Katy Perry
Teenage Dream is the third studio album and second mainstream album by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. Released on August 24, 2010, the album's lead single "California Gurls" featuring Snoop Dogg hit number one.
Producers included Max Martin, Dr Luke, Benny Blanco and Rico Love.
Entertainment Weekly says:
She tends to connect best in '80s leotard-lady mode, as showcased on the deliciously glitchy throwback ''E.T.'' - imagine Lita Ford crawling through Trent Reznor's night terrors, Inception-style - and the aerobic, synth-spangled title track. Her Ke$ha-esque party-till-my-parole-officer-calls shtick on ''Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),'' however, just feels hollow. 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.
