Too often songwriters don’t get the credit or attention that they are so deserving of. With similar styling to that of Anna Nalick, Bonnie McKee is a name that every Britney fan should be aware of by now. She’s the writer behind her recent #1 debut Hold It Against Me and provide the vocals on the leaked demo. She’s also said to have written several other songs for Britney’s new studio album. Other popular tunes she’s written/co-written include Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream & California Gurls, as well as Taio Cruz’s Dynamite. Though she hasn’t had much success as a solo artist, she’s been internationally successful as a songwriter. Her 2004 debut album Trouble is a sugary piano driven soft rock record that only had 17,000 in sales. However, she’s said to be hard at work with Dr. Luke for her sophomore album, rumored to be released sometime this spring. I suspect it will be a very different sound then her debut album— her MySpace has several demos that are more beat-driven and 80’s flared pop. She’s got a voice that’s a blend of Katy Perry & Ke$ha, but with better control than both of them. Will Bonnie finally capture the attention of the fans she’s gained for so many other great pop artists?
