Song of the Week- Birthday by Katy Perry, from the album Prism

With Christmas fast approaching, a lot of music acts have been releasing record in the last quarter of the year to really maximise their sales. Out of a lot of the releases that I have heard, there is one song that I keep finding myself going back to, and that is Birthday by Katy Perry. Birthday is just a stunner of a track that is pop brilliance and which must, must be a future single from the album Prism. Lyrically the track is a sugary sweet, double entendre filled tune with a massive, gets stuck in your head so easily chorus in which Perry basically tells her man that with her sensuality and love and she will make it like his birthday every day. Perry utilises her falsetto to awesome effect within the song, giving us a really cute, airy texture to the track that perfectly captures the lyrical message and intensifies the tracks appeal tremendously. And producers Dr Luke and Max Martin do a stellar job with the tracks sound, giving us a Mariah Carey like tune featuring saxophone blasts and an all-round light texture that is snappy and fun and just creates this amazing pop jam that you can’t help but love.
