Revision as of 22:56, 11 December 2010


Untitled

Animal is the debut studio album by American pop singer Kesha. The album was released on January 1, 2010, by RCA Records. Kesha worked with a variety of producers and writers such as Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, David Gamson, Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, and others. Lyrically, the majority of the album's songs are based on Kesha's past life experiences of love, heartbreak, boys, and having a good time. Musically, Animal draws from the dance-pop genre, while incorporating elements of electro and electropop in its production and beats.

The album received mixed reviews from music critics. Some appreciated its fun, carefree nature, while others dismissed it as juvenile and said that it seemed insincere. The use of Auto-Tune on the album to alter Kesha's voice was called fun by some critics, while others found it irritating and said it made it difficult to tell if Kesha could actually sing. The album attained chart success, debuting at number one in Canada, the United States, and Greece, while charting within the top ten in seven other countries. Worldwide, the album has sold two million copies.

Four singles have been released from the album. Its lead single, "Tik Tok", was released on August 7, 2009 and was a worldwide hit, reaching number one in eleven countries. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed at the top for nine consecutive weeks. The album's second and third singles, "Blah Blah Blah" and "Your Love Is My Drug", achieved similar success both reaching the top ten in multiple countries. "Take It Off" was released as the album's fourth and final single. The song reached the top ten in three countries and the top twenty in five more.

Development

"The first is a gorgeously sung, self-penned country ballad that hints at what could've been had Kesha pursued a different path. The other is a gobsmackingly awful trip-hop track. But at one point toward the end, Kesha runs out of lyrics and starts rapping, for a full minute or so: 'I'm a white girl/From the 'Ville/Nashville, bitch. Uhh. Uhhhhh.' 'That's when I was like, OK, I like this girl's personality. When you're listening to 100 CDs, that kind of bravado and chutzpah stand out."[1]

—Billboard and Dr. Luke, on Kesha's demo and eventual signing

Kesha had been recording demos for several years, when one of her demos ended up in the hands of Samantha Cox, senior director of writer/publisher relations at BMI. Cox, who had worked with Kesha before, passed along the demos to a friend at BMI, who passed it to the manager of Lukasz Gottwald, known as Dr. Luke. At the age of eighteen, Kesha signed to Dr. Luke's label, Kemosabe Records, and his publishing company, Prescription Songs. Luke was busy with other projects at the time, and Kesha ultimately wound up signed to David Sonenberg's management company, DAS. While at DAS she worked with several top writers and producers, but rarely worked with or even spoke to Luke. During a co-writing session with Greg Wellsat DAS, Kesha developed her beat-driven sound.[1] DAS searched for a label deal for Kesha despite her still being in a signed contract with Luke. Kara DioGuardi, an artists and repertoire (A&R) representative for Warner, was also interested in signing Kesha but the deal never went through because of the outstanding contract with Luke. Shortly after, Kesha and DAS parted ways and Kesha wound up reunited with Luke.[1] At the end of 2008, Luke was working on a track with Flo-Rida called "Right Round", and the two decided they needed a female hook. Luke decided to have Kesha perform on the song and within two months, it was a number one hit in multiple countries around the world. The event led to Kesha being sought after by many major labels,[1] and she eventually signed a multi-album deal with RCA Records.[2] Kesha explained that she chose to sign with the company due to how well she got along with RCA A&R executive Rani Hancock, explaining that "Rani doesn't ever try to censor me, [...] and I like being surrounded by strong, intelligent women."[1]

Background and inspiration

"Animal, the name of the record, it's kind of my steez [style], I have to say. I named it that because I want people to lose it when they listen to my record and go to the animal part of themselves that they suppress. Society has taught us to suppress certain things and not do certain things."[3]

—Kesha, on the inspiration on the album title

Kesha had been working on Animal for seven years prior to its release, and had written over 200 songs for the album.[4] The abundance of material extended it from its originally planned twelve tracks to fourteen.[4] Kesha felt that the album had an empowering, carefree message for young women. "For girls, I think it's an empowering record, it's funny, it's cheeky," she said. "I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing—makeup, their clothes, music, live shows—anything you don't need to take too seriously, don't take too seriously."[4] When asked how the album related to her life, Kesha explained that the album was completely autobiographical. "I just write about what I live—literally, [...] I think there's a great pop song in anything and everything, any situation."[3] She cites her songs "Stephen" and "Dinosaur" as examples of this. She explained: "it's about this guy I've been stalking since I was 15. I wrote the song when I was 16 with my mom, and I was like, "This song's so dope, I know it is". "Dinosaur" came "about [when] this old guy who was hitting on me, and his toupee was kind of falling off, and I was like, "Oh my God, you're so old, you're prehistoric, you're like a dinosaur. D-I-N-O-S-A-you are a dinosaur."[3] Explaining the reasoning behind the title track being placed at the end of the album's tracklist, Kesha said:

"I believe, sonically, the next record might be going. Me and my brother had a silly punk band before, and I loved pop music and I liked catchy music, but I think I also am possessed to be what some critics might deem as silly pop music. I think I have more shit to offer, so I think that "Animal" is a nice segue into the next record, hopefully."[3]

Composition

"Boots and Boys"
"Boots & Boys" is a "lusty" song reminiscent of INXS's "Suicide Blonde".
"Party at a Rich Dudes House"
"Party at a Rich Dude's House" is reminiscent of music from the 1980s.

