If there’s a weak link in the whole campaign, it might be Katy’s inferior vocals, which are flatter than her hair, flimsier than a teenager’s excuses and shallow as the cast of The O.C.Despite the overuse of crappy metaphors, it seems like a valid point. Again, I’ll have to listen to Katy’s music more before I can totally agree, but what appears to be her first single, Overdrive, sounded pretty good to me. But then again, I’ve recently been in a minimalist rock mood, with a little bit of an angsty itch here and there. I can’t tell you the number of times Liz Phair’s Rock Me from her self-titled album has come up on my iPod and I’ve cranked the stereo in the Benz as I drive home. It just hits me and makes me wish I had a 12″ sub in the back and some room to jump with the music. That’s kind of how Overdrive struck me when I heard it; I just want to rock to it. Of course, these are first impressions and are not, by any means, a thorough review of either Liz or Katy. I guess I just like hot chicks who rock.
No, she’s not some girlfriend I have on the side. I opened my New Music Tuesdays e-mail from the iTunes Music Store tonight and one of the new releases was an album by Katy Rose. The title of her album is Because I Can, and from the sample tracks I’ve heard on iTMS, she’s good. It’s a bit reminiscent of Avril Lavigne when she first came out: a cute young girl with a rocking sound. Then I stumble across this review at CANOE, a Canadian website. I haven’t listened to enough of Katy’s music, but CANOE had this to say:

I heard on the Howard Stern Show that her dad was a member of the Grateful Dead or he sat in when the band toured. So yah, they also said that she is heavily into drugs. At that age? That’s no good at all….
