Monday Blues?

If my Facebook and Twitter feeds are anything to go by, no one likes Mondays. They are rough, It was hard for me to wake up today too. My bed is way too warm and comfy compared to the harsh reality of an 8:30 class. Thankfully, I had a bit of an incentive in the form of a new song.

Katy Perry's new album "Prism" comes out in 22 days (not that I'm counting or anything). Along with releasing the lead single "Roar" she has released a couple promo singles. The point of these songs is just to tease the album. They aren't necessarily supposed to get radio time, though if they do I'm sure none of her team will cry. They are just meant to show what is to come. The first of the two was called "Dark Horse." It is VERY different from anything Katy has done before. I get some major "ET" vibes from it, but it really isn't the same. Rapper Juicy J guests on it, giving the already trap beat and even bigger hip hop influence. It's a good song and I like it, but I don't love it.

My love is reserved for the second promo single. "Walking on Air." Pulling on 90's dance hits and a little bit of the EDM vibe, "Walking on Air" should have been the lead single. The undercurrent love theme is classic Katy. When I first heard it last night it instantly put me in a better mood. I'd been listening to Death Cab for Cutie and some other slower stuff while I waited for "Walking on Air" to be released. The minute the first beats started, I smiled. It made me want to dance in bed. If you haven't heard it yet, check it out below. Go buy it. Sing it in the shower. Dance to it in the car. I'm right there with you.
