Katy Perry Hints Her Next Album Will be "Much Darker"

Katy Perry, fresh off behind-the-scenes documentary Piece of Me's release, has been dropping hints her next album is going to be less sunshine and more edge.

"I would love to just let it her next album be the 'black box' of who I am," she told Capital FM this week.

The California Gurls singer said last March that she was "about to get really fu**ing dark. I'll be shoe gazing."

Fans probably won't find this particularly shocking. The singer did suffer the end of her one-year marriage to Russell Brand last year, an event that left her emotionally reeling.

"I'm kind of one of those people who is a bit emotion-less on the outside, especially in public, but what I do is I store it," she said. "I file it, so when I need to write I can just push that button."
