Katy Perry: ‘I Don’t Try to be Scandalous!’
Posted by Adam
POPSTREL Katy Perry insists she never meant for her songs to be scandalous.
The Waking up in Vegas hitmaker — who’s currently dating British comedian Russell Brand – says she tries to write tracks which express how she sees the world.
“I think the I Kissed A Girls and the Ur So Gays were never, ‘Oh, let’s see how I can stir up a pot of scandalous’,” Perry told the Associated Press. “It was actually just me telling my story and that is how I see the world, you know, and that’s the kind of funny, messed-up way I live my life, I guess.
“With a dark undertone, a sarcastic dark undertone, just everything is kind of that way for me and so I’m sure that’ll be a thread in my next record.
“I guess in my personal life and in interviews and when I sit down to talk about things, sometimes I don’t give as much detail as I used to but I think I am saving it for the songs – and the songs I’m just gushing.
“From the few songs that I’ve written so far, they are very honest, if not more honest, than the last ones. But they are a little bit more mature.”
