Katy Perry to record an acoustic album...

The ‘Roar’ hitmaker, who recently rekindled her relationship with singer-songwriter John Mayer, says she wants to go in a ‘complete opposite way’ with her next album. She told Britain’s ELLE magazine: ‘There have always been two records I want to make; the acoustic record and the dance record. [‘One of the Boys’] was very pop-rock, more alternative influences, very No Doubt. But the last two [‘Teenage Dream’ and ‘Prism’] were so pop heavy. ‘Prism’ has a more electronic influence. The next record does have to be different. I think that I’m gonna really have to reroute. ‘I can’t wait to create more and evolve more and be a contributor. I would never ever want to be just a celebrity. It’s so gross. But if you’re contributing, you’re adding something to the world; you’re changing someone’s perspective. I’m disgusted by the fame stuff. I try to keep a distance from it.’...
