May 12, 2010 Katy Perry – California Gurls
Everyone was watching out for her return on the musical scene. Nearly one year after the release of her last single “Waking up in Vegas”, the quirkiest pop star is finally back to make us dance on infectious beats and have some fun that summer. Seems like the 2008 breakthrough girl is still prone to self-derision and any kind of eccentricities and this is actually pretty great. She must be the only woman who can have blue hair on a single cover without looking ridiculous. Anyway, Katy Perry released her new single “California Gurls” on May 7th and the least we can say is that she didn’t loose her sense of humor since “Sex, Sun and California” are the key words of that new song…
Katy Perry tended to release a Californian anthem and we gotta admit she did it properly. The lyrics of the track rely on the collective imagination – California as we think it is – They are probably full of clichés and stereotypes but it’s actually fun and sounds like an amazing spoof of this area atmosphere. When listening to the song, “Sex Sea and Sun” are exactly the right words which come to my mind and that’s great: this is typically the kind of thought we wanna have when summer’s coming Once again, Katy Perry’s sense of humor and mockery are amazing. She doesn’t take anything seriously and that’s the reason she can be called the coolest pop star in America.
Musically speaking, she followed the trend but this is in fact still brilliant. The thing is there’s something fresher and spontaneous about her music so that we cannot blame her. “California Gurls” sends us right to California during summer with its electronic whooshes, its jerky beats and a sunny funky atmosphere. The massive chorus is possibly the strongest point of the tune with such amazing lines: “California Girls we’re unforgettable, Daisy dukes, bikinis on top”.
Finally the grass in California must be really greener than anywhere else…
