Okay, so, we're not looking at life altering material here. There are some great tracks on her new disc, One Of The Boys .
My favourites from her new album are "Hot N'Cold", "Ur So Gay" and "Waking Up In Vegas". They're catchy, almost as catchy as "I Kissed A Girl".
Katy Perry is no newcomer to the scene, she's been working behind the scenes, writing and producing for Liz Phair, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears and ...wait for it - KoRn. It's worth noting that some songs from teenage scandal queen Miley Cyrus were penned and sung by Katy previously.
But back to the album. "Hot N'Cold" is an anthem for those stuck in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to make up their mind when it comes to anything.
"Ur So Gay" - which has been just as 'controversial' as "I Kissed A Girl" is not a homophobic song. It's actually an EMO bashing song, with such choice lyrics as, "You're so sad, maybe you should buy a happy meal, you're so skinny, you should really supersize that deal, secretly you're so amused that nobody understands you..." and "I can't believe I fell in love with someone who wears more makeup than me..."
Katy Perry will appeal to the girls who were one of the boys and maybe to those who like their chick rock a bit catty.
3.5 Yowzas out of 5.
