At the tender age of 16, Kesha dropped out of school and moved to Los Angeles to make her mark in the recording industry under the wing of famous producer Dr. Luke. Kesha eventually went back to school for her GED demonstrating her committment to her career and education. It turns out moving to L.A. was the best thing she ever did and ended up with her guesting on tracks by Flo Rida and Taio Cruz, appearing in the Katy Perry video for “I Kissed a Girl” and co-writing songs for Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, including the mega-hit Till the World Ends. Now, following her worldwide success on the electro-pop scene Kesha is setting her eyes on an old school rock album. Perhaps she’ll find inspiration on upcoming Van Halen tour dates. With Kesha’s instincts, whatever the outcome it’s sure to be brilliant. |

She angered fictional parents in her “Tik Tok” video, pranced around with the boys of 3OH!3 in her “Blah Blah Blah” clip and frolicked with a bearded boyfriend in an animated desert for her “Your Love Is My Drug” video. It might seem like Ke$ha had already done it all, but she ups the ante again in her latest clip. In photos from the singer’s “Take It Off” video set, she’s seen wearing really, really short shorts, a white fur coat and even rocking super-high platforms while posing on a motorcycle. And Ke$ha even returns to the desert, joined by a number of dancers in the sand.For the video, it looks like Ke$ha ditched her signature waves for straightened locks, a look that is more polished than we’re used to seeing from the party-girl pop star. But, of course, Ke$ha is keeping it dirrrty by including some face paint and covering herself in the aforementioned sand. “Take It Off” is the latest single from Ke$ha’s highly infectious Animal debut, released earlier this year. In the past, Ke$ha has said that the album is a perfect representation of who she was as a person while she was recording it with super-producers Max Martin and Dr. Luke. “I’m excited about it, because it kind of accurately documents my life over the past four years,” explained Ke$ha, who is currently on the road with Rihanna. “And I think any girl, and hopefully guys too, can relate to the record. I talk about pretty much anything — you name it. … I think that throughout the album, what I’m really proud of — I think every song you can tell it’s me. It’s all really honest — almost to a fault — and really genuine.” Source: MTV |

“Rihanna’s (tour is) gonna be so insane. It’s gonna be so fun. It’s like a two month long dance party with like hot babes everywhere and like just fun times and lasers and, you know, good songs.” Ke$ha also spoke about what fans can expect from her shows with Rihanna… “I really want, like, when people come to my show, I want them to kind of be like, ‘Wow, I just went to like, this like, party’ not like a musical show where you sit down and watch. I want people to feel involved. Um…and hopefully leave covered in sweat and glitter, and maybe beer and, you know, hopefully on a mission to get laid afterwards. I hope I can inspire people to want to get laid.” Rihanna’s Last Girl On Earth Tour, which also features Travie McCoy, kicks off tomorrow night night and rolls its way across North America, finishing off on August 28th at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, NY. Here’s the full list of dates: Ke$ha, who scored a breakout hit with her party anthem “TiK ToK,” now apparently wants to be taken seriously. The singer, who is one of the year’s top-selling artists and arguably the most successful newcomer, obviously has a party-girl image… but she says that’s not really the truth. The 23-year-old told Yahoo! that she has been misrepresented and actually is a responsible, hard-working person who is not out at nightclubs getting drunk or doing drugs with no underwear. “People say ‘party girl’ and instantly you think: DUI, drug problem, (privates) out, no underwear, going to nightclubs every night. Problem. I’m none of the above.” |

