Your Teenage Dream


Artist: Katy Perry

Album: Teenage Dream

Genre: Pop

Release: August 2010






I know that Isabelle just did a piece on Katy Perry's newest album, "Teenage Dream", but I must add my input. Katy Perry's second official album is one that, once you start listening, you simply cannot stop. Really, it's catchy! This album titled "Teenage Dream" is perfectly suited to each one of the songs on this album, and also to the feelings of the listener as they remember when they were teenagers. It also makes actual teens feel just a little happier about their lives as they are. I have to say that I was skeptical of Katy Perry after her "I Kissed a Girl" passion, but that simply fades into the shadow of her new album. I highly recommend that you give it a listen, and pay special attention to the catchy tunes that wont leave your mind without Fireworks. Surely "California Girls" featuring Snoop Dogg was one of the first to make its way into radio stations nationwide, however, in the past week traveling across country, I heard "Fireworks" in almost every store we stopped at, which only made it stay on constant repeat in my memory. Katy Perry flows directly from catchy pop songs to deep, though somewhat different ones. There are, as always,other songs that are purely for fun, like"Peacock" and "Milk, Milk, Lemonade", but in songs like "Circle the Drain" and "Hummingbird Heartbeat", the song itself is almost as great as the lyrics.
Now, if you've heard this album, I have a question for you.
Have you lived your Teenage Dream yet?
