Katy Perry's Going Back To Her 'Roots' On Next Album
Quote:
"It feels like the record that never ends!" she told MTV News recently in Los Angeles. "Obviously I'm going to close this chapter soon. ... I am ready to make a new record and maybe try another approach artistically, and I will close the book on Teenage Dream soon, but [Complete Confection] just felt really organic. I'm doing it mostly for the hard-core fans, because they always love all the extras. And also, I couldn't put more than 12 songs on the original Teenage Dream, and I had written more songs ... and I finally wanted to incorporate them."
Perry said that, in addition to those two Dream holdovers — "Part of Me" and a track called "Just Enough" — the Confection collection will also feature a brand-new song ... one that she just put the finishing touches on in a late-night recording session.
"I just wrote [it] with a bunch of my co-writers, in two days," she laughed. "It was nuts, I recorded it at 3 a.m. and I was slapping myself in the face to stay awake, singing the chorus ... so tired! But it's nice to have all those goodies [on the reissue.]"
And while she wouldn't give away too many details about the proper follow-up to Dream, Perry did say that she can't wait to focus on writing new material. And she's got no shortage of subject matter, either.
"It's a very therapeutic thing for me, songwriting. I'm kind of one of those people who is a bit emotion-less on the outside, especially in public, but what I do is I store it, and I file it, so when I need to write I can just push that button," she explained. "I'm going to stick my finger out there and test the waters of what the world wants, or what I need to say ... but, I'm all ears. If people want me to do another pop record, I can do another pop record ... I definitely have a lot to say right now, and in general always have. If you want an opinion, I've got one, unfortunately."
Of course, whenever she gets around to making the new album, it may be a big-time departure from the futuristic, candy-colored pop confections she spun on Dream. The next time out, she may very well be looking backward, as opposed to forward.
"I just think that it's time for me in some ways to show where I came from," she said. "I've always just been me and my guitar; and I'm not saying I'm going to make that record, but I do want to get back to my roots. I've been changing my hair color too much!"

I think Katy is smart. She knows not to veer too far away from what made people love her in the first place. I'm expecting an album from her with a mix of commercial appeal that TD had and finally getting that critical acclaim.

 I doubt it will be some drastic change. I have faith in her

That would be so depressing. My December is a mess.

lol.
Why would she be recording songs when she and her voice are tired? She needs all the vocal support that she can get.

Wtf? Relax. She even said "If people want me to make a pop record, I'll make a pop record".
She's just talking about possible musical routes she's going to take, but it's obviously going to be a pop record at the end of the day.

Pressed. A "mess" that went platinum off one single..
I'd rather Katy go that route than give us more bikini boppin' gummy bear whipped cream wars.. at least there's some depth to My December. I like Katy, don't get me wrong, and TD is a great album, but it's mostly throwaway material. Catchy, clever, but disposable. I'd like to see a more artistic side of her.
