Kesha Accused Dr Luke of 'Raping Katy Perry' in Series of Text Kesha accused Dr Luke of ‘raping Katy Perry’ in series of text messages to Lady Gaga Rebecca Lewis Wednesday 13 Jun 2018 9:22 pm Kesha accuses Luke of raping Katy (Picture: Getty) New court documents have revealed that Kesha has accused Dr Luke of ‘raping’ Katy Perry in a series of text messages to Lady Gaga. Luke has denied the claims. The documents in the ongoing case between Kesha and Dr Luke were filed in New York as part of the on-going legal battle between the music producer, real name Lukas Gottwald, and the singer. Obtained by The Blast, the documents – filed by Luke’s team – read: ‘On February 26, 2016 [Kesha] sent a text message to Stefani Germanotta p/k/a/ Lady Gaga which repeated [Kesha’s] false claim that [Luke] had raped her.’ ‘[Kesha] also falsely asserted that [Luke] had also raped Kathryn Hudson p/k/a/ Katy Perry.’ and that, ‘following this text message conversation, and with [Kesha’s] encouragement, [Lady Gaga] spread negative messages about [Luke] in the press and on social media’. Lukasz Gottwald (L), better known as Dr. Luke, and Kesha (R) in 2011 (Picture: Reuters) Perry has been deposed in the case and gave a written statement but her comments have not been revealed. Perry has never publicly accused Dr. Luke of any sexual misconduct. She previously admitted she had chosen to no longer work with him, simply using the phrase: ‘I had to leave the nest’. Katy Perry (Picture: Rex) Kesha dropped all sexual assault claims in her lawsuit against Dr Luke in August 2016 after years of controversy and legal battles. The We R Who We R singer has withdrawn the claims of rape and assault with her case focusing on ‘professional grievances’. She has also submitted over 28 songs to her label Sony in order to fulfill its requirements, as she is being sued by Dr Luke for breach of contract at Kemosabe Records. Dr Luke has now filed a lawsuit against Kesha for $50million over claims of loss of earnings from sexual assault allegations; the producer is claiming he lost out on lucrative deals following Kesha’s accusations of sexual assault, including one which would have seen him work with Perry. He is suing for defamation and loss of earnings, and has reportedly calculated that they amass to $50million (£37,665,250) as he alleges artists have backed out of deals following the allegations. Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Perry, Luke, and Gaga. https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/13/kesha-accused-dr-luke-raping-katy-perry-series-text-messages- lady-gaga-7629242/ .

  • TREE of CLUES: a Packet for Popheads
    TREE OF CLUES: a packet for popheads Written by Kevin Kodama 1. In one song by this artist, a background clicking noise slows down as she sings “I found another way / To caress my day”. One of this artist’s videos is a single shot of her as both a giant goddess and tiny dancers that slowly zooms out. A track by this artist that she described as “a medieval march through the destruction of a relationship” laments “I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down”. This artist asks “Why don’t I do it for you” in a video that showcases her pole-dancing skills, and she explained a part of her name as “a selection of letters that sounded... masculine and strong”. For ten points, name this artist who released “Cellophane” for her 2019 album MAGDALENE. ​ ​ ANSWER: FKA twigs (accept Taliah Debrett Barnett) ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. This song’s heavily ad-libbed bridge includes the James Brown-inspired lyric “Good God! I can’t help it!”. In the music video for this song, the artist crawls on the ground sporting white polka dotted lipstick. This song begins with a series of tongue clicking and a breathy “yeah” along with some funky guitars. The video for this song uses pink, purple, and blue lighting in a scene where the artist runs between a male flirt and Tessa Thompson. This song’s artist describes herself as “an emotional sexual bender”, which is a nod to her pansexuality. For ten points, name this top r/popheads track of 2018, a Janelle Monae song that was the lead single for the album Dirty Computer.