Musically, Animal is of the dance-pop genre, while incorporating elements of electro and electropop in its production and beats.[5] Some of its songs are reminiscent of music from the 1980s, such as "Party at a Rich Dude's House", which Allmusic reviewer David Jeffries noted could have appeared on the soundtrack to the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.[5] Animal uses Auto-Tune and vocoders to alter Kesha's voice, and includes samples.[5]

Jeffries noted that the album lyrically revolves around avoiding reality with a preference for a "garbage chic" life, with lyrics such as "Maybe I need some rehab, or maybe just need some sleep" from the opening song "Your Love Is My Drug".[5] "Tik Tok" was written about Kesha waking up in her house in Laurel Canyon, surrounded by several of her attractive female friends. She compared the experience to feeling like rapper Diddy,[6] who contributed two lines to the song.[7] The song "Kiss n Tell" was written about Kesha's discovery that her boyfriend was cheating on her with a female pop singer.[8]

"Party at a Rich Dude's House" was written about an incident where Kesha vomited in Paris Hilton's closet during a party at Hilton's home,[8] while "Backstabber," according to Kesha, was written about "some dumb [girl who] fronted like she was my friend but then secretly tried to bring me down."[8] "Boots & Boys" is a "lusty" song reminiscent of INXS's "Suicide Blonde", but from a female point of view.[5] Jeffries concluded that, overall, Animal portrays Kesha as "a gum-snapping, alcohol-abusing Facebook jockey straight out of the suburbs who spits sophomoric but fun putdowns, come-ons, and sig files all over electro beats".[5] Daniel Brockman from The Phoenix described "Take It Off" as "a heavily Auto-Tuned reworking" of "There's a Place in France".[9]

Animal received mixed reviews from music critics upon its release. The album holds a score 54 out of 100 based on 18 critical reviews, according to the music review aggregator Metacritic.[18] Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times stated that Kesha was "offer[ing] a thoroughly fleshed-out character to embrace or despise," comparing her persona to "classic screwball blond[s]" such as Jean Harlow and Mae West, while praising her and Dr. Luke for "refashion[ing] the screwball heroine role to suit a new era of aggressive superficiality and libertine self-empowerment". Her conclusion about Kesha and the album was that "[h]er total commitment to the deliberately stupid script Animal provides makes [the album] work."[14] Ailbhe Malone of NME gave Animal a mixed review but concluded that "[b]eneath the patina of skeezy Freshers'-Week-LOLZ lyrics ('got a water-bottle full of whiskey in my handbag')" it seems there "lies a talent." [16] Andrew Burgess of musicOMH was impressed with Kesha, calling her an "auto-tuned talk-singing, gum-smacker" that may well be "a pop-genius, a gutter-glam Jonathan Swift." He described the album as "an infectiously good dance-pop album."[15] Daniel Brockman of The Phoenix thought that the album was "a clear subversion of pop norms" with "effortless hooks".[9]

Monica Herrera of Billboard commented that the prevalent use of Auto-Tune on Kesha's vocals made it difficult to tell if she could actually sing, citing the song "Take It Off" as an example of "how easily individuality can get lost in a sea of Auto-Tune". On the other hand, Herrera was impressed with the "choruses that stick with the listener for days."[10] David Jeffries of Allmusic was not impressed with the album's ballads, calling them "completely unsatisfying." However, he noted "that with so many fun, 'Tik Tok'-type tracks, the album has plenty for both brats and the bratty at heart."[5] James Reed of The Boston Globe believed that Kesha's "personality is completely missing from [the songs]," resulting in her sounding "vapid and faceless."[11] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine was extremely critical of the album and Kesha, saying that her attempts to sing and rap were "pitiful", describing her as "insincere" and "souless".[17] Dave Simpson of The Guardian also questioned the honesty of her lyrics while comparing her unfavorably to Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Britney Spears.[13]

The first was on February 18, 2010, on Alan Carr: Chatty Man.[45] It was followed by a performance on breakfast television show GMTV, on February 19.[46] The song was also performed live on American Idol on March 17, 2010.[47] She wore her trademark glitter eye make-up and bounced throughout the stage while her backup dancers were dressed as human TV sets showing intermittent images of the American flag, owls, and skulls. The performance was accompanied by 3OH!3.[48]

Kesha performed "Your Love Is My Drug" and "Tik Tok" on Saturday Night Live on April 17, 2010.[49] On May 29, 2010, Kesha performed "Your Love Is My Drug" alongside her previous single "Tik Tok" at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan.[50] She performed a set for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend.[51] On August 13, 2010 Kesha performed "Take It Off" alongside earlier singles "Your Love Is My Drug" and "Tik Tok" on NBC's [[Today.[52] In the performance she was seen wearing boots, fishnets, glitter shorts and a loose tank top. By the second verse, her dancers -- dressed head to toe in black -- started to appropriately undress to the music as the chorus starts revealing gold shirts and tank-tops. The performance featured smoke machines with Kesha playing notes on an electric keyboard while crawling on the floor.[53]

Animal + Cannibal

Main article: Cannibal (EP)

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 stand alone EP. The EP has been classified as a follow up "nine-song companion" record to Animal.[59][60] Cannibal was originally intended to contain anywhere between four to eight tracks with the final outcome instead consisting of eights tracks, and one previously heard song remixed, for a total of nine tracks.[59]
