Ke$ha: `My goal is to reinvent pop music`

The 24-year-old singer's next album was expected to be out by the end of the year, but producer Dr Luke recently confirmed that it will not be released until next May.

In an interview with the Calgary Herald, Ke$ha explained that she wants to make sure that the album is ground-breaking.

'I want to take enough time to make sure it's the reinvention of pop music,' she said. 'That's the ultimate goal, to reinvent pop music. So I'm planning on taking as much time as I need, but May sounds about right.'

And she admitted that she actually isn't a big fan of pop music. 'If you were to ask me what my favourite song is on pop radio is I can't really answer that because I don't really listen to it that much,' she said. 'The second I get offstage the first song that plays is Iggy Pop. I'm more versed in old school, more rock 'n' roll because that's what I like listening to.

'So I wouldn't be surprised if my next record does have more of an edge.'
