Katy Perry recently launched a new label, Metamorphosis Music, with Capitol Records and revealed the signing of pop singer Ferras, her first artist. “Ferras is a man with a message and a unique, lyrical way of communicating his perspective on life that makes you feel connected to every note when you listen,” Perry said in a statement. “[The EP’s] ‘Speak in Tongues’ is a song with raw emotional power that I wish I wrote. I believe he is going to be an important artist to watch unfold. I am so ecstatic the world gets to hear his music now both online and on tour with me.”
Katy executive produced the L.A.-based, Jordanian singer-songwriter’s latest release, a self-titled EP, which Metamorphosis released digitally Tuesday. Perry duets with Ferras on the EP’s “Legends Never Die,” and she has invited him to appear as the support artist on her upcoming North American tour dates.
