Track is from new Smile album available Aug 28th
Katy Perry has shared a new song, “What Makes A Woman,” which celebrates the indefinable quality – or combination of qualities – that women bring to the world. Produced by Johan Carlsson, and co-produced by Elvira Anderfjärd, the track is now available for download/streaming. Directed by frequent collaborator Tim Sekiguchi, Perry performs a moving, stripped-down version of “What Makes A Woman,” and is accompanied by her band, Kris Pooley on keys, Devon Eisenbarger on guitar, and India Carney on background vocals.
“What Makes A Woman” is from Perry’s new album, Smile, which will be released next Friday, August 28th, by Capitol Records. Fans who pre-order the album will instantly receive “What Makes A Woman” plus “Smile,” “Daisies,” the gold-certified “Never Really Over” and “Harleys In Hawaii.”
Perry spoke with the Los Angeles Times’ Amy Kaufman for an in-depth feature that appeared on the cover of last Sunday’s Calendar section. The story traces the “rebirth” of Perry, noting that she has emerged from depression and heartbreak to craft an album that is “still quintessentially Perry: buoyant, playful, neon pop.”
