Katy Hudson (Katy Perry album)

Katy Hudson is the debut studio album by American singer Katy Perry, who was previously known as Katy Hudson. Released on March 6, 2001, through Red Hill Records, this album differs from her later work by focusing on Christian rock and contemporary Christian music. name="amg" Its lyrics reflect themes of childhood, growing up, and her Christian faith. Unfortunately, just before the album could gain any real attention, Red Hill Records went bankrupt, which meant it couldn’t be properly promoted. As a result, the album sold only around 200 copies and received a range of mixed reviews.
