At first I will admit I was slightly skeptical about the girl who wakes up in the mornin' then brushes her teeth with a bottle of Jack. But like with most artists I gave the girl a listen and a completely fair chance. I usually am not into music that always appear on the top ten of iTunes unless it is something such as Lady Gaga, but I was extremely surprised by Ke$ha in many ways.
I have no idea if her whole image is fictional or not but either way it works. Even her name is one that is unforgettable because of the dollar sign replacing the S. Call it cheesy but it's memorable.
Yesterday I remembered that the girls Album, "Animal" dropped that day and decided to check out the price on iTunes. Since I had already purchased Tik Tok two weeks before I got the other 13 tracks for a little over five dollars. I was actually pretty floored by this because from someone who is dominating the charts and radio why would the album sell for so little? Nevertheless I consider it a blessing and was happy to download it. She is going to sell enough anyway that the low price will make up for it.
All I had to do was listen to the 30 second clip of the first song to know the album was going to become a favorite of mine for 2010.
1. Your Love is My Drug-5/5 it's catchy and adorable with a fantastic beat. By far my favorite.
2. Take It Off-4/5 definite club music. The beat can get a crowd going and I already see it on the Jersey Shore.
3. Kiss n' Tell-4/5 The always wonderful 'man-skank' song. Girl power ftw.
4. Stephen-3/5 The vocals in the beginning surprise me. Not my favorite but the whole concept makes me laugh.
5. Blah Blah Blah (feat. 3OH!3)- 4/5 like 3OH!3 or not you should probably prepare for this one to be on the radio.
6. Hungover- 3/5 Oh Ke$ha. You should know that all that excessive drinking leads to hangovers...oh it's a LOVE hangover. Original.
7. Party at a Rich Dude's House- 3/5 no that's seriously the name of the song. Not much oo it but it has a good beat. The music video would be entertaining.
8. Backstabber-2/5 It's kind of a filler in the album.
9. Blind-4/5 Another one of my favorites. It compliments her style and voice.
10. Dinosaur-4/5 Kind of 80's. Kind of ridiculous. All funny.
11. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes- 5/5 Makes me want to get to know the girl and hear the backstory to it like a few of her other songs.
12. Boots & Boys-3/5 it's a kind of dance-alone-in-your-room-pretending-your-oh-so-hot-song.
13. Animal-3/5 Little dissapointing considering the album is named Animal. So not as catchy as I assumed it would be but I still like it.
14. Tik Tok-5/5 Self explanitory. It's a hit.
