It's Becky G saying "Oh nooooooo"

So it's a baby, yes? But really, what is that

It's one of Dr. Luke's artists so we assume it's Becky G. We'll see on the album booklet.

anyone else bothered by the lack of proper grammar and general English knowledge in these European reviews?
I mean I've been to Scandinavia a lot and literally everyone speaks PERFECT English and yet these reviews are so badly written

Most seem to be google translated, what do you expect?

Not the NRJ host being the only (?) from Norway though and not even posting a review, he's just famous for being on a TV show and now NRJ hosting

Did Dr. Luke produce "Unconditionally"?

[katyperryismylife]

In addition to those power players, Perry tapped such hitmaking collaborators as Stargate, Benny Blanco, Juicy J, Jonatha Brooke, Sia, Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson and Klas Ãhlund of the Teddybears. (Perry shares co-writing credit on all of the tracks.)

Yasssssss!

I didn't know 'It Takes Two' was produced by Stargate!!! This has made my day!!!!

But it's not always party time on "PRISM." Self-help and astrological references abound on tracks like "Spiritual" and "Legendary Lovers," reflecting Perry's recent immersion in Transcendental Meditation and mindfulness therapy.

Elsewhere, Perry pointedly confronts her turbulent recent history. The line "You sent a text/It's like the wind changed your mind" from "Ghost" references how Brand delivered the news he wanted a divorce. "By the Grace of God," meanwhile, begins with Perry lying on the floor of a bathroom, fighting suicidal thoughts. "That song is evident of how tough it really was at a certain point. I asked myself, 'Do I want to endure? Should I continue living?'" Perry says. "All the songs are real-life moments. I can only write autobiographically. I put all the evidence in the music. I tell my fans if they want to know the real truth about stuff, just listen to the songs."

When sessions for "PRISM" began anew in March, however, Perry had already gone through an intensive period of self-examination. "I took a trip to Africa that really put my priorities in perspective and started doing more work on myself," she says. Renewed, Perry reunited with her creative team from Teenage Dream, spending a month in Santa Barbara, Calif., with longtime producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, frequent songwriting partner Bonnie McKee and Henry Walter, aka the young studio mastermind Cirkut. From there she headed to Stockholm to work with Scandinavian pop maestro Max Martin for a few weeks to put "the icing on the cake." In addition to those power players, Perry tapped such hitmaking collaborators as Stargate, Benny Blanco, Juicy J, Jonatha Brooke, Sia, Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson and Klas Ãhlund of the Teddybears. (Perry shares co-writing credit on all of the tracks.)

As such, it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to discern that Perry's on-again, off-again romance with John Mayer is definitely on. That was evident from "Who You Love," the delicate, unadorned duet Perry and Mayer perform on Mayer's recent album, "Paradise Valley." On "PRISM," meanwhile, Mayer shares a co-write credit with Perry and Kurstin on "Spiritual" and plays guitar on the Stargate-produced "It Takes Two." Perry also claims Mayer provided the title for the album -- a reference to her wide spectrum of emotions.

"Spiritual" written by Katy Perry, John Mayer and Greg Kurstin
"It Takes Two" produced by Stargate, co-written with Emeli Sande, John plays guitar

It Takes Two was already pretty high up on my most anticipated list, but now that I know it's Stargate

[Giacobbe]

Where's the review that said Dr. Luke produced "Ghost"?

@KatySlaykaty Nice, but for slowies it's all about By The Grace of God for me. Big X Factor halo light moment in Unconditionally tho.

[♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚]

Will 'It Takes Two' also be mid-tempo?

[Benjamin]

It Takes Two has now plummeted in my expectations. Hopefully John's guitar playing can save the messy production, if it's anything like Firework.

[PatPopCulture]

I wonder if Takes Two the only Stargate produced track on Prism?

[Staryu]

[CallMyName]

They should have used that for the album.
