Prism (stylized as PRISM) is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry, released by Capitol Records on October 18, 2013. While the album was initially planned to be "darker" than her previous material, Prism ultimately became a prominently Swedish dance music-inspired record. The singer worked with several past collaborators, while enlisting new producers and guest vocals. Much of Prism revolves around the themes of living in the present, relationships, and self-empowerment.

Critical response to the album was generally mixed to positive: many of the critics highlighted its "maturity" and "vulnerability", while some journalists considered Prism a disappointment compared to her previous material, describing its songs as "formulaic" and "forgettable". It debuted atop of the US Billboard 200, with Perry's best opening week to date (286,000 copies sold). The album also peaked at number one in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Prism became Perry's fastest-selling album,[1] the second best-selling album in Australia in 2013,[2] and the second best-selling album released by a woman in the United States in 2013.[3] The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry reported that Prism was the sixth best-selling album in the world in 2013, the best-selling album in the world in 2013 released by a woman, and labeled Perry "A global phenomenon."[4]

The release of the album was preceded by the release of two singles. "Roar", was released on August 10, 2013 as the album's lead single. It became a commercial success and the singer's eighth non-consecutive single to top the US Billboard Hot 100. "Unconditionally" debuted on October 16, 2013 as the record's second single and was a moderate commercial success worldwide. In between the release of these two tracks were the releases of promotional singles "Dark Horse" on September 17 and "Walking on Air" on September 30, 2013. "Dark Horse" was released as the album's third single three months later on December 17, 2013 and became Perry's ninth single to top the US Billboard Hot 100.

Development

After Perry's initial devastation from English actor/comedian Russell Brand divorcing her in late December 2011, she felt influenced to make a "darker" album than her previous studio efforts. During a June 2012 interview with L'Uomo Vogue, the singer stated: "It was inevitable, after what I went through. If I had a time machine and could go back in time, I would. But I can't, so, you'll discover another part of me".[5] Perry claimed that she "hadn't let the light in" when the recording sessions for Prism started in November 2012. The creative process behind Prism turned it into a different album from what Perry expected: the singer felt inspired while watching a six-minute video by Eckhart Tolle, author of the self-help book The Power of Now. She stated: "When you lose something, all your foundations crumble– but that also leaves a big hole that's open for something great to come through."[6] Perry ultimately took a more positive direction with the record. The singer revealed to MTV News: "There's not really any darkness on the record. There's definitely some textures and colors but I think I was saying that when I saw going through a different phase, but I really let that light in."[7] Perry ultimately described Prism as "more organic, au naturale, vulnerable, and honest" than Teenage Dream, but as having "the same amount of fun" of the latter.[6]

Recording

While in Stockholm, Perry worked with Sia Furler (pictured) on new material for Prism.

While on the California Dreams Tour, Perry started recording "fragments" of ideas she had on her phone. She entered the studios in November 2012 along Greg Kurstin and Greg Wells, but felt that she was in a "dark place" and postponed them. Perry went through an "intensive" period of self-examination, including a trip to Africa, and the sessions began in March 2013 again. She reunited with Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee, and Cirkut in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California. From there, she headed to Stockholm, where she worked with Max Martin, StarGate, Benny Blanco, Juicy J, Jonatha Brooke, Sia Furler, Bloodshy, and Klas Åhlund. Perry then suggested that they should release the album in the fourth quarter of 2013.[6] In April 2013, Perry stated that the album was halfway complete and deemed it "schizophrenic", while adding: "When I tell the record company when I want to release the album, that's when the race starts. That's when I put pressure on myself". About the recording sessions and production, Perry said: "As a team we have certain strengths, with Max, it's melody choices, Luke is production and I'm topline and melody. Working with Bonnie McKee is like an emotional abuse session, Bonnie and I argue [like] we're in the ring fighting for the best lyric".[8] Two months later, McKee revealed that Perry and herself wrote four tracks together and added that they were more "grown up".[9] The following month, McKee also stated: "Well, you know, we work with [producers] Dr. Luke and Max Martin, they're like melodic geniuses..... [Luke] and [Max] come back [to us] with the track and we kind of find the story within the track".[10]

Perry told Billboard magazine that the album was not expected to be released until early 2014, stating: "In May [2013] I sat down with my managers and said, 'Guys, I think I'm going to have everything ready enough to come out this fourth quarter'. We weren't really thinking we'd be able to put anything out until February [2014], but you don't want to sit on something that's about to burst..... I didn't want to do 'Teenage Dream 2.0'. Teenage Dream was highly conceptual, super-pop art. Prism is more organic, au natural, vulnerable and honest, but still has the same amount of fun".[11]

