Y’all know I stan for Katy Perry (well, insofar as that I really like her – that’s sort of the beginning and end of my stanning), so I was excited to see the artwork for her upcoming album, Prism, which is out next month. She first unveiled it on Good Morning America, apparently, but I was actually grocery shopping while that was happening (hey, I gotta get out while I can) so I missed it. Luckily, she put it on Twitter not long after. Ta-da!
If you missed it on the JUMBOTRON on @GMA, here it is – my #PRISM album cover, shot by the wonderful Ryan McGinley! pic.twitter.com/cqHpmkaGXv

I… like it. It’s very her, isn’t it? Dreamy, sorta hazy and summery and pop-y, etc. I mean, it also has that quality of towing the line between ~artsy~ and whimsical and damn cheap, but it was shot by Ryan McGinley, so I suppose that’s okay. Can’t wait for this album, either way!
It’s better than Miley Cyrus Bangerz cover but still underwhelming. She looks really pretty on it though. But the flowers left and right look cheap and that stupid instagram-filter-look is…well, stupid.
And the triangle-shaped prism-writign was much cooler than this, it looked so totally 80s-metal-band-logo-like.
I agree, whatever happened to that cool prism??
I like it. And I like the Miami Vice-ish cover of Miley’s album too.
