Prism

Released in October 2013 by Capitol Records, Prism is the third studio album by American pop star Katy Perry. Created after the extremely successful predecessor "Teenage Dream", the album brings a more mature and personal approach, imbued with themes of self-confidence, healing and maturity, while at the same time retaining the recognizable pop shine and infectious energy that launched her to the very top of the world music charts.

Musically, "Prism" skillfully combines modern dance-pop, synth-pop and club rhythms with more intimate, acoustic ballads. The first half of the album bursts with energy and a dynamic pop sound, which is demonstrated by the leading global singles: the motivational anthem "Roar", the enticing trap-pop hit "Dark Horse" and the danceable "Unconditionally". The second half of the release reveals a more introspective side of the author through emotional tracks like "By the Grace of God". Leading hitmakers such as Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Klaas Åhlund.

The album "Prism" was a huge commercial success and sold millions of copies all over the world. With its diverse subject matter, superb production and catchy choruses, this album is an essential part of any serious 2010s modern pop collection.
