PART OF ME
Katy Perry
(CAP/EMI)
Impact Date: February 13
It’s official: Katy Perry‘s Teenage Dream is the new Good Girl Gone
Bad. It’s the pop album that won’t die, and secretly, nobody really
even wants it to. Sure, we all roll our eyes and groan whenever Katy
announces a new single or discounts her songs to three cents on
iTunes, but the woman has become such an unrivaled presence in
pop music that it’s hard to imagine life as a Top Forty fan without one
of her addictive anthems playing in the background. Katy’s latest
Z100 slayer is “Part Of Me”, an ancient Teenage Dream leftover co-
written with Bonnie McKee and produced by Dr. Luke. Bonnie may be
the worst dressed celebrity alive, but she has yet to pen a bad pop
song, and with Luke in tow, “Part Of Me” is guaranteed to be a great
before you’ve even heard it. It goes without saying that if you’ve heard
one Katy Perry song, you’ve heard ‘em all, but that’s not entirely a
bad thing. One half “Hot ‘n’ Cold”, one half “Teenage Dream”, “Part Of
Me” is every bit the kind of catchy pop-rock confectionery that we’ve
come to begrudgingly love from Katy.Despite lyrics about reclaiming
ones self after a split, “Part Of Me” is less of a breakup song than it is
a publicity stunt. It’s been released to shamelessly cash-in on Katy’s
highly-publicized divorce to Russell Brand (she even updated the
lyrics of the demo to include a wedding ring reference), but by this
point her total lack of integrity has become so commonplace that it’s
hard to even find the strength to get annoyed by her tacky antics any
more - especially when all her music sounds so damn good. Aside
from the timeless classic that is “Teenage Dream”, you never feel
much emotion from Katy’s tunes -she’s just too frivolous and
calculated to connect with- but it doesn’t really matter when her
songs are so well-produced. Who needs feeling when you’ve got the
greatest hook known to man blasting from your iPod?
