Katy Perry To Release New Album 'Teenage Dream' In August Add to My Fav Bands List

Katy Perry has revealed that her second album will be entitled ‘Teenage Dream’.

The follow-up to 2008’s ‘One For The Boys’ will be released on August 30.

The album will be preceded by the single ‘California Gurls’, which features Snoop Dogg, on June 20.

In a statement, Perry said she had been inspired to write the track after watching a friend listen to Jay-Z’s ‘Empire State Of Mind’.

“Everybody was holding their drinks in the air and dancing, and I thought, ‘We’re not in New York, we’re in Los Angeles,” she said.

“What about California? What about all the homies, the gin and juice, the swaying palm trees, the sun-kissed skin 24-7.

“I decided that we needed to make a response. I want people to want to book a ticket to California the first time they hear it!”

‘California Gurls' is currently available on the singer’s official website.
