One year after the release of her debut single, “Mess Of You,” Kimberly Caldwell returns with a follow up “Desperate Girls and Stupid Boys.” While the year-long span of time between singles, coupled with the fact that “Mess Of You” barely registered a blip on any chart, does not bode for Caldwell, I choose to remain optimistic. She’s got some pipes on her. That deep, honey coated voice that I remember from her season of American Idol (Season 2) sounds better than ever now and this “empowerment anthem for people everywhere” is the perfect vehicle to relaunch Kimberly Caldwell into the spotlight.
The song, written by Tommy Henriksen, BC Jean (LOVE her) and Zac Maloy, was released on iTunes on December 7th and features a yet-to-be-released video directed by Lex Halaby. “Desperate Boys and Stupid Girls” will be single #2 from Caldwell’s forthcoming debut album, Without Regret, due out in Spring 2011 on Vanguard/Capitol Records. When talking about her jiving with the song, Caldwell says:
“I automatically connected with this song because life is so much brighter and easier when you stop trying so hard to fit in. It’s important to surround yourself with the special people in your life who appreciate you for who you really are and always have your back.”
