Katy Perry isn’t letting Dr. Luke be the one that got away. Rolling Stone reports that she is reuniting with the producer — who collaborated with Max Martin on past hits including “Last Friday Night,” “California Gurls,” “I Kissed a Girl,” and yes, “The One That Got Away” — for her next project, which has been nicknamed KP6 by fans. “Katy knew exactly the album she wanted to make and put together the team to make it happen,” a Capitol Records source told Rolling Stone. “And that includes previous collaborators including Luke, Stargate, Max Martin, and Sarah Hudson, and some new heavy hitters such as Vaughn Oliver, Rocco Valdes, and Theron Thomas.” (Coincidentally, Oliver and Valdes produce for another K.P., Kim Petras.)
Perry, who left American Idol to focus on new music, instructed her Instagram followers to “get ready to pop off” with her first album rollout in more than four years, starting with the July 11 release of lead single “Woman’s World.” Earlier this week, she teased the track by dropping cover artwork of herself with metallic legs and lip-syncing to some Selling Sunset-esque lyrics: “Sexy, confident, so intelligent / She is heaven sent / So soft, so strong.” Hours after Perry posted the snippet, Kesha tweeted, “lol,” which some fans interpreted as a shady hint that Luke was involved. In 2014, Kesha accused Luke of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a party in 2005. He denied the allegations and countersued for defamation in a case that has since been settled. (During the course of the legal battle, Perry denied that Luke sexually assaulted her, a rumor Kesha and Lady Gaga claimed to have heard from an industry exec.) The full album credits aren’t out yet, but something tells us that KP6 won’t include a Kesha collab.
