Ke$ha

Not long ago, frat-boy antics were for, well, boys. But 22-year-old Ke$ha, the electro-upstart behind the hit ”˜TiK ToK,’ is here to let the world know that loutish drunkenness and sexual harassment aren’t just for fellas anymore. On her debut, she calls herself a pimp, brags about a ”˜Party at a Rich Dude’s House’ and tells one hapless love toy, “Don’t be a little bitch with your chit-chat/Just show me where your dick’s at.” It’s repulsive, obnoxious and ridiculously catchy ”“ thanks to songwriter-producers Dr Luke and Max Martin, who envelop Ke$ha’s bratty raps in percolating beats and buzzing bass lines. Fear for the future of civilisation, and dance.

Key Tracks: ‘Tik Tok’, ‘Your Love Is My Drug’
