She better not considering her fan base is 12-22 years old I would stop listening

[dreeam]

That's as true as Prism being a dark Era.

I agree with the bold part. But let's say Katy decides to create an indie/folk/rock album. Do you really think all the fans of those genres will look at Katy Perry the big pop star with colorful hair and take her serious? If she would succeed it would be thanks to her main core, her pop audience and not an indie or whatever genre she want's to sing.

Hm, I ask why not? Fans of those genres supported her while she was blue-haired for Teenage Dream. The album hasn't remained a successful catalog seller off of her pop audience, I can assure you. If one thing listeners enjoy with an established artist is to see them transform, and I think Katy out of all her contemporaries right now can succeed at that.

Plus I think we shouldn't read too much into what she is saying. Certainly, she won't go straight up indie-rock on us, but probably just strong influences with still her hint of pop. I think if you listen to her duet with John Mayer "Who You Love", she could succeed with an album with songs motivated by that kind of sound.

Wasn't Prism supposed to be a "dark" pop record? Dr Luke probably already has Bonnie Mckee locked in a basement writing tracks for Katy's 4th album. I can't see it happening.

[Benjamin]

All of you who're saying Capitol wouldn't let her are forgetting that Capitol wanted Teenage Dream to be One of The Boys 2 and were shocked by how pop it was when Katy played it to them - she's very much in control of the sound of her albums.

All she needs to do is not hire Dr Luke for her 4th album and even if he controlled the sound of her last 2 there's no way for him to control the sound of her 4th. It's not like she's signed to his record label.

[Kryzz]

Let's see what Capitol has to say about this.

[J03Y]

she's a pop artist, that will never happen.

[thisbird]

Great if she wants to do that, but why say "as I inch towards my thirties"? Seems like an odd reason for a sudden change of musical style.

[HASHTAGPOW]

about time she makes a religious album...

[Flare]

Why are people saying her label won't let her?
She's literally the biggest on her label. As long as PRISM smashes, she'll be able to do whatever she want without any label drama. She's getting to the point in her career (already) when she's entitled to do whatever she wants and it will smash the charts (just because her name is on it). Future pop legend tbh

I doubt that this will happen. But if it did, I guess I'd love it, too.

[Forevermore]

Didn't she originally say Prism was going to be a change in her sound though? We will see I guess.

[alfonso12]

Yeah sure, just like this is her dark era.

[Gotham Aurora]

I love her music now, but a growth would be amazing.
I don't want it to be acoustic stuff though. I could see her going in an alternative rock direction with music similar to Evanescence mixed with Alanis Morissette's "Flavors Of Entanglement" album .

[ImmaSlave4u]

Yes queen. Taking the road less traveled, slaying every genre flawlessly

[LilyAllen]

i would stan for her if she pumps out some more unique music for her 4th album. Im sick and tired of the generic pop thats shes been releasing since TD, its time for a change.
