Untitled

Cannibal is the upcoming first extended play (EP) by American recording artist Kesha, set to be released on November 22, 2010. The EP is a follow up companion to her previous record, Animal. Originally the record was set to only be released as a deluxe edition of Animal, but was instead sold and released as both an EP and a deluxe edition of Animal. Kesha worked with a variety of producers and writers such as Dr. Luke as the executive producer, Benny Blanco, Ammo, Max Martin, Bangladesh and others.

Background and inspiration

"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime,[...] My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me"[1]

— Kesha explaining the title of the record and re-release

Originally planned to only be a re-release of Animal, Cannibal was instead released both as a deluxe edition of Animal as well as a standalone extended play (EP). The EP has been classified as a follow up "nine-song companion" record to Animal.[1][2] Cannibal was originally intended to contain anywhere between four to eight tracks with the final outcome instead consisting of eight tracks, and a remix of her debut album's title track, for a total of nine tracks.[1][3]

Recording of the album took place during September, 2010, at Conway Studios with Dr. Luke again as the executive producer. Like her debut album, Kesha worked with similar producers and writers such as; Dr. Luke, Ammo, Benny Blanco and Max Martin.[4] Unlike her debut album though, Kesha enlisted the help of producer Bangladesh. She explained the reasoning for enlisting his help was that she wanted to "add a tougher edge to her music".[2] Kesha recorded the abundance of Cannibal over a two week span with a variety of producers.[3] She said that the message she wanted to put out through this album was to create "good, positive, [danceable] music". She elaborated, "I feel like I’m creating this hopefully very youthful and irreverent movement of the kids, of like adolescence. I feel like the parents don’t get it, but the kids get it. And they deserve to have more good, positive music.”[3]

Single

"We R Who We R" is set to be released as the album's lead single on October 25, 2010.[1][5] It was premiered on Kesha's YouTube account on October 14 2010.