Composition

The album opens with "Roar", a midtempo synth-driven power pop track.[12] Musically, it contains elements of arena rock and glam rock, while lyrically it is an empowerment anthem.[13] Comparisons were established between "Roar" and "Brave" by Sara Bareilles.[14][15][16] "Legendary Lovers", a bhangra-based song, deals with the ideas of karma and infinity.[17] "Birthday" was described by Perry as her own attempt at "writing something Mariah Carey would have put on her first record". Musically, it is a "fluffy" pop song.[18] "Walking on Air", the album's second promotional single, is an early 1990s-inspired deep house-Eurodance-disco song, inspired heavily by CeCe Peniston and Crystal Waters. It was produced by Klas Åhlund and Max Martin.[19][20][21] "Unconditionally", Perry's personal favorite song on the album and second official single, is a "soaring" power ballad with an "epic chorus".[22] Jason Lipshutz from Billboard noted that the song includes a "woodblock percussion" as well as "a dramatic bass line" and deemed it the album's "most mature offering". Furthermore, he called it "an ode to love that looks past all flaws" and stated that the song acts as a "compellingly grounded predicate" to the title track from Teenage Dream.[17] Perry herself described the song as a song about unconditional love that could come in all forms, including those from relationships, from parent-to-child, and from sibling-to-sibling.[23]

"Dark Horse" is a song with ample influences of trap,[24] grime, hip hop,[17][25] and "Southern rap-techno mashup" genres.[26] "This Is How We Do", produced by Max Martin and Klas Ahlund, was described as being the possible "song of summer" for 2014.[17] Shirley Halperin from The Hollywood Reporter described "This Is How We Do" as "a sunny 80s throwback", while Edna Gundersen from USA Today described it as a "buoyant pop blast with hip-hop underpinnings" and praised the song's recurring refrain ("It's no big deal!").[27] James Montgomery from MTV called the song a "cocksure, club-ready banger".[18] Nate Jones from Popdust compared its lyrics to "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", though felt its lyrics were less comedic.[20] With "Double Rainbow", produced by Greg Kustin and co-writer Sia Furler, Perry was allowed to "dump pent-up emotions" and "get things off her chest". The song was described as a "massive ballad".[27] Lipshutz deemed it as a "breathy love track" with a "powerful chorus that explodes upon impact" with lyrics that include "One man's trash is another man's treasure / so if it's up to me, I'm gonna keep you forever". He added that "Kurstin brings the pop sensibility he's flashed with artists like Kelly Clarkson and P!nk, while Sia's presence connects this sleek, shimmering pop track to [her David Guetta collaboration] 'Titanium'".[17] Elijah Sarkesian felt that "Some of Katy's finest vocals of the album are on this song".[22]

Perry described "Love Me" as a song "about loving yourself the way you want to be loved".[23] Gundersen called it "irresistibly catchy and energetic".[27] The song was produced by Bloodshy.[17] Sarkesian called it "an interesting mix – the lyrics are dark, but the music is very dance-centric. At the very least, it'll do well in clubs".[22] Montgomery stated that "Love Me" and "International Smile" both "seem destined for the dance floors".[18] The latter was inspired by Perry's friend Mia Moretti, and was compared to the songs on Perry's previous album. Lipshutz called it a "straightforward pop-rock offering" and described its guitar hook as "kicky", adding that the song also includes a "Melting Daft Punk-esque vocoder breakdown".[17] Halperin stated that in the song, Perry sings the "hooky" line: "Please fasten your seat belts and make sure your champagne glasses are empty".[28] Jones compared the song to "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", and particularly praised the saxophone solo at the song's end.[20]

Halperin described "This Moment" and "Ghost" as "mid-tempo ballads that are closest in DNA to Perry's previous smashes".[28] Perry stated that she was inspired to write "This Moment" after she heard the audio book of The Power of Now; the song's lyrics talk about "living in the present"; with Perry "add[ing] a romantic spin" to it. Gary Trust described "Ghost" as a "mesmerizing ballad",[29] while Edna Gundersen described it as "powerful, dark, and haunting".[27] Lipshutz felt that "Ghost" and "By the Grace of God" contain the album's "most somber moments".[17] While talking about each Prism track, Perry mentioned that "By the Grace of God" was the first song she wrote and recorded for the album back in November 2012 while she was in her "dark" phase.[30] Jody Rosen from Vulture described bonus track "Spiritual" as an inspirational song[31] while Natalie Palmer from Entertainmentwise called it a "deeply religious" track. Palmer described bonus track "It Takes Two" as having "really simple and straight forward lyrics" regarding how there are "two sides" to the end of relationships. Palmer noted that Perry sounded "angry and strong" in bonus track "Choose Your Battles" with military-like drums.[32]

