Katy Perry - One of the Boys [2008]
There’s a lot to like about Katy Perry. Her song “I Kissed a Girl” is reigning high on the iTunes chart right now. For those unfamiliar with her, I’d place her sound and style in the genre of pop. Her sound is reminiscent of 80s pop and with a bit of a edge that makes her comparable to other new acts like Sarah Bareilles. Don’t be fooled by the cover; Katy Perry’s music is far from frilly and girly. In fact, often times it’s the opposite as she spins out songs and lyrics that have caught the attention of pop royalty such as Madonna.
What you’ll like about “One of the Boys” is the chances Katy Perry takes with her lyrics. The song “I Kissed a Girl” isn’t truly groundbreaking or edgy but it’s a rock-style song with Perry bending gender a bit, taking on the position of a ‘girl gone wild’ whose just out to have fun and experiment rather than looking for love. The other stand-out song “Ur So Gay” plays with the beat, with Perry’s voice dripping and hanging off words and phrases as she rips into her loving boyfriend whose qualities brings questions to her mind. This is what makes Katy Perry so appealing; her music doesn’t sound like anything being played on American radio and sounds very fresh and appealing to all audiences. Other stand out songs are “Lost” which is rather ballad-like without being overly mushy and features some great vocal work on her behalf, the very 80s-pop orientated “Mannequin” and “Self Inflicted”.
