Katy Perry releases '143,' her first new album since 'Smile'

Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Katy Perry's new album, 143, dropped on Friday.

"I don't know about you but 143, for me, is a message from my angels. It means 'I love you,' in some digital language," the 39-year-old music icon had previously said on social media. "But it's a symbol that I get and have received in some of my hardest moments and it was something that started coming to me about two and a half years ago."
