Katy Perry Debuts "Roar"

posted in: Music News • Pop

Pop fans, rejoice! The queen of all things confectionary and catchy has returned with another soon-to-be smash.

Hitting the net over the weekend, days ahead of its originally scheduled release, “Roar” is the first single to be released by Katy Perry in 2013. The song is the lead single off her forthcoming album Prism, and, as all new singles should, does a fantastic job of showcasing Perry’s new sound. It’s not quite mature, but it’s certainly more evolved than anything found on Teenage Dream. You can stream “Roar” for yourself, below.

If “Firework” was her anthem for underdogs, “Roar” is Katy Perry’s song for self-empowerment. It’s far from original, but it’s certainly catchy enough to get platinum at least once. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on Perry’s latest.
