Katy Perry Teams up with Snoop Dogg for “California Gurls”

Katy Perry’s new single “California Gurls” which features Snoop Dogg has just been released. It’s a fun, upbeat summer song which will surely become a hit.

The track is confirmed to be included in Katy's forthcoming third still untitled studio album. It is said to have been released in answer of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ New York song “Empire State of Mind”. If that’s true, I’m not sure that this song can become the new official California song.  

"It's so great that 'Empire State of Mind' is huge and that everyone has the New York song, but what the f**k? What about LA? What about California?" Katy Perry tells Rolling Stone. "It's been a minute since we had a California song and especially from a girl's perspective. We took the references of Prince, which is always a great reference, and some of the '90s, almost house music references."

Katy will perform “California Gurls” at the upcoming MuchMusic Video Awards.