  • Movie Review: Katy Perry: Part of Me
    Movie Review: Katy Perry: Part of Me By John Mulderig Catholic News Service NEW YORK – An interesting sociological study could be made that less than a decade separated the Billboard chart appearances of the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and the Raspberries’ “Go All the Way.” Fast forward to 2008 and the campily costumed central figure of the concert film “Katy Perry: Part of Me” (Paramount) was having a breakthrough hit with a ditty called “I Kissed a Girl.” Sensing a trend? Suggestive and even blatantly sexual lyrics are nothing new in pop music of course. The issue here is the youthful following Perry attracts: On screen at least, her fans seem to range from toddlers on up, but with a heavy concentration in the pre- and early teens. Yet the sight of Perry imploring an imaginary young man of her fancy to “Show Me Your Peacock” is one that parents will almost certainly find unsuitable for their kids. Add to that a strongly reinforced message promoting individualism without limit – and at least implying acceptance of a gay lifestyle – and it would seem imperative to mark these mildly entertaining but overlong proceedings, helmed by Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz, as off limits to the target demographic. None of which is to deny that the Perry who emerges in this profile has her moral strong points. Her generous interaction with her star-struck admirers reaches a poignant climax when she fulfills the titular mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation for one ailing but delightedly dazzled boy. We also see her making apparently extraordinary – though, sadly, unsuccessful – efforts to salvage her short-lived marriage to British comedian and actor Russell Brand.

  • The Voice As Trauma Recovery: Vocal Timbre in Kesha's “Praying” I
    The Voice as Trauma Recovery: Vocal Timbre in Kesha’s “Praying” I vividly remember the first time I heard the stunning, emotional power ballad that is “Praying.” Like many of us, I assumed Ke$ha—previously stylized with a dollar sign— only performed auto-tuned party anthems like “Tik Tok.” In 2017, Kesha, sans dollar sign, shocked listeners with her first single in 5 years—and her first ballad ever—“Praying.” In it, she reacts to the abuse she suffered from her former producer, Dr. Luke. In my presentation today, I will show how Kesha utilizes various registers, laryngeal positions, timbral effects, and places within the track’s sonic environment to portray symptoms of trauma and recovery—including improving thought patterns, an increasing ability to connect with others, and a growing sense of emotional strength and control. [s] In October 2014, after rehabilitation surrounding her abuse, Kesha sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery, sexual and civil harassment, gender violence…and intentional infliction of emotional distress.1 She also sued multiple companies founded by Dr. Luke for negligence, including Kemosabe Records. The body of the lawsuit explains: [s] “For the past ten years, Dr. Luke has sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused Ms. Sebert to the point where Ms. Sebert nearly lost her life.” 2 [s] Kesha filed a court injunction in attempts to record elsewhere, but it was denied in February 2015.3 [s] Lacking evidence, Kesha’s lawsuits ended in Dr. Luke’s favor, making her bound to her six album contract with Kemosabe Records. Though devastated, she continued to make music, releasing the album Rainbow in August 2017, saying: [s] 1 Kesha Rose Sebert v.

  • MTO 23.2: Lafrance, Finding Love in Hopeless Places
    Finding Love in Hopeless Places: Complex Relationality and Impossible Heterosexuality in Popular Music Videos by Pink and Rihanna Marc Lafrance and Lori Burns KEYWORDS: Pink, Rihanna, music video, popular music, cross-domain analysis, relationality, heterosexuality, liquid love ABSTRACT: This paper presents an interpretive approach to music video analysis that engages with critical scholarship in the areas of popular music studies, gender studies and cultural studies. Two key examples—Pink’s pop video “Try” and Rihanna’s electropop video “We Found Love”—allow us to examine representations of complex human relationality and the paradoxical challenges of heterosexuality in late modernity. We explore Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of “liquid love” in connection with the selected videos. A model for the analysis of lyrics, music, and images according to cross-domain parameters ( thematic, spatial & temporal, relational, and gestural ) facilitates the interpretation of the expressive content we consider. Our model has the potential to be applied to musical texts from the full range of musical genres and to shed light on a variety of social and cultural contexts at both the micro and macro levels. Received December 2016 Volume 23, Number 2, June 2017 Copyright © 2017 Society for Music Theory [1.1] This paper presents and applies an analytic model for interpreting representations of gender, sexuality, and relationality in the words, music, and images of popular music videos. To illustrate the relevance of our approach, we have selected two songs by mainstream female artists who offer compelling reflections on the nature of heterosexual love and the challenges it poses for both men and women.
