Co-written with Cathy Dennis who is an amazing pop song writer, writing songs like I Kissed a Girl, Toxic, Can't Get You Out Of My Head etc and also with Rivers Cuomo who is a lot more rock than he is pop. Rock Katy >> Pop Katy.

I hope the pshysical version will play with the design and the colors, something 3D would be cool.

Don't know what to think of the album cover yet. I'll wait for the HQ but I feel a little underwhelmed. That said, I'm rarely impressed by an album cover. So the physical CD case will have a different shape?  That sounds so cool.

Awful 
The TD era covers were so good and this era are so awful and tacky.  I was so obsessed with her covers before!

It's her two worst single covers, Roar and Wide Awake, in one.

Katy Perry Premieres Prism In New York: Here's Our Take!
Perry previewed 10 new Prism songs in NYC, and MTV News was there!
Katy Perry made sure everything was polished to perfection on Thursday night, as she previewed her upcoming Prism album to members of the New York media ... except, oddly enough, the songs themselves.
"Some of these are still rough mixes," she told the crowd. "Very rough mixes."
Of course, it's not like you could tell. Because from the venue (an artfully minimal event space in the Financial District) to the victuals (canapés galore), this was a very slick event, a trend that more than carried over to the music itself. Sure, Katy played just 10 of Prism's 13 tracks — the deluxe edition features 16, she informed us — but based on what we heard, it seems that her new album is destined to pick up where her last left off.
In fact, it doesn't seem as if she's strayed very far from her Teenage Dream formula, at least sonically (and really, why would she?) Like she told MTV News last month, there's really no darkness on Prism ... instead, the new songs are voluminous, playful, packed with hooks and brimming with studio shine.
"Birthday," which Perry described as her attempt at writing "something Mariah Carey would have put on her first record," is an upbeat jam that features her cooing "let me get you in your birthday suit," and ends with her coyly whispering "Happy birthday." The roller-skating jam "Walking On Air" — she actually wrote it after watching skaters in Central Park — pumps and struts on an actual Deep House groove, like something lifted from a Crystal Waters track, and "This Is How We Do" is a cocksure, club-ready banger.
"Dark Horse" — which improbably features Juicy J — grooves along on heavy bass, and "Legendary Lovers" simmers slowly before breaking out in an arabesque gallop. "International Smile" seems destined for the dance floors, as does "Love Me," a song she recorded with producer Bloodshy (one half of the duo responsible for Britney Spears' smash "Toxic.") In short, like Teenage Dream, the party starters are definitely not lacking on this album.
If there is a difference this time out, it's Perry's newfound maturity ... and I'm not talking boring or brooding. Instead, the majority of the music carries with it a worldly, almost refined quality. That's due in no small part to the fact that she recorded some of the album in Stockholm, with producers like Klas Ahlund — who worked closely with Katy's former tourmate, the sensational Swede Robyn — Greg Kurstin and Sia, with which she wrote the track "Double Rainbow." There are also a handful of slower, more complex songs on Prism, like "Unconditionally" (which Perry said was her favorite) and album closer "By The Grace Of God," a deeply personal ballad where Katy admits there were times when she thought about giving it all up.
Like first single "Roar," plenty of Prism deals with issues of empowerment, of overcoming adversity and finding strength within one's self. That makes sense, given everything Perry's been through over the past few years, but you've got to give her credit for not going too far, getting too dark. She knows her lane, and she's staying in it, though she's definitely pushing the boundaries of her confines, and running faster than ever before.
At least that's what I gathered from one listen ... perhaps these songs will change when they're actually mixed, though I kind of doubt it. After all, as she's proved time and time again, Katy is a pro, and she knows the formula for success. It's one she seems ready to replicate with Prism.

I read it in one of the gazillion new pages of this thread, someone posted a tweet that mentioned the case will be shaped slightly differently or something I think. Don't come for me if I'm wrong I'm absorbing so much information right now.
