Oh wow! :wub:

 

AHHHHH THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING.

So ridiculously excited for this! She has a lot to live up to though, Teenage Dream was such an amazing era :wub:

Exciting! I take this to mean the album is her reflecting upon herself, so hopefully the ballads are just as good as those on Teenage Dream, along with the uptempos which she's sure to kill anyway! :D

I was immediately reminded of Pearl when I read it was titled Prism. :kink: Hopefully there's another gem like that on this album. Really looking forward to it, though! :w00t:

Sounds promising.

OMG WOT

OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

SHE'S WRITTEN WITH EMELI. WOT. QUEEN.

Quite risky going for a Q4 release, especially since this year it looks like she'll have competition from most of her major rivals. I could easily see her getting overshadowed by Gaga, Rihanna and Beyonce (in terms of album sales atleast).

Will she really have that much competition from Rihanna, though? This is Katy's third 'incarnation' (if you like), and she's just going from strength to strength. Each year Rihanna just comes back with the same thing, and it got boring a while ago (after the Loud era). I think Katy would come out on top between the two of them.

Well i can bet you she wont be overshadowed by Beyonce who keeps pushing back her album since march

I doubt a Q4 release would be a problem for Katy at all going into her third album when her last one was so massive. It's out a month before Gaga and she had by far the best singles campaign out of them last time round so if this one is handled as well.

I'd actually argue that Katy Perry was the bigger star out of all the main popstars (GaGa, Beyoyo, RiRi etc..) so a Q4 release should not be a problem for her, imo.

Looking forward to Adult Reality (Doing Well In Therapy). :wub:

Katy's official website katyperry.com has relaunched! It currently just displays "Prism 22.10.13".

OOOH THIS IS AMAZING!!

 

Is she releasing it the 13th or just premiering it?

 

It's going to be so hard to live up to Teenage Dream however AND the single choices.

What? Katy Perry had the most success out of all of them last time, Beyonce has the least success so how would Beyonce compete with Katy? :S GaGa/ Rihanna aren't usually as successful as Katy Perry, who is as relevant as Rihanna.

From the same press release that I found on Popjustice that I have just posted about in the single thread, this is what it says about the album:

CAPITOL RECORDS WILL RELEASE PERRY’S NEW ALBUM, PRISM, ON OCTOBER 22ND IN THE U.S. AND CANADA; OCTOBER 27TH IN THE REST OF THE WORLD PRISM IS THE FOLLOW-UP TO MULTI-PLATINUM STAR’S RECORD BREAKING SMASH TEENAGE DREAM

 

August 1, 2013 — New York, NY — Global pop superstar Katy Perry returns to set airwaves ablaze with a scorching brand-new single “ROAR,” which ignites radio with a surprise release on August 9. The single will be available for sale digitally worldwide on August 13.

 

The track will be a part of Perry's upcoming third studio album "PRISM," through Capitol Records, that will be released in October. The first run of the release will feature a limited edition lenticular cover. Full press release coming soon.

Yeah, but I guess I'm still a little bit unsure about whether her last era being so huge was a one-off or not. I just get the sense that Gaga and Rihanna have bigger hardcore followings than Katy does (I think a lot of her fans are more "casual") and possibly Beyonce too, and she defintely has a lower media profile than any of them, so I could potentially see her getting screwed over if the release schedule is as competitive as it's currently looking. Hopefully not though.