Release and promotion

Main article: The Prismatic World Tour

On July 29, 2013, a golden truck driving in Los Angeles revealed the album's title as Prism and that it would be released on October 22, 2013.[33] On August 9, the truck was hit by a drunk driver in Pennsylvania, but none of the involved in the accident were injured.[34] On August 20, Pepsi revealed a partnership with Perry, in which fans were given the opportunity to unlock song titles, lyrics, and snippets from Prism by tweeting the hashtag #KATYNOW. Additionally, Pepsi provided previews of the songs "Dark Horse" and "Walking on Air", and fans could vote for which song they wanted to have an early release on iTunes.[35] The former song was declared the winner and was released onto iTunes on September 17.[36]

Three listening parties for Prism were hosted: on September 5, one was hosted in New York, open exclusively to an audience of 100 industry insiders and journalists, where twelve tracks were played.[17] A second Prism listening party took place the next day in Atlanta,[22] while a third took place September 12 in Los Angeles at the Hammer Museum. The release of two promotional singles via iTunes preceded the release of Prism: "Dark Horse", which features vocals from Juicy J, was released on September 17 and debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and inside the top ten at number ten on the New Zealand Singles Chart.[37] Perry first performed "Dark Horse" three days later at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.[38] "Walking on Air" was released as the second promotional single on September 30.[39]

The album became available for streaming online on October 17, 2013.[40] It was released in Ireland, Italy, Slovakia, and Slovenia the next day. It was released worldwide on October 22, 2013.[41] Its album cover, unveiled in a Jumbotron during Good Morning America on September 6, 2013, was shot by American photographer Ryan McGinley.[42] For the deluxe edition, 300,000 copies with an iridescent digipak package were printed, and came with the album's logo printed onto seed paper.[43]

Perry will begin The Prismatic World Tour on May 7, 2014. It will begin at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland and feature Icona Pop. The first leg of the tour will also feature performances in Scotland and England that month.[44][45] The second leg was announced on January 15, 2014, consisting of concerts in Canada and the United States. The leg will run from June to October 2014. Capital Cities, Kacey Musgraves, and duo Tegan and Sara will open for Perry in different markets.[46] The third leg of the tour will take place in Oceania from November to December 2014.[47]

Singles

"Roar" was serviced to mainstream radio stations on August 10, 2013 as the album's lead single, and its digital release followed two days later.[48] It received mixed-to-positive commentary from music critics, who commended its "easy" and "poppy" beat, while some were ambivalent towards its clichéd lyrics.[49][50] Commercially, it was a success, peaking atop the US Billboard Hot 100 and other single charts worldwide, including those of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.[51] The song was nominated for the Song of the Year and the Best Pop Solo Performance awards at the 56th Grammy Awards.[52][53]

"Unconditionally" was released as the album's second single on October 16, 2013.[54] It received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised it for being "soaring" and "effortless".[55] A lyric video for the song was released two days after its debut,[56] and its official music video was released on November 19, 2013.[57] To promote the single, Perry has performed on various occasions, including a geisha-themed performance of it on the American Music Awards of 2013, which attracted negative press, controversy and accusations of racism.[58][59] "Unconditionally" has peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has charted moderately worldwide, reaching the top 30 in the single charts of Canada and Germany.[51]

"Dark Horse" was released on December 17, 2013 as the album's third official single.[60][61] It had previously been released as the album's first promotional single exactly three months prior to its single release. The following week, the song leaped to number four due to topping the Hot Digital Songs, selling 243,000 copies. With "Dark Horse" topping the Hot Digital Songs chart, it became Perry's 10th digital number-one single.[62][63] The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 29, 2014, becoming Perry's 9th number one single in the United States.[64]

Upon release, Prism received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. According to Metacritic, the album received an average score of 61/100 based on 26 reviews. Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone gave the album three out of five stars, writing that "Perry and her longtime collaborators Dr. Luke and Max Martin often go for a darker, moodier intimacy à la high-end Swedish divas Robyn and Lykke Li. Perry has always done a great job of letting us know she's in on the joke of pop stardom. Sadly, she doesn't always bring that same sense of humor and self-awareness to the joke of pop-star introspection. The album's raft of ripe-lotus ballads is larded with Alanis-ian poesy she can't pull off". Nick Catucci from Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+ and stated that "Katy's superpower, now more than ever, is minting songs so relatable that their insights quickly scale up to inspirational..... Now she grasps that she's making the mainstream, not just swimming in it".

