Katy Perry - Birthday (Lyric Video)


Katy Perry's latest lyric video outing is likely to induce a serious sugar rush, and if you were to consume that many cakes, probably death (only kidding...sort of). There's some pretty elaborate cake designs featuring in this video, so if you've got about 3 and a half minutes to spare it's probably worth a look, just for the cakes alone. But anyway, this isn't a cake decorating video (or is it?!), it's Perry's latest lyric video for her upcoming single 'Birthday'. Now, I can't be the only one to be disappointed that Perry didn't choose a track like 'Legendary Lovers' or 'Choose Your Battles' because those tracks were (in my opinion) much stronger singles than Birthday, but each to their own. 


I wonder whether or not this will pay off for Perry, but it's likely she wanted a different vibe following on from the release of 'Dark Horse', and 'Birthday' whilst not necessarily a favourite, is perfectly fine on its own and is uplifting enough to put you in a good mood. How long you stay in that good mood is entirely dependent upon how long the song takes to get grating. After all, there are only so many times you can hear the word 'Birthday' before you are sadly reminded it's not actually your birthday, or maybe it is - in which case, Happy Birthday. Perry's Birthday (which is essentially a metaphor for sex - sorry kiddies) is the fourth single from her fourth studio album, Prism, and is set for radio release on the 21st April (in the US).
