Three years after the record breaking Teenage Dream , Katy Perry will release her third studio album Prism on October 22nd.
As yet no tracklisting has been revealed , but Prism is tipped to be less bubblegum and more mature than the globe conquering Teenage Dream. That album spawned a record run of US Number 1 singles including Firework , E.T and Last Friday Night ( T.G.I.F )
Perry has been using a gold semi-truck that will visit various cities across the globe to promote the album. It made its first appearance Monday afternoon in LA , with the title and release date of the album emblazoned across the truck.
Online reports have also surfaced about the first single to be taken from Prism. Long time Perry producer Dr Luke has already tweeted that the song title begins with the letter R.
This has led to speculation the track is expected to be titled Roar or Rawr. It's been co-written by the legendary Max Martin and future pop queen Bonnie McKee. The song is expected to premiere towards the end of August.
With Perry and Gaga announcing new singles and albums within days of each other , expect a mammoth chart battle between the two this winter. Prism appears three weeks before ArtPop. Its a given that either album will accumulate the highest first week sales of any album in the US this year. But which one. Perry recently overtook Gaga as the second most followed person on Twitter.
But the pressure will be on both. Perry is coming off a huge single campaign with Teenage Dream. And then theres Gaga who soaks every new project in hype. It'll be an interesting winter for pop fans. But , regardless of chart positions , sales figures and critical acclaim , lets hope both women deliver some fantastic pop music once again
