I didn't like Wide Awake at first when I heard it on the album, but the radio made me grow fond of it, ironically.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm ready for some new material-- didn't care for the re-release of TD ... except for Part of me. So over wide awake lol

Aw, I was hoping she'd keep it dark.

[Zahara]

That looks more like a wig.

But it's very Autumny. I like it.

[~StarCatcher~]

I think it's a wig.

The article says she was turned into Lady Gaga last issu and this issu she's like Florence, so maybe it's only a wig for that reason.
I hope so it doesn't look good at all

[koumori]

^ Well, it was more of a sarcastic comment how in her last photoshoot for Vogue they made her look like Lady GaGa, and now in this one she looks like Florence Welch.

It's definitely a wig, her hair isn't that long.

[~StarCatcher~]

okay I thought so

Now I am reliefed =) thx

[rookies]

Hummingbird Heartbeat is the next single, but will only be released in Australia. I wonder if it does well there, will she release it also as a US Single. Too many singles from this album, lol.

Also I cried during her new flim pert of me in 3d )':

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I mean I did enjoy Part of me but like...come on girl, you're doing too much with this album. smh

[TITANIC]

I like her so much but seriously she should stop releasing singles from TD. we need new material. I dont mind waiting for few more years rather than having more singles from TD.

btw some radio stations here already start playing Hummingbird Heartbeat

[NintendoHTF1242]

Watch, she's gonna release "The Singles Collection" and it's gonna be the Teenage Dream album + some songs from One of the Boys

3rd album is on its halfway

According to her, she is once again collaborating with many of the producers responsible for the material on Teenage Dream, including Max Martin, Greg Wells, Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee and Sia!
She explains:
“When I put myself on a timeline, when I tell the record company when I want to release the album, that’s when the race starts. That’s when I put pressure on myself. allows me to vomit words. Not that I can’t find that with other but he just lets me. Max and Luke push me the most. As a team we have certain strengths. With Max, it’s melody choices, Luke is production and I’m topline and melody. Working with Bonnie McKee is like an emotional abuse session. Bonnie and I argue (like) we’re in the ring fighting for the best lyric. We presented ‘Teenage Dream’ three times.”

At a recent session, Perry went in with a melody and verse to work with Greg Kurstin and McKee. “She came in from a yoga class and said, 'I want to write a song called 'Double Rainbow.'' So we have a song called ‘Double Rainbow.’”

Perry spent an hour taking questions from ASCAP executive VP, membership, Randy Grimmett, who had the singer-songwriter detail her career from her beginnings as a 13-year-old learning to play guitar to working in the Christian music world and then the ups and downs of her career prior to her chart success and arena tours.

She began many of her anecdotes with “want to hear something really depressing” – or words to that effect – to draw a complete picture of what she went through as struggling artist. She detailed negative and positive experiences working with Glen Ballard and the Matrix trio , Island Def Jam and Capitol, and regularly reinforced the idea that she loves to collaborate with other writers.

A few other tidbits Perry said:

On the music and artists who have had the greatest influence on her, Perry rattled off Queen’s “Killer Queen,” the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds,” Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill,” No Doubt, Patty Griffin and Jonatha Brooke.

Dave Stewart, with whom she wrote “I’m Still Breathing,” was the first collaborator to give her the freedom to write whatever she wanted.

Once she goes on tour, she stops writing. “I don’t get into a studio when I’m touring.”

Her favorites that she saw at Coachella last weekend? Purity Ring, M83 and Sia.

Career highlight? “Firework,” she said, is “the most important song I’ve written.” Performing it with an autistic girl accompanying her on piano and vocal harmony at a fundraiser was “the most important performance of my career so far.”

She does not like the use of aliases by songwriters and producers. “I wouldn’t meet Dr. Luke for six months because I knew he wasn’t really a doctor. What’s wrong with your first and last name? Why do they have to be from outer space?”

omg @ “I wouldn’t meet Dr. Luke for six months because I knew he wasn’t really a doctor. What’s wrong with your first and last name? Why do they have to be from outer space?” loooooooooooooooooooooool!

So we have a new song confirmed to be called Double Rainbow? I'm actually really looking forward to this new release.

So exciting that she's halfway thru working on her next album!
