Song of the Day: Pretty Girls - Iyaz (Feat. Travie McCoy)


Oh, Iyaz... How we loved you when the perfect iPod song, "Replay", came out. And how we hated when your single "Solo" never lived up to the hype we generated. What happened, Iyaz? It's been more than a year since you hit us with your last single in the US. Luckily, you've released a new hit single with Travie McCoy in "Pretty Girls". Does it help make up for all the time we've waited for your release? Find out below!



There's no doubt that this song provides great relief for those waiting for a new Iyaz release. It's very similar to "Replay" - fun, electronic pop that makes up for most of the song - except for one thing: Travie McCoy. It's no surprise, however, that this only adds to the makeup of the song, as he's starred in such songs as "Billionaire" and "Higher".

However, this song fails in its poorly-written chorus. Although it rolls off the tongue well, it honestly makes Iyaz sound stupid.

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
I'm trying to pick the right one
I'm trying to pick the right one
I'm trying to pick the right one
I'm trying to pick the right one

There's a lot of pretty girls in this city
There's a lot of pretty girls in this town
I'm trying to pick the right one
I'm trying to pick the right one
Trying to find a shorty to hold me down

Tell me is it you, girl?
Is it you, girl?

Is it you, girl?
Is it you, girl?

However, as a whole, "Pretty Girls" is a catchy song. There's really not much holding this back from being stuck on replay on everyone's iPod!
