Analysis 4: Call Me, Maybe - Carly Rae Jespen

Theme Variety:  Very simple, verse, prechorus, chorus, verse, prechorus, chorus, bridge, prechorus, chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus...
or something like that.  The verse is light drums, voice, and very light guitar (or maybe EP? hard to tell...).  Chorus adds synth strings, which drown out the guitar (EP?) from the verse, if it's still there.  Voice, drums, bass are also there.  Bridge adds electric guitar.  Very simple themes.  Same four chords in almost the same progression except in verse.
Stars:  6

Music Complexity:  Very simple progression, almost entirely the same throughout.  Vanilla chords, major/minor, nothing interesting.  The synth strings' glissandos (google it) at the end of the choruses stick out to me like sore thumbs, almost to the point of being annoying.
Stars:  5.5

Dynamic Variety:  Softer in the verse, building in the prechorus, to its peak in the chorus.  Bridge is about the same as chorus.  Given there are only two verses and three prechoruses, not a lot of variety here.
Stars:  4

Singer Talent:  She enunciates well, two part harmony (a lower girl's voice beneath hers, maybe same girl), if the lower part in the verse is Carly as well, she has decent range.  If not, well...  Besides that, she can carry a tune decently.
Stars:  7.5

Perceptible Auto-tune:  Not a lot, but I can hear a little bit.  I think they reused the same chorus, prechorus, and bridge strips each time, but I don't hear much autotune in it.
Stars: 8.5

Lyrics:  Superficial.  The deepest part was of her throwing a wish in a well (which isn't right, really.  you throw a coin to get a wish...).  Repeated the chorus way too many times.  It's the standard "oh I'm so popular, but i want you, the boy who doesn't care about being popular" theme.
Stars:  5

Overall:  A teen girl song.  A song for girls to listen to to feel good about themselves.  I presume they relate to the "oh please call me" idea.  Repetitive and simple, but if that's what you like...
Stars:  6.08
