Normally, music like these trickle into my playlist long after people have raved. I guess in this case, it trickles in early. And surprising enough, I like it a lot.
Ke$ha’s album, Animal, embodies a rock n’roll lifestyle commonly stereotyped on the male gender. And for that, I actually admire her stepping out, and making the impression that even the ladies live that life. Erm. Well, at least she does. For the rest of us, that may not be the case. This is the exact music that I think parents, and churches would be rallying up against. Come on, with lyrics like “Can’t you smell the sex? Who you gonna get?” in VIP, to “wanna get my hands in your khaki pants” in Mr. Watson, you know this music ain’t for us conservative peeps.
But that risque lifestyle mixed well with good rhythm and beats are what gets it into my iTunes early. It’s so easy to get lost in her music and dance away. And possibly a bit of singing along somewhere. There’s no denying that despite the wild and colorful lifestyle her music, it’s catchy. And it’s fun. And that’s a party.
Music like these occupy a real small space in my playlist. Along with Gaga, and BEP. What gets her in is more than “her music’s catchy” part. It’s that she stands out, and she’s different. Along with the other “weird” tunes I love so much. I like different. I like artists that stand out and make a statement. And I like music that dares to straddle that fine line of love and hate with the masses. Let’s face it. To an extent some may find her music trashy. Ke$ha is my guilty pleasure. And I like her music exactly the way it is. Risque, trashy, loud, and different. That’s what art’s supposed to be.
I was instantly hooked to her single Tik Tok, and her 3OH3! collab in Blah Blah Blah. I also find her track Dinosaur absolutely hilarious. Hello DOM! It’s nasty, and it’s mean, but there is truth to it. Give it a listen if you haven’t yet, and you’ll know what I mean. Blind is a must-listen to as well. Hello, post-breakup music! No, seriously, it is a great post-breakup song. Very, very fierce. Underneath the dance-worthy beats of Dancing With Tears in my Eyes is such a sad sad words of apologies and regret. It reminds me of a certain rnb artist I can’t name right now. I forgot his name.
With all that said, Ke$ha is here to stay. In my iTunes. I rate it:

The name Yavie is taken off JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. It is short for Yavanna, meaning Queen of the Earth. Yavie is Henri's cybername...easier to read, spell, and pronounce compared to her real name "Henriette" which someone conveniently misporonounced as "Hen-rite", and "Herniet".
