Pop superstar Katy Perry reveals an unexpected collaborator in her music-making process: her stepson Flynn, 13.
According to People, Perry shared in a recent interview with Audacy that Orlando Bloom's teenage son has been instrumental in providing feedback on her new album, 143. The singer praised Flynn's musical ear and his ability to offer valuable input during her creative process.
Perry, who shares a 4-year-old daughter named Daisy Dove with Bloom, explained that while she doesn't typically host listening parties for her family, Flynn has become a trusted source of opinion. The 39-year-old artist highlighted Flynn's enthusiasm for her 2019 hit "Never Really Over" and his appreciation for a new track titled "All the Love" from her upcoming album.
Perry expressed her admiration for Flynn's musical sensibilities, noting that he stands out among her family members when it comes to providing feedback on her work.
The "Woman's World" singer revealed that Flynn has never advised her to completely discard a song, suggesting that his critiques are both constructive and encouraging. This dynamic between Perry and her stepson showcases a unique blend of family and professional life.
Perry's willingness to seek input from Flynn demonstrates her openness to different perspectives in her creative process. It also highlights the close relationship she has developed with her partner's son, bridging the gap between their blended family and her professional life.
While Flynn has become a trusted musical confidant, Perry humorously shared that the rest of her family maintains a more typical relationship with her music.
The singer joked about her family's casual attitude towards her work, saying:
They've had enough of me. I mean, they're fine, but like...my family, they're telling me to move or take the trash out. They're sick of it. It's family, they're just going to be real. I don't do a listening party.
This candid revelation offers a glimpse into the normalcy of Perry's home life, despite her global stardom.
Perry's daughter Daisy, though only 4 years old, is already showing signs of following in her mother's musical footsteps.
The singer shared an amusing anecdote about Daisy recently singing Perry's hit songs "Roar" and "Peacock." Perry humorously apologized to parents who may have experienced similar situations with their children singing her songs with suggestive lyrics in the past.
This charming detail illustrates how Perry's music career inevitably influences her family life, creating both heartwarming and sometimes awkward moments.
Katy Perry's revelation about her stepson Flynn's involvement in her music-making process offers a unique insight into her blended family dynamics. The 13-year-old's musical ear has impressed Perry, making him a valuable sounding board for her new album, 143. While the rest of Perry's family maintains a more casual relationship with her music, her daughter Daisy is already showing signs of musical interest.