Helen Brown from The Daily Telegraph gave the album five out of five stars, stating Perry "sounds like a woman, and an artist, who's finally found herself" and praised the "vulnerability" of the album.[76] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic, Alexis Petridis from The Guardian, and Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine all also gave the album three out of five stars. Erlewine dubbed Prism "a tighter, cleaner record than its predecessors". Petridis called it "Katy Perry's most spiritual album to date". Mesfin Fekadu from ABC deemed the tracks "likable", but felt the album lacked "some of the fiery fierceness and excitement that dominated Teenage Dream".[77] James Reed from The Boston Globe felt Perry "always seemed like the pop star who knows precisely what she does best" and called the album "an unabashedly fun listen".[78]

Chris Bosman from Consequence of Sound gave the album three and a half out of five stars, calling Perry "a champion of choruses".[79] Greg Kot from Chicago Tribune gave the album 2 out of 4 stars, commenting "Though not exactly spiritual, Prism does come off as a more serious—if no less formulaic—album than its predecessor". Marah Eakin from The A.V. Club gave the album a C+, commenting "A lot of Prism is simply forgettable", though praised the tracks "Roar", "Birthday", and "This Is How We Do". Rob Harvilla from Spin gave the album a 5/10 rating, and felt some of the material was not "all that desirable".

Elysa Gardner from USA Today gave the album 3/4 rating and found the album to be "genuine and endearing".[80] Trent Wolbe from The Verge gave an overall 4/4 rating and praised Perry's ability to "wrapping hyper-specific emotions into a new format that everyone can relate to". He particularly praised the tracks "International Smile" and "Birthday", declaring the chorus of "Birthday" to be "fucking perfect".[81] Jody Rosen from Vulture was disappointed with every track on the album except for "Roar".[31] Natalie Palmer from Entertainmentwise praised the album's lyrics and its first several tracks, but felt the rest of the album was "very slow".[32]

Commercial performance

Prism made its official debut in Ireland, where it charted atop the charts. In the United States, the album opened at the top spot on the US Billboard 200, becoming her second consecutive number one album in the country. The album sold 286,000 copies in its first week. Prism acquired the largest first week sum by a female artist for 2013, surpassing Miley Cyrus' October 2013 album Bangerz (270,000 copies). However, this feat was surpassed by Beyoncé's self-titled fifth album, Beyoncé (617,213 digital copies), released in December 2013.[82][83] At the time of its release Prism had the fourth highest first week sales of the year for a pop record, trailing behind Daft Punk's May 2013 album Random Access Memories, which sold 339,000 copies and Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience which debuted to 968,000 copies and its follow-up The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 which debuted to just 350,000 copies. The first week sales also marks Perry's highest weekly sales, with her previous album Teenage Dream selling 192,000 copies in its first week in August 2010. Prism has the highest first week sales for a female pop artist since Madonna's twelfth studio album, MDNA.[84] Prism sold 92,000 copies during its second week of availability, falling to number two on the Billboard 200. This represented the smallest sales dip for a number one album in the United States since the August 2013 release of The Civil Wars.[85] Prism has spent 17 weeks so far in the top-ten on the chart.[86] As of February 2014, the album has sold a total of 1.1 million copies in the United States.[87]

In New Zealand, the album became Perry's second consecutive number one album, and was certified gold by Recorded Music NZ, selling over 7,500 copies in its first week sales.[88] Prism was certified platinum in Australia during its second week of release.[89] The album has sold a total of 179,000 copies in Australia alone.[90]

In Europe, the album was a moderate success. In Switzerland, the album debuted at two, just behind James Blunt's Moon Landing and was certified Gold shortly after.[91] In Austria, the album debuted at number three and was certified Gold in its first week, achieving Platinum certification a month later. In France, Prism debuted in the Top 10, spending a dozen weeks in the Top 40,[92] and has sold over 90,000 copies according to SNEP.[93] In The Netherlands, it debuted inside the top ten and spent seven weeks in the Top 40, later rebounding back into the Top 40 with the success of "Dark Horse".[94] In Denmark, the album became her highest charting album since One of the Boys, debuting at number four.[95]

The album had sold 2.9 million copies worldwide by the end of December 2013 according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.[96]
