Pop superstar Katy Perry on Monday announced a new album and tour, promising a more mature and reflective side after taking time off.
The 32-year-old singer said that “Witness,” her first album since 2013’s mega-hit “Prism,” would come out on June 9.
She also announced an extensive tour, for now just of North America, to begin on Sept. 7 in Columbus, Ohio.
Perry, who will close the North American tour on Feb. 5 in Vancouver, separately will perform next month at the Glastonbury festival in England.
The singer announced the album news on Twitter where she has more followers than anyone else at more than 98 million.
Perry has already released two tracks from “Witness.” The first, “Chained to the Rhythm,” has echoes of the disco era along with a reggae off-beat and an appearance by Bob Marley’s grandson Skip Marley.
Perry’s follow-up track, “Bon Appetit,” also has a dance feel but heads in a trap direction with a collaboration by Atlanta hip-hop trio Migos.
In an interview published last week, Perry — born as Katheryn Hudson to a conservative Christian family in California — said the album reflected her life in her 30s after closing out her 20s.
Perry also said that one song on the album would explore her feelings after Hillary Clinton’s ill-fated presidential campaign, of which she was one of the most prominent celebrity backers.
The Clinton campaign was one of the few public appearances in 2016 for Perry, who said she needed time off after her 151-date tour for “Prism.”
