Katy Perry To Get More "Honest" On Second Album

Katy Perry is planning a more "honest" second album.

The singer is going to begin recording and writing the follow-up to 'One Of The Boys' after the summer, once her promotion of her debut comes to an end.

Explaining how the new record will differ, Katy says: "I'm looking to make a record that's more honest and it's going to be different."

"I'm not trying to alienate my fans necessarily but One of the Boys was written from 17 to 23 and now I'm 24 so my perspective on life has changed."

"I'm not looking to make a record about: 'Hey, I got famous this year and you didn't... blah blah blah. This relates nothing to you'," Perry continued to BBC Newsbeat.

"It might be emotional but I don't think it's going to be sad emotional. It's just going to be completely packed with what you want to hear about what I think."

Katy will be working with producer Calvin Harris on one song for the album.
