Katy Perryhas said that her new album Prism will not contain any darkness.

The singer took back previous claims that her [uuid=7cc6de85-b65a-42a4-8007-277ebd7d2ffc]new music would be "f****** dark[/uuid]", instead revealing that she reflected on her material to find a brighter tone.

Speaking to MTV News US, K-Pez explained: "The reason why I called this record Prism is because I actually finally let the light in and then I was able to create all these songs that were inspired by letting the light in and doing some self-reflection and just kind of working on myself.”



“There's not really any darkness on the record. There's definitely some textures and colours but I think I was saying that when I was going through a different phase, but I really let that light in.”

Perry - who has been dating on/off beau John Mayer for the past year - also said she was 'looking forward' to sharing her forthcoming LPwith fans.

She noted: “I felt very prismatic because of that.I feel like now I get to show these songs off and share these songs with the listeners and it's almost like I get to beam the colours that I've experienced out from me."



Her new single Roar is due for release in the UK on September 8 and is currently sitting pretty at No.2 in the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
