Celebrated pop singer, Katy Perry, has previewed some songs from her upcoming album, telling her fans to look out for “a lot of music” in the future.
The Roar hitmaker shared the title and cover art of the new album 143 on her timeline early this week. Currently available for pre-order, the album will be released on September 20 this year.
Details of the new project come after the release of her lead single on the album Woman’s World, which announced her return to the music business.
Songs on the new compilation include I’m His, He’s Mine, Gimme Gimme (featuring) 21 Savage, and another titled Nirvana. Sources close to the singer say the album will be released during her gig at the “Rock In Rio” Festival in Brazil, later in the year.
“I will be in Brazil playing Rock in Rio and I just figured that all of my Brazilian fans are going to be singing at the top of their lungs, the album will come out that day and I will be playing that night…I’m going to put out a lot of music before then because I think that’s what you want,” Katy said.
