| Katy Perry's having a "teenage dream" |
Just hours after "California Gurls" fell from the top of the Hot 100, a number of radio stations premiered the pop star's new single "Teenage Dream".
She couldn't have chosen a better time to release "Teenage Dream", because sounds like the perfect end-of-summer song. Where "California Gurls" was a bundle of electropop joy, "Teenage Dream" is more subdued pop rock. Still, there is a whimsical air surrounding it, making the song a perfect soundtrack to sitting on the beach at the night with a bonfire. It's ironic that the setting is a part of Katy's perfect night with her guy. The song tells of the "teenage dream", which according to Perry consists of beaches, forts made out of sheets and going all the way. The credit goes to her lover, of course, who she claims brought her to life.
While some people may prefer Katy at her bounciest, this song is definitely one of her best records. "Teenage Dream" is as introspective and thoughtful as pop music gets, without sacrificing that boundless energy and charm that she exudes so easily. It's pretty hard to top a song that has owned the charts for six weeks, but Katy has done it, as easy as a dream.
