Katy Perry has released a number of singles in recent months, but had not formally announced her next studio album. Through an interactive online game on Wednesday night, Perry unveiled the album title is Smile. Fans popped virtual balloons in the game to discover the title, along with the album artwork of Perry in a clown costume.
The song “Smile” will arrive tomorrow and on social media, Perry said, “I wrote the title track from the album when I was coming through one of the darkest periods of my life and had lost my smile. This whole album is my journey towards the light – with stories of resilience, hope, and love.” It is unknown yet which of Perry’s recent singles will make the cut for the Smile track list.
Smile is available to pre-order with a number of bundled merchandise packages on Perry’s website.
