“Katy asked me to let you know that her new album will be released on August 14th,” Alexa says in the video.
The announcement comes shortly after Perry confirmed on a Facebook livestreamĀ that her follow up to 2017’s ‘Witness’ would drop at some point this year.
“In California… thereās going to be a lot of rules and ways of doing things ā weāre not just going to go back to normal,” she said.
“Iām going to put out a record this year, quarantined or not, because we aināt gonna let no coronavirus stop us from dancing, even if weāre dancing in our homes.”
The lead single from the album, ‘Daisies’, is set for release this Friday.
Perry released a string of standalone singles over the last year. ‘Never Really Over,’ produced by Zedd, was originally released in May 2019. ‘Small Talk’ and ‘Harleys In Hawaii’ followed in August and October 2019 respectively. Most recently, Perry released ‘Never Worn White’ in March 2020. It is not yet known whether those tracks have made the final tracklist for the album.
