American singer and songwriter Katy Perry is in Tokyo to promote her latest album "Prisms."
Her fourth studio offering comes after her very public marriage and divorce from comedian, actor and notorious lothario Russell Brand.
The 9-time Grammy nominee poured her heart out about the personal journey embarked upon to craft the record.
"I needed to do a lot of self-reflection, because I went through a difficult time in my life and so I needed to go inside and do a lot of work and therapy and mending. And so I did. I started the record in November 2012, but most of the songs and, like you said, I thought I was going to make a darker, more acoustic, kind of moodier record. But then in the spring, I went through the transition and I did a cleanse for like three months, a mind and body and soul type of cleanse and it made my life so much better. It gave me more perspective and helped me live very consciously."
The record marks a change in Perry's sound, from fun and frothy to powerful anthems.
The star says that music is not the only thing that is on her mind. Speaking about her future, Perry seems on the look out for fresher challenges.
"Yes, I'd like to have, I'd like to start a small fashion line, but very small, I think, for now. And I would like to be a mom one day, that's a challenge, I'm sure. And I'd like to make an acoustic record. That would be a challenge."
Ever the chameleon, the pastor's daughter started out in country and gospel before embracing electro pop and gaining her break through with her breakthrough hit 2007's "I Kissed a Girl".
Next up, Perry will be performing at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Amsterdam on Sunday with "Anchorman" star Will Ferrell.
Perry's world-wide "Prism" tour is set to sweep the globe starting from May 2014.
