Pop icon Katy Perry has announced the release of her highly anticipated new album, ‘143’, scheduled to drop on September 20. The 39-year-old superstar shared the news on social media, sparking excitement among her fans worldwide.
The album’s intriguing title, ‘143’, is a nostalgic nod to the code for “I love you” used in pager messages during the 1990s. In a statement, Katy explained her inspiration behind the album: “I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message.”
Katy Perry’s upcoming album will be her first since 2020’s ‘Smile’. Despite its commercial performance not matching her previous records, ‘Smile’ still resonated with many of her dedicated fans. With ‘143’, Katy aims to return to her dance-pop roots, promising an album filled with joy and celebration.
The album’s lead single, ‘Woman’s World’, is set to premiere this Thursday. Perry has been building anticipation by teasing clips from the music video, which she describes as a “risqué piece”. In the video, she takes on the daring role of a bikini-clad scaffolder, complete with scenes of her downing whiskey.
Katy Perry’s announcement has already generated a buzz on social media, with fans eagerly awaiting the full release. The bold themes and nostalgic references in ‘143’ suggest it could be a significant moment in her career, potentially recapturing the widespread acclaim of her earlier works.
As the release date approaches, fans can look forward to more teasers and updates from Perry, who continues to push creative boundaries and deliver memorable performances. ‘143’ is set to be a defining album of 2024, showcasing Katy Perry’s enduring talent and her ability to evolve with the times while staying true to her artistic vision.
