Katy Perry has a new source of inspiration for her upcoming music: motherhood. The singer, who welcomed her daughter Daisy Dove in 2020, revealed that being a mother has changed her perspective on her artistry.
‘I feel really happy and whole and loved, so that’s different for an artist because usually you’re writing songs out of pain,’ she said. ‘But I actually think that’s kind of the biggest lie that any artist has been sold, is that you have to stay in pain in order to be a great creator.’
Perry acknowledged that balancing motherhood with her career as an international pop star can be challenging, but she’s determined to find a balance.
‘The opportunity is there to find that balance. And the rewarding [part] is just the love, the unconditional love that everybody talks about,’ she said.
Perry’s last album, ‘Smile,’ was released in 2020, and there have been hints in the past few months that she has new music in the works. Last week, her fiancé Orlando Bloom let it slip that ‘she’s got new music coming’ while appearing on ‘Today with Hoda & Jenna.’
When asked about the new music, Perry told ‘Extra,’ ‘Just drip-feeding a little bit.’ In response to a direct question about making new music, she told the outlet, ‘We’ll see.’
Perry’s upcoming music is sure to be reflective of her new outlook on life. As she said, ‘I think the music’s going to be reflective of that love and joy.’ Fans of the singer can look forward to new music from Katy Perry soon.
