Katy Perry – Roar

Since she sang in church as a child, I imagine she has strong vocal ability, but many of her songs seem to incorporate pop and electro elements.

In this track, I think she delivers her deep, soaring voice and power over a pop sound.

Matching the song title, the music video is set in a jungle where Katy frolics with animals and lets out a roar!
