My Review on PRISM

Many of you may know that I am slightly obsessed with Katy Perry. She recently came out with a new album on October 22nd, and it has become a constant listen for me whenever I have a moment to spare. Dugan is quite done with Katy for the rest of his life, I'm sure.


Here is my review of the entire album and each song:

The album as a whole is a major change for Katy. She has become more grown up and mature in her style as most of her album revolves around her divorce to Russell and finding herself again in the world. I cry with some of the songs as I am sure others have, because of the simple connection that all have had in the past with heartbreak. Her power in the songs for loving yourself and picking up the pieces are amazing. Of course Katy has her typical fun provocative songs as well, because it wouldn't be the same without those. Here are my top 5 favs:

1. By the Grace of God: Amazing, emotional tribute to not letting go of life because of the loss of love.

2. Unconditional: The power of love, particularly for your family and friends and how it is unconditional.

3. Double Rainbow: The rarity of a double rainbow and finding someone for yourself that is one to hold on and keep . "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

4. Roar: A classic feel good song with the power to make you believe you can do anything!

5. Birthday: The BEST fun song on the album. Funniest line, "Let me get you in your birthday suit, it's time to bring out the big balloons." Ha ha ha! Go Katy.

Other good ones:

International Smile: I can just imagine her performance of this one while she is on tour. It's gonna be great!

Love Me: I have recently dedicated this one to my friend Lisa Hale. It is her power song right now. Love yourself the way you want another to love you!

Legendary Lovers, Dark Horse, Walking on Air, This Is How We Do, Ghost, This Moment, Spiritual, It Takes Two, and Choose Your Battles must not be forgotten either! They are all a fabulous listen and will all be wonderful to see on tour when she comes to Salt Lake.


Katy knows what she is doing, and sure knows how to connect to those of us feeling the same things as her! I give her 5 out of 5 stars (obviously) on the latest album PRISM.
