Katy Perry just dropped a major bombshell, giving us some very important details regarding her beyond-anticipated sixth studio album. It’s titled ‘143,’ referring to the classic way of expressing ‘I love you.’ It’s set for a September 20 release date.
Eagle-eyed fans first caught elements of the LP in the Perry merch site—very much ahead of any official announcement. The hitmaker then took to social media to reveal more, exciting followers with a heartfelt statement about her creative process: “I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,” Perry shared.
It’ll all get underway with the shocking new single “Woman’s World”, which Perry premieres this Friday at 7pm. In terms of visuals, an exciting music video drops on July 12. Fans have been salivating for weeks over snippets previewed on TikTok, plus Perry’s reunion with in-demand producer Dr Luke.
For now, details on ‘143’ remain under wraps. Perry last released 2020’s ‘Smile’, which included upbeat singles “Daisies” and the title track. Her Vegas residency Play just wrapped after a hugely successful two-year run. Now, as Perry embarks on new musical and personal chapters alike, it seems things are finally in place for this iconic hitmaker to have her biggest era yet. Powered by her devoted fanbase who are awaiting every move, September 20 can’t come soon enough.
