Katy Perry is staying busy! In fact, she is quietly gearing up for her next album.

On a recent MTV Unplugged interview, Perry explained: "From the few songs that I've written so far, they are very honest, if not more honest than the last ones. But they are a little bit more mature...I know how to handle boys now." She adds, "I'm hoping it's going to be a bit more pop. Going on the road, that's what I saw that I lacked in concert, was a little bit more movement."

The singer says of her recording, "It was the last real look I wanted to give on the record and show off some of the songs at their most simple, kind of at their most stripped down, at the skeleton, at the core of what some of them were written or how they were written."

Showing off her beautiful assets in a slinky red number at the Samsung Behold II launch event in Hollywood, that dress is definitely evoking the whole "stripped down" feeling Katy's talking about.

We sooo luv our Katy! Can't wait for the new album!
