Katy Perry - 'One of the Boys' era

[vinyl]

I always think it's weird when people call their albums 'one of the boys' and then say they 'don't want to be one of the boys' in the title track - same with Rihanna's 'good girl gone bad'.

Katy Perry wants to be a pop star. The 23-year-old's debut, One of The Boys, came out in June on Capitol and has quickly spawned gender-bending underground fare like "I Kissed a Girl," a song whose title, it must be said, leaves little room for interpretation.

Perez Hilton and Madonna took notice early on and championed her; the latter happens to particularly like "Ur So Gay," Perry's screed against a metrosexual ex. That one begins: "I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf," and continues on to deride the sensitive tastes of emo boys in general. "I just started to notice that my jeans were missing, then my flat iron, then my eyeliner," Perry says, laughing. "I'm not stereotyping gay people, I'm making fun of myself. I always have my sense of humor."

A middle child born to two traveling ministers, Perry grew up in Santa Barbara, California, singing gospel, and even released a Christian album in 2001. But things changed when she moved to L.A. at 17, after having managed to recruit Alanis Morissette producer Glen Ballard to help develop her talent. (Ballard's not the only reason for Perry's switch to rock: she blames the influence of Queen and the Beach Boys, too.)

The result is a big, shiny collection of mainstream hits-in-waiting -- in other words, exactly what Perry was aiming for. "There's no Joan Jett, or Cyndi Lauper, or Pat Benatar today," she says. "I'm really in that pop-rock realm. That's my lane."

Katy Perry: How to Date Four Guys at Once

She kissed a girl, now breakout singer Katy Perry offers advice on man-juggling.

1. HAVE A BOY IN EVERY PORT
“As a sophisticated woman, you should have business in both Los Angeles and New York, and summer in Paris. You can’t just take an L.A. guy to Paris and expect him to know what the 6th arrondissement is. He would just take you directly to the Eiffel Tower with the rest of the tourists.”

2. STICK TO A TIGHT SCHEDULE
“Guys like to surprise you. Girls don’t like surprises. Which is why a precise calendar is important if you’re going to be an international player. You’ll need it color-coded. If you do get surprised, just let the other one out the back door. Always have a back door. And a laundry chute!”

3. KEEP YOUR PICS RATED P.G.
“Be particular about how you pose for photos, because the suggestive ones end up being tagged on Facebook. Trouble! We live in a world where you wake up and your whole diary from last night is on the Internet. You don’t even have to be a celebrity. You are your own paparazzi!”

4. DO NOT GIVE HIM A DRESSER DRAWER
“They can never leave their stuff! I was bringing back the things an old boyfriend left at my house, and I accidentally returned something that wasn’t his. He saw it, and he’s like, ‘This isn’t mine!’ And it’s like, ‘Well, it certainly could have been. I mean, you all wear Fruit of the fucking Loom!’”

Exclusive: "Hot N Cold" News!

Official Press Release: Capitol Records ?It Girl? KATY PERRY?s debut is turning into the best new artist breakthrough story of 2008. Perry?s fans -- online and in sweaty, exuberant Warped Tour crowds ? have been several tracks deep on the album for months, but the major mass media is catching up as fast as it can?and the fever has caught on worldwide.

As her ?I Kissed A Girl? logs its seventh week atop the Billboard Hot 100 and seals its status as the undisputed song of the summer in America, major Top 40 radio stations across the country, including the national Top 40 format leader Z-100 WHTZ/New York, have jumped on adding her new single, the wild electronic romp ?Hot N Cold.? Blender Magazine calls the track a ?spunky, climate-controlled kiss-off,? and Entertainment Weekly agrees, ?It?s damn fun.? A video is scheduled for a Los Angeles shoot late in August, with official release to radio early in September. Perry will make the premiere live television performance of ?Hot N Cold? on NBC?s Today show outdoor concert series on August 29th.

Elements of Musicians's Style:

Not all musicians wear kevlar vests, wife-beaters and no-panty miniskirts. Four fashion paragons model the clothes they love—their own—and explain what defines their look...



Katy Perry: The St. Louis stop of the Warped Tour, among fans



“As a girl, I was obsessed with those crazy flamenco-looking outfits that were supposed to be returned at the end of dance recitals—mine weren’t.

Now my style is a very pinup Vargas-girl thing, like Lolita. It comes from working in an antique store when I was 15. I can be sexy, but I don’t put it all out on display. I may be wearing something prim and proper, but underneath it I’ve got a bullet bra and a garter, so watch out!

My music is very sassy—it’s full of attitude and humor, and that’s exactly my fashion sense. I have a thing for hearts and stars and puppies and kittens. It’s cheeky.”

[OH SNAP!]

I really like this album!

[K.]

What do people want the next single to be? I think it should be Waking Up in Vegas, Thinking of You, or One of the Boys. All three are very different sounds from the first two singles but still radio friendly. If You Can Afford Me and Self-Inflicted would make good singles but I think they are too similar to Hot N Cold and should be saved for later.

TOY is probably the biggest risk, although it's my favorite of the three. I think Waking Up in Vegas is probably the best choice because it's the closest to IKAG and HNC without sounding like a rehashing.

How are they ANYTHING like HNC?

I want Vegas next.

[K.]

Kind of a DRAMATIC reaction, lol. I think they are similar structurally. Try singing If You Can Afford Me over Hot N Cold and tell me what happens. The chord progressions are identical.

[whistle]

I think they should release "Thinking of You" and then "Waking Up in Vegas".
