THE UNFORGETTABLE

Opinion Piece

and has since blossomed. In fact, I didn’t particularly like Katy Perry pre-Teenage Dreams; not even, perhaps, after the release of California Gurls. Her outwardly confident and sexual nature is ever so slightly intimidating, and her general look sometimes appears too brash and almost uncomfortably Lady Gaga-esque.

However, Katy redeemed herself with the summer song Teenage Dream, the video for which I think matches the song in its greatness; not only does Katy look amazing, the male eye-candy acting alongside her is certainly one to watch.

The latest release on the album, Firework, is said to be Katy Perry’s favourite out of all the tracks. Talking about the inspirational song, she has said, “It’s hard, I think, to write an anthem that’s not cheesy, and I hope that this could be something in that catKat y

My personal favourite of the album is Hummingbird Heartbeat, the opening of which goes along the oh-so-subtle lines of “You make me feel like I’m losing my virginity.” Never one for shying away from bluntness, you cannot deny that Katy Perry is a modern-day lyrical genius. And neither can I deny the unadulterated pleasure that listening to T.G.I.F and Peacock brings to my ears.

All in all, this is an album that ticks all of the pop boxes, and which has ultimately resulted in hours of guilty pleasure listening.
