Next Big Thing!

Many artists are making the move to become famous all around the world and for some, one in particular, it is working.





Katy Perry, from Santa Barbra, California, has been working very hard to release her first CD, entitled "Katy Perry: Ur So Gay". Her EP is said to arrive in June this summer. Be on the look out because this pop/rock dynamic singer/songwriter has major talent.





With the release of her first single, "Ur So Gay", which came out in November, 2007, she has caught the attention of many people. This song was said to be about her ex-boyfriend and how she had strong feelings for him, but he did not return those feelings, so instead of saying how stupid she thought he was, she says that he is "so gay". Many people, I've heard, were taking this song the wrong way and need to know that Katy didn't mean for this song to be used against gays, she is not homofobic, so understand that she is not trying to affend anyone.





Perry has worked with many producers to release this CD and many of which have worked with some of the most talented singers, Avril Lavine and Kelly Clarkson, to name a couple. And the working with them and having her own unique way of making her songs sound good makes her very talented, also. As she says in an interview, "One of the unique things about me recording is that I like to put down the vocal track with all the lights off in the studio. If I remember the lyrics, I don’t want anything to get in the way.I want to be a voice in the darkness. That’s not weird is it? It’s not like I’m naked or anything." Katy's senses of humor is good, but can be taken affensivly, for example, in the song "ur so gay" as I said before. It gets taken the wrong way and people complain about it, which gets so old. So don't take it the wrong way...





Katy Perry could be the next big thing, so be on the look out for her EP. Remember, June, 2008. And GO KATY! [personal comment]
