Untitled

Teenage Dream is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. It was released in the United States on August 24, 2010. The album's first single, "California Gurls", was released on May 7, 2010 and features the Californian rapper, Snoop Dogg. The song topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK and the US, with sales of more than four million digital downloads.

The album's title track was released on July 23, 2010 as the second single and went on to reach number one in Ireland, New Zealand and the US. The third single, "Firework", was released on October 26, 2010. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 192,000 copies in its first week.

On December 1, 2010, it was announced that Teenage Dream was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards. Additionally, the album's first single, "California Gurls" (with Snoop Dogg) was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and the title track and second single Teenage Dream was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Background

Prior to starting recording the album, Perry told Rolling Stone: "The second record is really important to me because I think it shows whether I'm meant to do this, or I got lucky. Basically what I want to do is not alienate the audience that I have at all. I think some people feel like they have had success with one thing and one idea and one record and they want to pull a 180 and try a totally different thing, I definitely feel like that's the wrong move. I feel like you just have to grow from it, you can branch off of it but keep the tree the same in some ways. Some people get full of themselves, and they think that anything they do is going to work or turn to gold or be the right move, and the reason why you're here is because of the people that like your music and the fans, so you always should keep an ear open to what they're saying". Perry said she would "definitely keep it pop. 'Lovefool' by the Cardigans meets 'Into the Groove' by Madonna but a little more meat on the bones lyrically. I'm not just gonna talk about the beat and just dancing, I like to get into the meaning."[4]

Recording and production

Perry performing "E.T." in Budapest.

Perry started recording the album on October 13, 2009, stating that she has "lots of layers to get through, thankfully Greg Wells is there to do the peeling". It has been announced that she is working with numerous artists and producers including Greg Wells,[5] Guy Sigsworth,[5] Dr. Luke,[5] Max Martin,[5][6] Ryan Tedder,[7] Rivers Cuomo,[6] Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell,[8] Greg Kurstin, Benny Blanco, Darkchild, Cathy Dennis, Ester Dean, The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, who told Rap-Up magazine in December 2009 that the sound of the album will be pop/rock, the same sound as One of the Boys. He added: "It’s a different gear for me. This is a very important project for me ’cause people are waiting to see what I’m gonna do".[9]

As for the visual component, Perry likens it to "going from Shirley Temple, Betty Boop to more of a Betty Paige, pop art-sarcastic-fun-Lichtenstein picture: still bright, but the colors are more saturated, and it's more metallic fuchsia or purple than bubblegum pink."[10]

On March 27, 2010, at 2010 Kids' Choice Awards, Perry told MTV News that the album is "coming out this summer. It's a summer record". She added that her previous teases about the album still fit. "It's what I said I wanted earlier," she told MTV. "We nailed it: It's roller-skating! It's '90s! It's Ace Of Base! It's Cyndi Lauper! It's like all these colors and more". She also said that there "might be some really cool guest appearances by some cool rappers from the West Coast. I mean, you'll just have to see, since I'm a California girl, you know. And then some best friends might be appearing. ... We'll see!. It's going to be fun. It's going to be one of those records that is everybody's favorite guilty pleasure".[6] Perry has also stated that the album is inspired by ABBA and The Cardigans. According to Perry, she gave her producer Dr. Luke a mixtape of songs by the two groups in order to demonstrate how she wanted her next record to sound. Perry described the album as "more groove-driven". She added, "When I went on tour, as much as I love all the in-between songs, I felt I was missing some of the stuff that made people bounce up and down."[11]

