Katy Perry announces UK dates

Katy Perry today announces 2 exclusive live shows in London and Manchester next February.

Ever since this summers hit single "I Kissed A Girl," Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Katy Perry has been wowing critics and fans alike with her big voice, sassy attitude, and feisty, confessional songs.

Perry's debut album, One of the Boys, is a sharp, witty pop-rock gem filled with candid tales of neurotic ex-boyfriends (new single "Hot N Cold," ), crazy road trips with friends ("Waking Up in Vegas"), and figuring out who you are along the way ("I Kissed A Girl," and "Fingerprints"). While the album displays Perry's feisty, girl-power swagger, it also reveals her more vulnerable side on such regretful ballads as "Lost," "I'm Still Breathing," and "Thinking of You."

"I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides," Perry says. "The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. Someone told me the other day that I'm a bit like Lucille Ball. They said, 'You look pretty put together on the outside, but inside there's just something a bit wrong.'"