We were just at Bonnaroo, so we should be used to bizarre, sweat-drenched scenarios, but Ke$ha’s way-sold-out flood benefit made Bonnaroo look like a temperate day at the church picnic. We knew shit was going to be hectic when we had to wait in line for 15 minutes just to pay for parking. (Seriously, it seems like a bunch of people skipped their remedial button-pushing class. It ain’t that tough, folks.) When we actually made it out of the parking lot and into the venue, event staff were already pulling out limp, convulsing, heat-stroked bodies to the strains of Heypenny’s quirky indie pop. Now, we’ll admit that Heypenny has made us limp from time to time (for completely different reasons, obvs) but we have to say that watching a hot, hazy club full of people who obviously don’t spend a lot of time in clubs totally enraptured was really endearing. If we had a dollar for every person we heard talk about how cool their set was when we were outside getting some desperately needed oxygen, we could have gotten really drunk and bought a bunch of hot dogs. Whatever jokes we might make about our favorite local TV-toting marching band, we were proud as hell to see them rock that crowd. Same goes for Space Capone. We missed their set at Bonnaroo because John Fogherty insisted on not only playing center field but also screwing up our whole damn schedule, but it was really nice to seem them make the people who like popular things move like Space Capone was a thing that was popular. And we mean “popular” as in “on TV” or “on the radio,” because we’re guessing that telling most folks in that audience that Space Capone bring a lot of people out to Mercy Lounge would be like reading baseball stats in Cantonese at a Polish wedding — let’s just say that all of our area malls were probably understaffed last night. For reals, if it had started raining before everyone tried to get inside, we would have been waist-deep in glitter and runny eyeliner. If there had been a fire, the whole city would have smelled like burnt sequins and day-glo half-shirts for weeks. If the club had been struck by lightning, all of the hoop earrings would have created a impromptu Tesla coil and generated enough electricity to open up a rift in the space-time continuum like something out of that movie My Science Project. Dinosaurs! Aliens! Abe Lincoln! And there were children! Everywhere! Not that The Spin wasn’t listening to sorta-explicit, sorta-raunchy pop music when we were a wee lil’ Spin-ling, but seriously: Why was there a six-year-old standing on the bar? It was like Coyote-Ugly-meets-To-Catch-a-Predator with midgets screaming, “Show me where your dick’s at!” Totally, absolutely bizarre. And awesome. Who doesn’t love kids saying inappropriate things in public? We definitely heard a tween get scolded for dropping an F-bomb, and we’re gonna go out on a limb and say that kid is going places. Y’know, like juvie. And she’ll probably end up at the free clinic once or twice before all is said and done. Welcome to the club, kid! Now, we’re not gonna lie: We know all the words to all of the songs on Ke$ha’s debut album Animal, and our expectations for her performance were really high. Again, we were just at Bonnaroo this weekend, and we had seen Eli “Paperboy” Reed wreck shop at Mercy on Tuesday, so anything less than a great performance just wasn’t gonna do it for us. Luckily, Ke$ha and her band know how to turn out the party. Of course that’s also way easier to do when you’ve had a No. 1 record and you’re playing for a hometown crowd who — based on our rather prodigious eavesdropping — are abso-fucking-lutely insane about you. There are not a lot of local acts that bring out such slavish devotion and utter adoration. Her set was basically a one-two punch barreling through most of the tracks on her album, lots of flashing lights and crowd participation. “Your Love Is My Drug” was particularly anthemic, but we’re still not sold on “Stephen” — it’s our least favorite track on the record. Still, there’s no denying that pretty much everyone else in the sweat lodge of a night club was belting it out at full blast. By the time she played “Tik Tok,” her monster of a monster hit from this past winter, we were delirious, sweaty and super-super-stoked. Maybe you don’t like that song. Maybe you’d be happier with your Wilco records. But give us a fist-pumping party banger any day of the week. And give us a Ke$ha show, too — against our better judgment and a serious desire to stay out of the heat and humidity for at least a week, we had one hell of a time, and can’t wait until she’s back again. But maybe next time they can do it at the Cannery, or somewhere there’s at least a little bit of air circulation. |

Kesha’s new song, ‘Take It Off,’ cements her status as one of the most electrifying dance artists today. With its thumping opening, electro-infused beat and furious crescendos, the dance single is all but guaranteed to be a staple at clubs everywhere this summer. And when Kesha talks about a “place I know,” where “they go hardcore and there’s glitter on the floor” in the style of a six-grade camp ditty, it’s hard for anyone to not feel the urge to just take it off. ‘Take It Off’ is the hyper-kinetic singer’s latest single off her smash hit album, ‘Animal,’ which was unleashed in January. Much like the rest of the album, this new song is simply made for the dance floor. And, much like Kesha herself, the track seems to embody relentless, carefree hedonism at its best. Tune into AOL Radio’s New Pop First station to hear Kesha’s new single. |
