Katy Perry – California Gurls ft. Snoop = Formula for success

Posted By TKBB On May 8, 2010 @ 12:57 pm In Music | No Comments

Even though, musically speaking, this song is nothing special, why will it be commercially successful?

  1. Autotune never fails to please the ears of the masses
  2. Snoop Dogg is a legend, and, even though this song is far from his roots, he will drive sales
  3. Production by the same cast responsible for “I Kissed A Girl” (a #1 hit)
  4. Similar structure and melody to recent pop hits “Party in the USA” and “Tik Tok”
  5. A reference to ‘gin and juice’ cannot go wrong
  6. “So hot we’ll melt your popsicle” sounds like a lyric young girls will remember
  7. Empowers women through descriptions of California girls as “fine, fresh, fierce” (alliteration, even!)
  8. Autotuned “California” is reminiscent of 2Pac’s “California Love”
