CD- Katy Perry - One Of The Boys

Reviews, By Danm82, 15th July, 2008

She can sing, she’s got some catchy tunes and most of all, she kissed a girl. Katy Perry is about to take the world by storm with the release of her debut album One Of The Boys which is full of catching lyrics and memorable sounds.

With her single I Kissed A Girl getting major airplay across Australia, there’s probably very few who haven’t heard of Katy Perry these days. It’s grooving and infectious and a heap of spoofs popping up on YouTube including the inevitable I Kissed A Boy (Gay Remix).

Watch Katy’s I Kissed A Girl here:

And the spoof, I Kissed A Boy here:

Another hit track on her album is Ur So Gay which is a blatant dig at emos. She asks why on earth she went out with a guy who wears more make up than she does. Her voice warbles a bit like Australia’s own Kate Miller Heidke.

This album goes from the dynamic pop of One of The Boys to the dancing electro of I Kissed A Girl and Hot ‘n’ Cold. She also has a bit of a foray into the alternative scene with Ur So Gay. These are four of the best tracks on the album, although her talent shines through in all the tracks on this record. It’s a great listen and at the end you’re left wanting a bonus or hidden track so it isn’t over just yet. Sorry, there’s not.

This is the album that Ashlee Simpson should have released to save the career, but she didn’t. Fortunately for us though, Perry did! She’s an injection of hot new talent to a stale industry which threatened to bombard us with more covers and repetitious disposable albums from soap stars. The album will grab your attention and will have you grinning at some of the lyrics, tapping your foot at a few others and listening attentively at the rest.

Grab it, it’s hot.

Katy Perry – One Of The Boys is out now through Capitol Records.
