I never really liked Katy Perry. Her songs were catchy but I figured they were gimmicks and dumb. And then, just when I thought she couldn’t possibly be any dumber, she goes and does something like this…. and totally redeems herself. Considered the Cali version of Jay-Z and A. Keys’ NYC anthem, “Empire State of Mind”, “California Gurls” gets a helping hand from Mr. Westcoast himself; Snoop Dogg. The song is yet another 80’s inspired joint that is destined to be this Summer’s anthem.
