Katy Perry came out with her debut album, “One Of The Boys“, two years ago, she shocked the world with songs like “You’re So Gay” and “I Kissed A Girl“. And then she went on storming the charts with her hit “Hot and Cold“.

From then till now, new acts like Ke$ha and Lady GaGa have emerged and have changed the whole music scene. With this big change, it may risk Miss Perry of being a one-album-wonder. And nobody knows that better than Katy herself, and during a new interview with Nylon she said she’s ready to switch things up to stay relevant.

“You’ve got Lady Gaga, who’s like, from outer space; you’ve got Ke$ha, who’s the beer-drinking, house-party girl; and then you’ve got Rihanna, who’s transforming the urban world into her own outer space,” she explains. “But I feel like you’re missing an Alanis Morissette, 2010. I love how she was a voice for a lot of people who couldn’t explain their feelings. But it’s not like I’m not gonna compete. I love a good dose of healthy competition. It’s not going to be the same thing that they’re doing.”

“Sometimes I feel like I’m more of a Taylor Swift. She tells stories, and I think that’s what resonated with a lot of people.”

“Some of the kid shit I’ve grown out of completely,” Perry announces. “I feel like when I explain my transition visually, people understand. I’m taking it out of the Shirley Temple, Betty Boop, Lichtenstein kind of thing. It’s still fun, but it’s a bit darker. It’s not as annoying. Sometimes I feel like a big strawberry with a face on it. If you do something over and over again it’s like Chinese water torture. If it hits your head enough times, you want to die. You have to just evolve.”

The Hot and Cold singer will be out with a new album this summer and she describes her album as “a roller-disco ‘Lovefool’ by the Cardigans meets ‘I Saw the Sign’ by Ace of Base.”

We’ll see where she goes with this theme. The-Dream & Tricky, Greg Kurstin, Max Martin and Dr Luke are listed producers for this album…
