Gerard Way, former lead singer from the rock band My Chemical Romance recently tweeted the following image containing the artwork for My Chemical Romance’s upcoming greatest hits compilation:

The artwork was designed solely by Way. The band’s greatest hits compilation titled May Death Never Stop You is scheduled to be released sometime next year. It will be the final work from the band who announced their breakup last year.
What do you think of the artwork? I think it’s an interesting piece for a band’s final work, but I still don’t completely believe that this is the end. With a title of “May Death Never Stop You” I’m wondering how permanent this break up is. Is My Chemical Romance really over, or just redeveloping?

Yesterday marked the official release of Katy Perry’s new single from her forthcoming album “Roar”. Perry has been making a splash across the country as she travels with her Prism truck while promoting her upcoming album. She has also been filming videos burning her blue wig from her 2010 release, “Teenage Dream”.
While “Roar” isn’t too far off from Perry’s signature pop sound, the song has a much more grown up and powerful message than much of her previous singles. It has a hint of self-empowerment similar to “Firework”, but “Roar” somehow sounds like a stronger tune. The song does more than just celebrate individuality. This is a fighting anthem encouraging listeners to rise above negative influences and to fight for themselves.
I personally see this song as becoming a positive break-up anthem. It is an ode to individuals that feel beaten down from their past relationships and in a way, Perry seems to be saying “You will be okay. You will roar.”
Check out the lyric video below and let me know what you think of “Roar”! Roar is available for purchase now on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play Perry’s upcoming album, Prism, will be available on October 22nd.
