Album Description
Ever since the November 2007 digital release of the hilarious, zeitgeist-capturing single "Ur So Gay," Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Katy Perry has been wowing critics and fans alike (including the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna) with her big voice, sassy attitude, and feisty, confessional songs. Katy's debut album, One of the Boys, is a sharp, witty pop-rock gem filled with candid tales of neurotic ex-boyfriends ("Hot N Cold," "Ur So Gay"), crazy road trips with friends ("Waking Up in Vegas"), and figuring out who you are along the way (first single "I Kissed A Girl," "Fingerprints"). While the album displays Katy's feisty, girl-power swagger, it also reveals her more vulnerable side on such regretful ballads as "Lost," "I'm Still Breathing," and "Thinking of You." Although just 23, the Santa Barbara, CA-born native has been writing songs and playing guitar for several years, and possesses the flair and confidence of a veteran storyteller. Catch her in all her glory this summer when she joins the Vans Warped Tour for its entire coast-to-coast run.

 Opt for Edited for Teens January 9, 2009
fair reviewer (USA)
I got this as a gift for a teen who wanted it and was aware of a couple of the songs (and some controversy around the songs). I was unaware of some of the language involved however. I would opt for an edited version if buying for a teen-ager. I would definitely not buy this for children, the younger teen, or an immature teen.
 Loved it January 6, 2009

I got this for my daughter and it is great and the price was even better.
More than one of the boys . . . She's a Sensational Hit ! January 1, 2009
Barry Liimakka (NJ USA)
Katy Perry's One of the Boys is definitely one of the top CDs of 2008.
Why? Because her lyrics are crisp, witty, & genuine, the music bright & foot-tapping memorable, and the studio production masterful. Taken together, this is a great example of a true artist who holds nothing back & brings a fresh energy to an increasingly self-absorbed & cliche music scene.
I myself enjoyed all of the songs. My favs of course are "I Kissed a Girl" with it's driving beat & haughty lyrics and "Ur So Gay" with it's clever quick fire lyrics sung with emotional exapseration ... & I love the horns & great production on this track. The production of the entire CD really brings out everything that Katy puts into the lyrics and music. Listen with your headphones to see what I mean.
It's an album which never runs out of energy or authenticity. "One of the Boys", "Thinking of You", "I'm Still Breathing" & "Mannequin" each has a story to tell both in words and music. Perry's energy & intuition flows through each song.
Not all may like her edgy delivery, but as a singer/songwriter, Katy nails it. Don't take her lyrics literally, they're more an exploration of emotions & ideas . . . though I do feel sorry for the guy with no penis.
A "got to have" cd..for dj's..and every one else January 1, 2009
Mr. Joseph F. Addario (Albany, New York United States)
a great step into the light, she can talk about "things", and still keep style and class. i really hope her next recording is just as good, she set the bar high with this one!
