LISTEN: Katy Perry's "Firework" & "Peacock" (Full)
The inevitable just happened - In only six days Katy Perry's new album "Teenage Dream" will see the light of day, so it was just a matter of time until more songs or the entire CD leaked into the Web - In this case, just two more songs have surfaced on the Internet and much to my hapiness they are the two tracks we were all highly-anticipating to hear in full! The first one is "Firework", the *confirmed* third single from Katy's third studio album. Sounded so good from the little snippet and sounds beyond amazing in its entirety! Katy's vocals in the chorus are sooooo powerful and diva-esque. Also love how in the chorus they introduce the "dance" beats (adds lots of energy!), and overall reminds me a bit of Agnes Carlsson' songs.
The next new leak is "Peacock". A fan-favorite that Katy debuted a month ago in the concerts she gave in Malasyia and Singapore. A fun song, nasty lyrics for some, but still something fun that is meant to be obviously provocative. It was THE big candidate for third single choice and even Katy's pick but her label said no! no! no! "They were all a bit worried about the word "c**k" and it gave me deja vu because they did the exact same thing with "I Kissed A Girl". They said, "We don't see it as a single; we don't want it on the album". And I was like, "You guys are idiots". Oh come on people! Make up your minds and release then "Peacock" as fourth single. It's a certified hit. Don't be so conservative. Please? :).
Summing up, I just cannot wait until my copy of "Teenage Dream" (already pre-ordered) arrives to my home in Madrid. Every song that has leaked is a freakin' smash hit. I like this fact. No fillers in this album just pure pop magic. Remember August 24 guys! And....exlusive CD preview this Sunday on Facebook!
