Ke$ha prepares to release debut album

You may think you know Ke$ha — her debut single "TiK ToK" has been blowing up the charts and airwaves for the past few weeks, it's an international smash, hitting the iTunes Top 10 in 12 countries, and that's her on Flo Rida's No. 1 smash "Right Round" — but you have no f*&$king idea until you hear Animal — the sassy pop chameleon's debut full-length album, which will be released by Kemosabe Entertainment / Columbia Records in the UK on January 11, 2010.

Ke$ha, who co-wrote every track on the album, describes Animal as "electro pop magic," and indeed the album is an edgy collection of hard-hitting electro-pop songs, made all the more irresistible by their high-octane punk energy and Ke$ha's frank lyrics and irreverent attitude.

"I want my music to be fun, unapologetic, rowdy, quirky, humorous, and interesting," she says, "but with substance behind it. I'm an emotional person underneath all my fronting. I want people to listen to it and feel like they can relate."

Ke$ha will return early next year with her glitter cannon in tow, ready to unleash Animal on the UK. Watch this space for details.
