Katy Perry - Prism
16 tracks include the No. 1 single "Roar" and "Unconditionally" Three bonus tracks — "Spiritual" "It Takes Two" and "Choose Your Battles" Gatefold double LP "Prism reveals Katy Perry at her most empowered." — Billboard "Katy Perry is the most potent pop star of the day." — The New York Times Katy Perry cemented her status as a best-selling superstar with the global success of her second studio album, Teenage Dream, which spawned a record five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Pop Songs chart. Hers was just the third album in the 18-year history of the chart to yield a quartet of No. 1s. She also holds the distinction of being only the ninth album in the 52-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart to produce at least four No. 1s. Now Perry returns with with a shimmering new album that includes her latest, No. 1 single, "Roar," alongside such soon-to-be classics as "Unconditionally," "Legendary Lovers," "Birthday," "Walking On Air," "This Is How We Do," "International Smile" and "Double Rainbow." "Katy's superpower, now more than ever, is minting songs so relatable that their insights quickly scale up to inspirational. 'I don't negotiate with insecurities,' she sings on 'Love Me,' a luminous ballad ... it's practically a revelation when she rides the bass-drenched beat on 'Dark Horse,' featuring Juicy J. And she even raps on the irresistibly bouncy 'This Is How We Do,' not to prove anything, but because her ode to partying till sunrise and 'sucking real bad at Mariah Carey-oke' seems to demand it. Katy Perry aims to please. But now she grasps that she's making the mainstream, not just swimming in it." — Entertainment Weekly, October 2013.
