Katy Perry celebrated the release of her new album, Prism, on Tuesday night with several thousand of her nearest and dearest fans The star took to the stage at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, California for a performance and Q&A with Mario Lopez, which was live-streamed on 175 Clear Channel stations.
The songstress, who turns 29 on Friday, wowed the audience with her rendition of Roar, though all eyes were on her rather interesting ensemble, which consisted of a silver leotard worn under a clear plastic dress, with silver hologram-look belt, fishnet stockings and white platform heels.
She was flanked by two backing singers clad in white dresses and lace-up ankle boots and a four-piece band also wearing all white as she treated her adoring public to a sample of her new work The feisty singer wore her black locks in a wavy styled down ‘do and went a little overboard with the bronzer on her face, clearly going for that sun-kissed look.
Purple lipstick added to her unusual overall appearance, though she somehow managed to pull it off Katy Perry appeared happy and relaxed as she later sat down with the Extra TV host to talk about her album, which drops today Talking previously to USA Today, she revealed that Prism is ‘less over-the-top and more “me”‘.
‘There were good songs that I left off, like Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Reborn. It’s gritty and angry and has a dark side, and it didn’t fit how I feel now,’ she explained of her writing process. ‘Sometimes you have to write those songs to get them out of the way Telling the publication she is ‘very excited to unleash’ her latest baby to the world, the ever-optimistic star admitted she doesn’t think ‘the idea that light always wins over the darkness’ is ‘cheesy’.
Recalling how Prism came to life, Perry revealed she spent plenty of productive time in the studio in Santa Barbara with Bonnie McKee, Dr Luke and Cirkut, before retreating to Stockholm, Sweden where she recorded with Max Martin, Bloodshy and Klas Ahlund of Teddybears It was during her time in Sweden that she wrote three additional songs for the album she had already deemed complete.
‘Max and Luke push me harder than anyone else, which is irritating, but the stuff we end up with is incredible. They call my bluff if something’s not good enough,’ she says The additions to Prism are said to have come after Perry split briefly from boyfriend John Mayer.
