Ahead of the arrival of Katy Perry’s new single “Woman’s World” tomorrow, the singer has revealed the title and launch date for her subsequent album.
143 — named after the Nineties pager code for “I love you” — is due out September 20 by way of Capitol Records. The album marks Perry’s first studio album since her 2020 LP Smile.
“I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,” Perry stated of the album in a press release.
Capitol Records added in a press release that the album is “jam-packed with the kind of empowering and provocative pop anthems fans have come to love, 143 is an album with a lot of heart – and a lot of BPM.”
143 is accessible to preorder now at Perry’s web site in quite a lot of codecs, together with unique coloured vinyl, a cassette model, and extra. On Thursday, Perry will share each the track and video for “Woman’s World,” the place she cosplays as a risqué Rosie the Riveter.
As Rolling Stone previously reported, 143 reconnects Perry with some producers she’s employed up to now — like Stargate (“Firework”), Max Martin and Dr. Luke (the manufacturing duo behind “I Kissed a Girl,” “Teenage Dream,” “California Gurls,” and “E.T.”) — in addition to some new collaborators.
“Katy knew exactly the album she wanted to make and put together the team to make it happen,” a Capitol Records supply informed Rolling Stone. “And that includes previous collaborators including Luke, Stargate, Max Martin, and Sarah Hudson, and some new heavy hitters such as Vaughn Oliver, Rocco Valdes, and Theron Thomas.”
