Katy Perry delivers excellent pop on "Firework"

By Julia Novak


Katy Perry is probably the only pop star I could ever really feel compelled to deem a "guilty satisfaction." In my opinion, there are two kinds of catchy in the planet: The one with pop hooks so properly-crafted you'll want them replaying in your head until finally the finish of time ("Umbrella," "Just Dance"), and then there's the obvious, derivative kind of catchy that lead to you to itch and melt away like an "Micro Niche Finder".

Perry's productions are usually in the latter category. In truth, they kind of like the music equivalent of herpes: Wildly contagious, bothersome, and ultimately probably to lead to an intensive awkwardness when revealing your issue to lovers and pals. Get for instance one of the summer's largest singles, "California Gurls." The track is minor more than a direct rip of BFF Ke$ha's superior drunk-pop anthem, "Tik Tok," nevertheless it's managed to thrive nonetheless.

It isn't often the songs-generally the product or service of a suite of Swedish pop masterminds-that cause such pangs of guilt and anguish, but fairly Perry herself, whose doe-eyed, potty-mouthed persona leaves much to be sought after. Aside from the occasional second of sugary sweet brilliance however ("Katy Perry Firework mp3 download"), the party balloons deflate instead speedily, resulting in a document that feels about as fluffy as the pink cotton candy swirled about Perry's naughty bits on the cover.

Perry's shtick is obnoxious and, at instances, hypocritical. Bolstered by a devoutly religious upbringing (and short-lived run as a Christian rock artist), she has the gall to criticize her fellow pop stars for currently being blasphemous sluts although at the same time shooting whipped cream out of her tits and posing topless for Rolling Stone and "SEO Forum".

But beneficial pop is beneficial pop, and every now and then, Katy Perry delivers good pop. This week sees the release of Teenage Dream, Katy Perry's adhere to-up to her massively successful 2008 debut, One particular of The Boys. The album, like the a single before, is a veritable "who's who" of the leading pop producers in the sport, such as Max Martin, Tricky Stewart, Greg Wells, Benny Blanco, Dr. Luke, and Stargate.
