Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager.
Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.
After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Katy Perry’s troubled album roll-out has continued this week as the musician is now reportedly under investigation in Spain over potential environmental damage that took place on her ‘Lifetimes’ video shoot.Last week (August 8), Perry revealed the tracklist for her new album ‘143’ via the sun-kissed new single ‘Lifetimes’.
The new song is the second track to be shared from Perry’s forthcoming album, and arrives following last month’s lead single ‘Woman’s World’.The music video for ‘Women’s World’ was heavily criticised, with some fans suggesting was catering to the male gaze rather than challenging it, as seems to be the intention of the female empowerment-themed lyrics.Perry rebutted these accusations, saying the video was intended as satire. “We’re kind of just having fun, being a bit sarcastic with it.
It’s very slapstick and very on the nose,” she later said, defending the video.Now, Perry’s latest music video has attracted more controversy for the alleged unauthorised filming of ‘Lifetimes’ on Spain’s Balearic Islands.As per a translated statement from the regional government’s environmental department (via Consequence), an investigation is to take place after they claim the production company responsible for the music video didn’t request the necessary authorisation to film at the protected dunes at Ses Salines Natural Park.