During a Rolling Stone photo shoot in April 2010, Perry revealed details about a song on the album, called "California Gurls", allegedly a response to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind", she stated: "It's so great that 'Empire State of Mind' is huge and that everyone has the New York song, but what the fuck? What about LA? What about California? It's been a minute since we had a California song and especially from a girl's perspective. We took the references of Prince, which is always a great reference, and some of the '90s, almost house music references".[12] The song features California rapper Snoop Dogg.[13] USA Today gave the song a positive review: "Potential single California Gurls, with Snoop Dogg, is an effervescent toast to summer fun".[13] Perry also spoke about working with producers Max Martin and Dr Luke: "Working with Max Martin and Dr Luke was a wonderful collaborative effort, I worked with them on the first record ['One of the Boys'], and of course I wanted to come back and work with them even more on this record, so instead of it being two songs we have six or seven on this record now".[12]

On April 30, 2010 Perry stated that it's the last day of recording the album and thanked Greg Wells, one of the producers. On May 5, 2010, Perry shot the album cover. On July 21, 2010, the official album cover[14] was premiered via a live webstream with Will Cotton, at the Will Cotton's Art Studio.[15] On July 23, 2010, the album's official track listing was posted on Perry's official website.[16]

She also worked with Ryan Tedder and Darkchild on the album, but those tracks failed to make the final tracklist.

Composition

"Some songs are pretty sweet, but when you hear the entire album, is quite appetizing. Not only wanted to make music for parties. The people living real lives, work, have relationships. There is a higher proportion and perspective on this album too." Circle the Drain 'is my' You Oughta Know 'by Alanis Morissette. I speak the word' fuck up 'about five times in music, but do not think it will shock people - you always say this when you need it.[17]

The title song of the album, "Teenage Dream", is considered an electronic ballad with composition quiet and romantic at the same time with sounds made by synthesizer music.[18][failed verification] "And it was in Santa Barbara that sparked my creativity. It was there that came all the feeling of euphoria in me. Everyone remembers their dreams of adolescence [...] all posters left in the wall of our bedroom, you know", said Perry to MTV News.[19] According to Katy Perry, though "not have much substantive content", "Last Friday Night" conveys a good sense as "I Gotta Feeling of The Black Eyed Peas" and was called a new version of "Waking Up in Vegas."[20] "California Gurls" has been written as a response to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and pays tribute to women, and beaches Lifestyle California state.The song follows the style electropop, containing sounds of synthesizers and some stretches helped by Auto-Tune, which turned it into a "beach theme song," said James Montgomery MTV.[21] She had told Rolling Stone that she felt compelled to create a song about California when he saw some people from American West Coast singing the music of Jay-Z who does homage to New York, and because long ago they did not create something on the state Californian, mostly about the prospect of a girl.[22] "We got some references to Prince, which is always a good reference. In addition, you must reference the house music of the 1990s," Perry said about the major influences of "California Gurls." "Firework" was inspired by the classic book by Jack Kerouac,On the Road, and the singer told the BBC that "the book he talks about how he wanted to be near people were buzzing, efevercendo and making people go like fireworks in the sky".[23][24] In the song, Katy Perry motivates and inspires people not to be common to excel, and singer told MTV News that "[the song] is real, because he has a great beat, but also has a great message."[25] "Firework" has a musical sequence with violins mixed with house music, and the voice of Katy Perry was called by Chris Ryan MTV Buzzworthy as "an inspirational diva vocals of house music"[26] In "Peacock," Perry said he used puns that will awaken many perspectives on each person. The singer follows a style electro rock in "Circle the Drain," a song in which she criticizes her ex-boyfriend and frontman Gym Class Heroes Travie McCoy.[27] In "Circle the Drain," the singer vents about addiction remedies, therefore, did your ex-boyfriend to die gradually.[28] In "Who Am I Living For?" Katy Perry expressed about their spirituality and faith, citing the biblical character in music, Esther as inspiration. "Hummingbird Heartbeat" was inspired by the singer's fiance, Russell Brand, which also inspired the song "ET" later.[29] "Not Like the Movies" is a song played by piano music and unique style that follows the romantic ballad "Teenage Dream", the song is a novel that in reality are never equal to the love stories of the great productions film. Due to Music sound, MTV Buzzworthy compared to this song "My Immortal" from Evanescence and "Everytime" by Britney Spears.[30]

