As he tunes her American Idol Current Katy Perry is gearing up for her next pop era. And to hear it, the best is yet to come. Earlier this week while doing so Idol promo, Perry dropped a tantalizing tease of her upcoming single, which she, on the low-key, believes is some of her greatest work to date.
Perry said the untitled track – whose release date has yet to be revealed – is “one of my biggest songs yet to come out”. The track was co-written by 28-year-old Canadian-Congolese singer Lu Kala, who is best known stateside for her appearance on Latto's 2023 song “Lottery.”
“But it's coming out,” enthuses Perry, 39, advising Kala, “don't say anything!” as she covers her mouth in mock horror.
Kala, of course, couldn't contain her excitement, sharing a series of photos with Perry from her visit on Tuesday (April 23) with the caption, “To know me is to know I've been a Katy fan FOREVER !! You can't write Pop without @Katy Perry and as a pop girl, that means the WORLD TO ME!!!!🥹💕 brb, she's still crying.” The photos include Kala standing in arms with Perry, as well as a captioned slide showing Perry's teasing.
“I didn't expect any of this, wow😭 Thank you @Katy Perry for letting me be the smallest part of what you come to be. I can't wait for people to hear it🥹💕,” Kala captioned the video post. Kala, who was named a Vevo #DSCVR Artist to Watch for 2024 just dropped her new pained ballad “Nothing but Love.”
That same night, Perry further pulled back the curtain on her highly-anticipated follow-up to her 2020 album Smile, telling Access Hollywood that her as-yet-untitled LP is one of her happiest to date. “I haven't made a record yet from a place where I feel really happy and whole and full of love,” she said. “Sometimes artists say, 'Oh, that's boring, you want to make music from a harder place,' but it's actually very bright and happy, like pure joy and fun, playful and festive and a party.”
