Song of the Week - Die Young

Does this really surprise anybody? I mean really?


Do any of you know how long I've been waiting for this day? I have been wanting to blog about Ke$ha so bad since I started this site, but she has been mostly dormant for the past two years or so. Sure, she has released some demos, but I wanted something solid. I managed to hold out long enough, it seems, because her lead in single off her new album "Warrior" (Due in December!) has arrived. And it is amazing. No hate.

Ke$ha has an amazing ability to make party tracks over and over, but every time from a different perspective  Instead of always being about getting drunk and dancing, she puts other spins on it, such as this song where she is talking about being at a party with a taken guy, and wanting that one night of perfection before they return to the real world. The song features her signature speak-singing, which is so nice to return to after all this time. It also features her singing, which sounds much more natural than on her first album, meaning she either has better production on this album, or has become far more comfortable with her voice.

Either way, the real queen of pop music is back. We can finally stop talking about Gaga. Thank you, Jesus.

Preview and buy the track on iTunes. She needs another number one track, right?
