Every detail is where it should be, from the multi-tracked vocals on the chorus to the synth sound effects that provide punctuation and punchlines to the verses, to some of the more clever rhymes in the lyrics-which include pairing "Oprah" with "Boca" and "I'm like a crook tonight" with "I could be your kryptonite." It's a song that sparkles more and more as it goes, and you pick up new delightful little flourishes about the songwriting and production that you never noticed before with each successive listen.īut like 99% of great pop songs, it's all about that chorus. The appeal of "Ready Or Not" stems from the fact that it does a lot of the little things right, and also a lot of the big things. It makes Bridgit seem charismatic and likeable, cocky without being obnoxious, and most importantly, it makes her seem like her own person-always the critical Step One in trying to expand a Disney star to mainstream pop success tonight.
The song is a playful, swinging and just impossibly catchy-the catchiest we've heard since Our Girl Carly Rae-pop number, and the kind of introductory song (it's the lead single and first track from Bridgit's debut Hello My Name Is., and she actually says the album title in the song's lyrics) that any burgeoning pop talent would (or at least should) kill for. In any event, it's here now, and it's on all of us to make sure the song becomes the smash it deserves to be. and Carly Rae Jepsen, it's hard to still be all that surprised by it, either. We wouldn't have expected Mendler, star of Disney's Good Luck Charlie and last year's TV movie Lemonade Mouth, to make the pop song we've been utterly obsessed with the last few weeks-but then again, in a year where the biggest and best pop singles have belonged to the likes of Gotye, fun. Have you heard Bridgit Mendler's "Ready or Not" yet?
