Ke$ha at your fingertips.KESHAKesha Rose Sebert (born March 1, 1987), better known mononymously as Kesha (pronunciation: /ˈkɛʃə/ kesh-ə, stylized Ke$ha), is an American singer-songwriter and rapper. In 2005, at 18, Kesha was signed to Dr. Luke's record label, Kemosabe Entertainment, and publishing company. Although an active musician since then, singing background vocals and writing songs for other artists, her breakthrough only came in early 2009 after appearing on Flo Rida's number one single, "Right Round." Kesha's debut single "Tik Tok", released in late 2009, reached number one in 11 countries. Her debut album, Animal, was released in January 2010 and debuted at number one in the U.S., Canada and Greece. By September, Kesha had sold two million albums worldwide and released three more top ten singles from Animal. The album was re-released with a companion extended play, Cannibal, in November, preceded by the chart-topping lead single "We R Who We R".MUSICKesha co-wrote every song on her first two albums and considers herself a songwriter primarily, writing for artists including Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. She prefers to tailor songs specifically for the artist by getting into their frame of mind, instead of giving them songs about her own experiences. Having previously done country, pop-rock and hard electro, Ke$ha had a clear idea of the electropop sound that she wanted for her debut album. The genre was popular at the time, with many of her peers releasing similar output as well, leading to her being called unoriginal. Both of Kesha's albums are of the genre with catchy hooks and colorful productions, incorporating elements from other genres as well. Tracks such as "Party at a Rich Dude's House" and "C U Next Tuesday" have 1980s derived backing, and "Stephen" begins with "Kansas-style vocal harmonies". On "Sleazy", she enlisted urban producer Bangladesh to create a harder sound for her. Her voice was described by collaborator, musician Taio Cruz as being distinctive, with yodel-like ending flourishes. While her vocals on the albums were heavily processed with Auto-Tune, leading to questions on vocal talent, she expressed confidence in her abilities, explaining that the Auto-Tune was used for humorous effect. Ke$ha uses a talky rapping style on a number of songs, most notably on her debut single "Tik Tok". Even though the New York Times categorized Kesha as a rapper, she told Billboard that she never set out to rap and did not consider the style to be rapping at first. Most of her lyrics chronicle her relationships and partying and are not intended to be taken seriously. However, many critics took issue with these lyrics, criticizing them for being frivolous and crass.Kesha has spoken about the double standard for lyrics by female and male artists, in "Blah Blah Blah" and "Boots and Boys" she objectifies men to poke fun at how male artist can get away with objectifying women and not vice versa. Some Ke$ha songs also have more aspirational themes, such as "We R Who We R" and "Animal", which are intended to inspire people to embrace their individuality
