After a two year hiatus building her name, material, and apparently her voice, the debut single from X Factor season 2 contestant CeCe-- formerly known by her full name CeCe Frey-- is now available on iTunes. Stream it here.

It sounds like something Ke$ha would've done on Animal, it's alright.

I hear a lot of Katy Perry in the melody. Just, you know, way more interesting. Whoever wrote this did a really good job-- the chorus is insanely catchy. It's a bit dated, but it sounds more nostalgic than anything... which is odd because it isn't that dated.
Also worth noting: she's signed to LaFace Records. I knew LA Reid would sign her.

Yeah it does sounds like an old Kesha song, but I like it!

This is very Katy Perry/Ke$ha-y, but I like it. It's nice! :)

OMG YESSSSSSSS SLAY CECE!!!!! This song is everything. CeCe is and was the only star to grace the American X factor stage. |

It's catchy. Hopefully it does well. Nice to see some of the acts coming back with their solo music like Bea Miller. Wish them both luck.

This is exactly how I pictured her as an artist lol.
As for the song, it's alright. It sounds like a Kesha reject though.

I definitely hear the Katy/Ke$ha comparisons. I don't know, I want to love it, but I just can't yet for some reason.

If it came out that this was a Katy/Kesha reject it would make complete sense. Both because it sounds like it was written for them, and also because it doesn't really seem good enough for either of them.
The verses are pretty solid, but the chorus isn't so great - frankly, it's so repetitive I also wouldn't be surprised if the chorus had been written by Taylor Swift for her new album.

Doesn't work for me at all - just seems so lifeless and bland. Kind of the same deal as Bonnie McKee's "American Girl" in that it musically has obvious (obvious being the key word in the case of Bonnie) similarities to the Kesha and Katy Perry songs from a few years ago but doesn't have someone with superstar charisma to sell it.
As far as derivative songs released by cute blonde girls hitting pop soon, this is #2 behind "Too Cool to Dance."

I liked Bonnie's single more though. CeCe just needs a better song tbh... I hear potential in this song, but it just... doesn't connect for some reason.

Her vocals are quirky. It reminds me of Britney-- not that they sound similar, but their voices are very distinct and very much their own. There are a few moments during the verses that were odd at first, but they grew on me.
It's a good song, but I'm concerned that her tone might hinder it. The vocals are technically good, but it's like a less-extreme Marina and the Diamonds situation.

Kinda reminds me of this though: More or less the same style and she was an X Favtor alum for the girls. |

I want to like it, but it sounds so cheap. The echo effect in the chorus is cringeworthy. Definitely not as polished as it should be

This was added to rotation on Kid Kelly's show on SiriusXM. Sleeper hit.
