Katy Perry announced on Monday the release of a new album and tour of North America, promising a more mature and thoughtful side after having spent some time off the stage.
The 32-year-old singer said that "Witness", her first album since the big hit that meant "Prism", will be released on June 9.
He also announced an extensive tour that will now cover only North America and will begin on September 7 in Columbus, Ohio, USA, and conclude on February 5 in Vancouver, Canada.
Perry will perform next month at the Glastonbury festival in England.
The singer offered details on this album through her Twitter account, where she has more followers than any other user: 98 million.
Perry has already released two songs from his album "Witness". The first, "Chained to the Rythm", reminiscent of the disco period and touches of an unconventional reggae and features the appearance of Bob Marley's grandson Skip Marley.
The other track, "Bon Appetit", also has a "dance" touch but then has an unexpected twist. It counts on the collaboration of the trio hip hop Migos, of Atlanta.
"Bon Appetit" also surprises by its lyrics, in which Perry and Migos talk about reaching orgasm. Perry, much loved by the young female audience, achieved fame with songs about first sexual experiences like "Teenage Dream" and "I Kissed a Girl".
In an interview published last week, Perry - who was born as Katheryn Hudson in a conservative and Christian family in California - said the album reflected his life in his 30s after closing the 20s.
"I accepted, I gave in. I healed myself of certain wounds that were still open in my family, in my emotional relationships," he told Entertainment Weekly.
"I created Katy Perry and she was a lot of fun, and I'm still Katy Perry, and I love her, but deep down I'm Katheryn Hudson, and I think I'm realizing it as I assume who I really am."
Katy Perry also told the magazine that a song on her new album would explore her feelings following the failure of Hillary Clinton's campaign after being one of the most prominent celebrities who supported the Democrat.
His appearance in one of Clinton's campaign events was one of his few public appearances in 2016, as he said he needed to take some time off after the 151 days of the Prism album.
