Katy Perry 'Prism': Hear 90-Second Snippets Of Each Song Off New Album

iTunes has just released the preview snippets of all of the songs from Katy Perry's new album Prism. Check out a clip-by-clip breakdown below.

Roar

We've already covered this Sara Bareilles soundalike (but that's okay). You've likely already heard the ubiquitous lead single and formed your own opinion.

Legendary Lovers

This song goes from Ke$ha to Florence Welch to Britney Spears in under 90 seconds. The mind boggles.

Birthday

This song will simultaneously remind you of "Super Bass" and "California Gurls." This is a good thing.

Walking On Air

Perry swings for the fences with a Kaskadian big-room house track. There is no joy in Mudville, however. The Mighty Katy strikes out.

Unconditionally

This song could have featured on the soundtrack to Disney's Tarzan. That's probably a compliment.

Dark Horse

Not a song about gritty comic books. This is Katy Perry's (several months late) foray into trap music with an assist by Juicy J.

This Is How We Do

Sooooo much bounciness. This sounds like the guy from The 1975 on whippets. Will either become your house-cleaning jam or the most loathed song in your universe.

International Smile

Boilerplate Katy. May have actually been pieced together from other songs. Easily forgettable. Expect it to move 75 million units.

Ghost

This is what "dark" KP sounds like.

Love Me

Would earn "Best New Music" nod from Pitchfork, if this track was released by someone with a bit more indie cred than Perry.

This Moment

Will remind you of listening to "Roar" earlier in the album while channeling Celine Dion.

Double Rainbow

More darkness from Katy. Sadly doesn't sample viral video. The CHVRCHES sound in the chorus should be interesting.

By The Grace Of God

Skip.

Spiritual

Depeche Mode drums, Enigma vocals, Cool Vibes compilation feel throughout. Will likely get stuck in my rotation.

It Takes Two

Not a Rob Base cover. Dissapointment may have colored my negative view of this song.

Choose Your Battles

Lots of interesting textures to this song. But the lyrics seem like they might fall a bit flat.

Prism drops October 24.
