Teenage DreamCapital ***

It's the high-school musical no parent wants to see, an excess-all-areas party. Katy Perry is the girl next door who takes you primly by the hand, then leads you into temptation. Her second album sees the future Mrs Russell Brand make the leap to major-league pop queen – chart-topping single California Gurls(featuring Snoop Dogg) is a mischievous missive from party central, while Last Friday Night (TGIF)confirms the party isn't about to stop. Peacockis Toni Basil's Mickey– with feathers. Between the streaking, strutting and skinny-dipping, Perry pauses for thought on Who Am I Living For?and Not Like The Movies, and takes a detour into 1980s power pop on Hummingbird Heart, but never losing sight of the ultimate goal – fun, fun, fun. www.katyperry.com
