This (mostly in regards to "TIHWD").. It was Katy's decision to change up her sound. She goes with what she's feeling at the moment. She was pretty angsty back then. Perhaps she'll do her acoustic record one day, but I don't see her going all pop-rock again any time soon. After all, when OOTB came out, pop/rock and pop/r&b were the predominant sounds on pop radio. "I KIssed A Girl" is just a variation on Pink's "Cuz I Can." People change. Sounds change. She's a popular artist, and far too established to be looking back to see what worked last time around.
What's interesting to me is that the more adventurous material on
Prism is the least introspective (although I do really love "Spiritual" as is, and "By The Grace of God," despite the production). But anyway, that's why I think she should keep taking risks and doing songs like "Dark Horse," "Walking On Air," and "Legendary Lovers."
