Katy Perry ‘Roars’ through the jungle…literally! The highly anticipated official music video has premiered; watch it now. Elephants, tigers, monkeys and a pop star transformed into the ruler of her new terrain.
Fans of Katy Perry’s previous videos — notably the evocative ‘Wide Awake’ — will not be disappointed. From start to finish the video, which was directed by Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi, evokes the Technicolor adventures of Hollywood’s golden era. Crash landing in the middle of the wilderness, Katie Perry takes on the iconic role of Jane, the helpmate of Tarzan of the Apes. She embodies the role with ferocity as she swings on vines. Tarzan himself does not make an appearance, and there is narry a John Mayer or his lookalike, at least not in this one.
Ditching her drab travel clothes, this Jane rules this kingdom wearing her leopard skin bikini tops. But perhaps this is not Jane at all but rather another of those screen icons, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Yes, perhaps so. She even roars back at the tiger.
Whomever she has morphed into, Katie Perry Tweeted her enthusiasm to her 42+ million followers:
“It’s HERE! Filmed in Junglescope – my brand new music video…#ROARVIDEO”
And there is much to “Roar” about. It is the lead single of Katy Perry’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, ‘Prism” which she co-wrote with a small army of hitmakers; Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Bonnie McKee, and Henry “Cirkut” Walter. It just reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, ending Robin Thicke’s summer-long rule at the top with “Blurred Lines.”
Not bad for a single that leaked before its official release and went on to eclipse Lady Gaga’s ‘Applause’ on iTunes in the first week of sales. Not bad at all for the lead single of an album announced with a gold-plated semi-truck.
But don’t keep reading. So much better to dive right into the Junglescope. Check out the full video, as it premiered on VEVO, below.
