Katy Perry In 'Love' With M83; Could He Write Her Next Album?
M83's Anthony Gonzalez has taken his widescreen electronic on the road with the likes of Kings of Leon and the Killers. He's recorded a double-disc answer to the Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and has even seen his work show up in the occasional Miley Cyrus song.
But after his set at the Coachella festival this past weekend (yes, there were artists besides "Part of Me" video we asked her to name her current favorite artists, and she definitely let it be known that M83 was at the top of her playlist.
"I've been listening to, well, I guess it would have to be M83's last record, this past record," she said, before singing a few bars of "City." "I think I'm going to see him at Coachella. Oh man, I'm so there. I love it so much."
Of course, she didn't stop there turns out, Perry's also fallen under the spell of Bjrk's Biophilia, too. So could the follow-up to Teenage Dream turn into a decidedly cool affair? Perhaps.
"The latest Bjrk record is incredible [too]," she said. "I was doing some fashion stuff two weeks ago and it was all Bjrk, and I was like, 'Oh my God, it's so electrifying.' I could never be her, because she's one of a kind. I'd never want to try and cop her style, but I'll do my own thing."
