Totally hooked on this album.

 

First 4 are immense. Kiss n' Tell and YLIMD I can't turn off.

The album makes a #42 debut in ireland this week and the blah blah blah song with 3oh!3 is new at #26 aswell.

Totally hooked on this album.

Hello stranger :o Havent even seen any of your tweets in ages!

Hiya, yea I'm still at home as my Dads not well so never really get chance to log on, just have the odd read through!

 

I adore Dinosaur too lol. Just not as much as the the first 4 I have to admit! Not one track I would say I really dislike though which is great

I honestly can't see them not releasing Blah Blah Blah as the second single after how huge it's on iTunes atm. YLIAD would be such a mistake, my word, it sounds too similar to TiK ToK and it hardly has the #1 potential BBB has. I'm literally praying for this now, correct second single choice is so crucial for a debut artist no matter how big the first single was.

I want YLIMD as 2nd single.

I want YLIMD as 2nd single.

 

:blink:

 

How can you not deny that would be a mistake after BBB is blowing up on itunes WW?

I dont think blowing up is the word... Especially in the US...

Well yeah in the US it's already pwned the charts. But on a WW scale it is moving up the charts. They really need to send BBB to radio RIGHT NOW.

Were it not for its success on iTunes there's no way in hell I'd release Blah Blah Blah for at least another two or three singles. The chorus is the only strong part of the song and it's exceptionally repetetive and not particularly catchy. I'm really baffled by its US success and don't think it will be huge in the UK.

She looks absolutely beautiful without the glitter/heavy make up

And a little quote from an interview:

 

We had 200 songs that we narrowed down to 15.

I only have about 38! Thats excluding the Album tracks... There could be so many pop gems in that 200 :(

I imagine most were unfinished or just bits of scraps. Anyway the good ones will have made it if she did the narrowing down herself.

 

I'm so in love with the album now! :( Backstabber and Hungover have been added to my Hot Shit playlist, along with Stephen and Take It Off. Quite the acolade, I can tell you.

blah blah blah has to be the next single with its itunes reaction already, im sure 3oh!3 would like it aswell as i think they need every single bit of promo they can now after their own album doing so badly.

Blah Blah Blah is quite addictive.

I'm still undecided whether I like her music though as I found some of it quite squeaky?

 

 

Only listened to the album a few times, so my faves are 'Your Love Is My Drug', 'Take It Off', 'Stephen', 'Hungover' and 'Backstabber'. Oh and Dinosaur just for the sake of it. ^_^

Although we said that the 22-year-old pop trollop Ke$ha was a face to watch in 2010, even we at Pop & Hiss were a bit taken aback at how right we were. She currently has the top two slots on iTunes on lockdown, with her inescapable electro-sass singles "TiK ToK" and "Blah Blah Blah." For chart geeks, she also has the distinction of appearing on the two bestselling first-week singles in Billboard history, if you count her cameo on Flo Rida's "Right Round." Whether or not you agree with Ann Powers' take that she's the Mae West of this current pop moment, Ke$ha is the first breakout voice of 2010, and we felt we owed you a longer conversation with her. She spoke with us about condom cannons, her rag-picking skills and finally getting revenge against that chick who stole her car.

You made your album "Animal" while living in Echo Park, probably L.A.’s most knives-out neighborhood for music snobbery. Did you ever catch flak from the locals for making such unapologetic party pop?

I think hipsters helped me do it. I saw pretension everywhere and wanted to fight against it. Certain songs on the album are serious, but people really need to take themselves less seriously in pop music. I come out on stage and do cartwheels in laser gloves with a cannon that shoots condoms and confetti.

So many musicians are afraid to laugh at themselves. Why is that?

That’s why my Twitter handle is "Keshasuxx,” if I say it first then you can’t say it about me later. People can hate me for any reason they want, but I’ve already beat them to the punch line.

I’ve heard you have yet to make royalties off of your cameo on “Right Round.” Does that still bother you?

I never had dreams of being gluttonous about money, that’s why I put the dollar sign in my name, as a joke. I don’t care that I didn’t make money off it.

Really? That was the bestselling first-week single of all time.

If I work hard enough, it’s all karma. It was an accident that I was even on it: We were both working with Dr. Luke, and he asked me to sing on it. It’s never been about money. I don’t even know how much money I have in my bank account now. I know it’s more than it was before that single, but I’m just excited to not be waiting tables anymore.

You mentioned you do have some ambitions toward more serious songwriting. What does a serious song from Ke$ha look like?

I wrote on every song on the record, and that’s something I’m really proud of. We had 200 songs that we narrowed down to 15. “Steven,” for instance, it’s about a guy I’d been stalking. He’s this pretentious hipster to the max, he was a total loser but I was obsessed with him. It’s a vulnerable song! It’s all about “why won’t you call me?”

Do you think there’s any kind of third-wave feminist undercurrent to the bawdy way you write?

I’m just speaking about men the way they’ve written about women for years. If you listen to LMFAO, all their songs are about how women are pieces of meat. I find that kind of stuff funny, so I want to do it back to them. It’s not meant to be taken seriously, I just wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine. There’s such a double standard for women.

Do you think that sensibility is something young women will respond to?

This record very accurately documents my last four years of being absolutely broke in L.A. It’s honest, it’s real and I hope people can appreciate it. There was a good pop song in everything I did back then, like the backstabbing girl who stole my car. But the last song, “Animal,” that’s my philosophy on life, and that might be more the direction I go in the future. It’s about remembering that we’re really all just animals, and I indulge that more often than most people. I never said I was going to be the best influence.

So what should they take away from you instead?

I’m making sure people know there’s no connection between money and happiness. I remember sitting in the Gold Room with two dollars in change wearing clothes I found in the garbage, but I was surrounded by people that love me. Those were my favorite moments from that time. To this day, if I see a pile of clothes on the side of the road, I’ll still pull over.

I'm embarrassed I enjoy parts of this album.

 

It's really horrible.

 

f*** you Kesha and your soulless yet incredibly addictive pop music. ;( From an artistic standpoint, I can at least admit she's god awful though.

 

Also, the $ is incredibly embarrassing and needs to go.

Guys, you do understand 22.02 is the date for the USA, not for the UK. We'll probably get it somewhere in May.

May? Considering 'TiK ToK' was released in November, and we are getting the album in February, I doubt that.

It was about the UK as the article was talking about UK Release Dates concerning Ke$ha..