"Teenage Dream" was released on August 24, 2010, in the United States[31] as a digital download in iTunes and on Compact Disc by Capitol Records.[32] Worldwide, the album was released on August 30, 2010 and distributed by EMI Music Publishing Group on CD and also available as a digital download.[33] The deluxe version was made available on August 27, 2010 in the U.S. , consisting of two CDs and the twelve original tracks, plus songs the singer took part in 2009 with 3OH!3 in Starstrukk and Timbaland in If We Ever Meet Again".[34] The deluxe version includes remixes of "California Gurls" and "Teenage Dream". When speaking of what the album mean to her Perry said:

"I believe that when talent meets preparation and opportunity, you breathe success. I thank God for my talent and I thank my wonderful and entertaining my family by DNA. The preparation, I thank the brilliant people who helped me to grow musically and personally. We are a team of which we must be very proud. Finally ... the opportunity to meet with you. You are central to my existence, and I'll never forget it. We will do great things together - you wait, watch and listen. I hope this CD cause a spark in the fireworks of your dreams, no matter what your obstacles - her pure and true teen dream. From my cloud of cotton candy from California. Love my new and improved work.[35]

The Beach Boys have allegedly threatened a lawsuit due to Snoop Dogg's line 'I wish they could all be California Girls', which they consider to be one of their classic lines.[36]

According to review aggregator Metacritic, Teenage Dream received an average of 52 out of 100 indicating mixed or average reviews from music critics, based on nineteen critiques.[72] Allmusic said: "And, once again, the music feels familiar, so Perry distinguishes herself through desperate vulgarity, wooing a suitor with “you make me feel like I’m losing my virginity,” extolling the virtues of blackouts and an accidental ménage à trois, melting popsicles, pleading for a boy to show her his “Peacock” (chanting “cock cock cock” just in case we at home didn’t get the single entendre). All this stylized provocation is exhausting, and not just because there’s so much of it (none of it actually arousing). It’s tiring because, at her heart, Perry is old-fashioned and is invested in none of her aggressive teasing."[73] Mikael Wood of Spin gave a mixed review and noted, "Teenage Dream won't disappoint parents looking for reasons to worry about their kids ... Perry delivers the gurl-gone-wild stuff with requisite sass, but she actually sounds more engaged on 'Not Like the Movies' and 'One That Got Away'".[69] Leah Greenblatt wrote for Entertainment Weekly, "Beneath the fruity outfits and fart jokes, Perry is clearly serious about the business of hit songcraft; that doesn't make Dream nearly cohesive as an album, but it does provide, intermittently, exactly the kind of high-fructose rush she's aiming for".[65] Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone commented "It sets the tone for Teenage Dream, Perry's album about Cali girls ... Throughout [the album] she chases an all-American teen-pop sound that's older than the Hollywood Hills".[67] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune gave a negative review to the album. He criticized the production, calling it a "Frankenstein-like", as well as the Perry's vocal production "(she sounds robotic, like a wind-up toy incapable of singing with any elegance or nuance)", and he noted at the end of his review "With music as rigidly formulaic as this, no wonder the teens in her songs want to party until they blank out".[64] Slant Magazine said: "From Ke$ha's Animal to Christina's Bionic, pop music in 2010 already looks like a trainwreck of over-produced bad-girl debauchery, and Teenage Dream only adds to the pileup. That anyone managed to make a pop album worse than Animal this year is both perversely impressive and hard to believe, but Ms. Perry has found a way to lower the bar".[68]

Chart performance

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 192,000 copies.[74] In Canada, the album debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart selling 26,000 copies.[75] In Australia, the album also debuted at number one, as well as having been accredited with a Gold certification for sales of over 35,000 copies.[76] In the UK Teenage Dream debuted at number one with sales of 54,176,[77] doubling the sales of Eminem's Recovery.[78]
