Soundtrack Of The Day [Freshness Edition]: "Get Sleazy 2.0 (Get Sleazier)" - Ke$ha ft Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000, T.I. & Lil Wayne

Ke$ha is working on her sophomore full length album but since releasing her debut Animal she's popped out an EP and a remix disc. "Sleazy" was one of the highlights of the Cannibal EP and "The Sleazy Remix" (which featured Andre 3000) was a highlight of I Am The Dance Commander... And I Command You To Dance. So when another rap remix of "Sleazy" released I was a little sleazed out. But this video, which features drag queens, old men and Pedro (of Vote For Pedro fame) lipsyncing for their lives to the ratatat rapping over the dumdum drums I found a new appreciation for the long game of the sleaziest lady we know. Get sleazy, miss lady. Get sleazy.

Ke$ha + Andre 3000 + A Beat So Fat Gonna Make Me Come... Over To Your Place = Rediculously Awesome

K-Dolla's latest EP Cannibal is pretty much an extension of her trashy debut. But possible second single "Sleazy" has a really hard beat and finds Ke$ha rapping. It's fine as-is, but once you add Andre 3000's verse it's really hardcore hotness. Listen:

The Deep Cuts! New Singles (Old Music) From Kelly, Lady Gaga and Ke$ha

Lady Gaga released The Fame Monster late last year. Ke$ha released her debut, Animal, in January. And Kelly Clarkson is still working off a year-old disc, All I Ever Wanted. But all three have resulted in multiple hit singles, and now all three of my favorite girls are releasing new singles from these albums.

What is so exciting? If you own these three albums, it's nothing new to you. I know the music isn't that thrilling. The new single covers are always fun to check out, but these aren't anything too exciting:After Kelly's fabulous cover for "My Life Would Suck Without You" it's especially disappointing to see a generic single placard on iTunes. And Lady Gaga and Ke$ha look like they just used outtakes from the album photo shoots.

But this is the exciting part about these tracks from old album getting to be radio singles. I love all three of these songs! "All I Ever Wanted" was a Summer Jam '09 contender and with it's funky grooves it may be a Summer Jam Twenty-Ten. Ke$ha's "Your Love Is My Drug" is the album opener that really introduces us to the party queen. And every song from The Fame Monster is awesome, but "Alejandro" sounds like Madonna and the dudes from Ace Of Base had a baby and let Shakira babysit it. In a word: CrazyGood.

And Lawd knows we need need good music on the radio right now! Let's hope these three chicas get heavy airplay.

Review: Ke$ha - "Animal"


If Lady Gaga had stayed the party girl with a wicked sense of avaunt guard fashion we thought she was when "Just Dance" was on repeat across the clubs of the USA and Europe, she may have been Ke$ha. The daughter of a punk-rock-singer-turned-country-music-writer was partying with the likes of Paris Hilton when she hooked up with songwriter/producer/pop music kingmakers Dr. Luke and Max Martin.

A massive blend of party jams and slow jams, all of which takes place at a party or bar or party at a bar, Animal is the anti-AA. It's rather clever, not just this mix of emo pop and techno that suggests the love child of Britney and Katy Perry, but the way every song weaves together a perfect story of who Ke$ha is. From the heartbroken party girl on "Hungover" to the still-drunk-the-next-morning party girl of "Party At A Rich Dude's House" to the geezer-rebuffing party girl of "D.I.N.O.S.A.U.R" we get the picture - girlfriend loves her Jack Daniels and parry music but also has emotions and heart underneath it all. Whether she's drunk texting on "Take It Off" or hitting on some other chick's boyf on "Stephen" or hot mess on the dancefloor in "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" we understand she is not just a slutty ho, she's a slutty ho with feelings.

Is Ke$ha the next Britney, or the next Dee-Lite? Only time will tell.
