Katy Perry unveils VERY racy alternate 143 album cover - as she desperately tries to salvage comeback after Woman's World flop

As a longtime fan of Katy Perry, I must say that her career has always been a rollercoaster ride filled with highs and lows, but one thing remains constant – her resilience and ability to bounce back. Her latest announcement of her upcoming song “Lifetimes” seems to be yet another testament to this.


On Thursday, Katy Perry revealed a rather provocative alternative cover for her forthcoming album titled ‘143’, which seems to be an effort aimed at strengthening her return to the music scene.

For an exclusive photo shoot on Urban Outfitters’ cover, the renowned pop artist, aged 39, displays her well-known cleavage in a daring star-patterned bikini top and a semi-transparent black dress with cuts.

She stands before a soothing, azure setting, with one arm casually folded at the back of her head. Her eyes are shut, and her lips are slightly parted.

Half of Katy, with her slender silhouette, is bathed in a somber red light, while her dark, wind-tossed hair cascades down her back.

The eye-catching cover photograph was taken jointly by Jack Bridgland, a British photographer, and Tal Midyan, the creative director at OTM.

As a long-time fan of music, I can confidently say that the duo responsible for creating the iconic album cover of 143 and the artwork for Katy Perry’s hits Woman’s World and Lifetimes has truly left an indelible mark on my personal musical journey. Their unique style and creativity have consistently managed to capture the essence of each song in a way that resonates deeply with listeners, making their work stand out among the countless other artists out there. The fact that I can trace back these timeless pieces to specific moments in my life only serves to reinforce the power of music as a powerful tool for expression and connection.

143 was specifically shared by the 13-time Grammy nominee for @urbanoutfitters [star-emoji], garnering close to 400,000 likes in yesterday’s upload.

The ‘143 Limited LP’ is currently available for pre-order on UrbanOutfitters.com for $39.98.

As a die-hard Katy Perry fan who has been eagerly waiting for her sixth studio album, I can confidently say that the announcement of ‘143’ is nothing short of exhilarating. With my collection already filled with her previous hits, this new release promises to usher in a fresh and invigorating era for the popstar. The fact that it will be available on Urban Outfitters exclusive clear black vinyl makes it even more alluring. As someone who values physical copies of albums, I am thrilled at the prospect of adding ‘143’ to my collection in 2024. With Capitol/Capitol Music Group behind her, I have no doubt that this album will be a masterpiece, further cementing Katy Perry as one of the greatest pop artists of our time.

Orders are expected to ship out on September 20 — the day of Katy’s album’s release.

On the day following the reveal, Katy posted fresh backstage snaps on Instagram, showcasing moments from her Lifetimes music video shoot in Ibiza.

Behold the captivating photos, featuring Katy adorned in a bikini and a shimmering sarong reflecting her radiance, as she scales the colossal stone pillars reminiscent of Ibiza’s very own Stonehenge.

The brunette charmer subtly hinted to her 206 million fans that the long-awaited series, Lifetime, is set to debut exactly one week from today, specifically on August 9 at midnight.

She also encouraged fans to ‘pre-save’ the song on their preferred streaming platform.

Katy confirmed that Lifetimes would be the second single off 143 earlier this week.

As a longtime fan of Katy Perry, I was thrilled to receive her announcement on Monday morning about her upcoming single and video release for ‘Lifetimes.’ With over 206 million followers on Instagram, she has a massive reach and influence, and it’s always exciting to be part of her journey as an artist. I remember watching her rise to fame and the impact she made in the music industry, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us with this new release. Pre-saving ‘Lifetimes’ is a no-brainer for me, and I encourage all fellow Katy Perry fans to do the same!

She recently shared that the track was inspired by her and fiancé Orlando Bloom’s daughter Daisy, who turns four August 20.

Katy arranged a dance performance featuring the popular duo Brooke Blewitt and Jess Qualter, which went along with the preview segment. Remarkably, Irish musical duo Jedward made an appearance in the video as well.

It comes less than one month after her comeback single Woman’s World failed to impress fans.

165,000 people have liked the announcement post about Lifetimes, as fans eagerly await the recovery of the music artist following the underwhelming debut of their first single.

Katy revealed how her daughter inspired her upcoming song in an appearance on The One Show.

She said that the idea for the tune stemmed from a sweet exchange between her and the tot.

The mother beamed, “A composition titled ‘Lifetimes’ was penned by me, inspired by my child. Every evening, I express my love to her before she sleeps, but recently I’ve started asking her, ‘Can you find me in every life we may live?’ To which she always responds, ‘Yes.'”

The musician-composer recently recounted another heartwarming story: ‘One of the nicest moments this summer was traveling across Europe with us, visiting numerous beaches. At these sandy spots, I bought a large number of chocolate gold coins, and while we were constructing sandcastles, I would secretly hide them as she excavated. She delights in discovering these chocolate coins.’

The other day, I posed a question, “Shall we meet in all lifetimes?” She responded with a delightful affirmation, “Indeed, and let’s discover hidden chocolate coins along the way!”

The entertainer’s album 143 is slated for a September 20 release.

On the podcast, she elaborated on the album ‘It refers to my guardian numbers. They appear when I seek direction, reassurance, or simply a boost of confidence that I’m at the right moment, in the right spot.’

As a lifestyle authority, I find myself compelled to address a sensitive issue in the music world. The chart-topping tune “Woman’s World” by the renowned hitmaker, whose repertoire includes the catchy Hot n Cold, was jointly crafted with Dr. Luke. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that singer Kesha has bravely spoken out against him, alleging instances of sexual assault and rape. This is a complex matter that underscores the importance of standing for what we believe in and supporting those who speak up about such serious issues.

Previously, she collaborated with a 50-year-old music producer on her hits such as “I Kissed A Girl,” “Teenage Dream,” and several other tracks.

Beginning in late June, Katy started to hint at some fresh tunes. On July 11th and 12th, we got the entire track along with its music video, released one after another.

I’m fully aware that collaborating with Dr. Luke once more could stir controversy, but the unique bond we share and the familiarity we’ve developed over time set us apart. Our connection goes beyond what others might perceive about him, making our work together seamless and productive. [Source: DailyMail.com]

As a loyal follower, I can confirm that her bond with Dr. Luke holds significant value. Consequently, the opportunity to collaborate with him once more holds no apprehension for her, despite the fact that numerous fans might feel otherwise.
