| Ke$ha wants you to "take it off" |
If you were lucky to run into a certain unclothed picture of Ke$ha last week, then the title of her next single is quite ironic.
But all jokes aside, "Take It Off", the fourth single from the pop star's Animal, is probably my favorite song she's released so far. Sure, the vocals are processed within an inch of it's life, the lyrics are as deep as a puddle, and it doesn't really lend to Ke$ha's proclamation of her being taken seriously as an artist. However, it would just be lame of me not to admit that this song is fun, sexy, catchy, and clever. I mean, using a nursery rhyme as a chorus sample was definitely unexpected. Also, there are times when the AutoTune works in adding to the song's dirty atmosphere. It sounds like this song, produced by Dr. Luke, was born in a gritty underground rave party in Amsterdam. Not that it's a bad thing.
Ke$ha's desire for respect as a serious artist is considerably ridiculous when you consider her easy-won party girl image, but there is denying she is pumping out some irresistible dancefloor smashes. And with this song already climbing up the charts, it looks like the pop world will be eating up more Ke$ha for the foreseeable future.
It's a nice halfway point.
