Ke$Ha - Warrior - *** the HEADLINE Needs to Be Creative and Have by Rob Sheffield Rolling( Stone Magazine, Dec Ke$ha - Warrior - *** The HEADLINE needs to be creative and have By Rob Sheffield (Rolling Stone magazine, Dec. 4, 2012) your opinion. This doesn’t have one. Yours must. Ke$ha was born to be a rock star. She's a disco queen who dresses like Axl Rose and overdoses on personality like the New York Dolls. She rules pop radio with her megasleaze boombox beats, junk-shop rags and bleached-Sabbath hair. We all know glitter girls who dress like Ke$ha, talk like Ke$ha, party like INTRODUCTION - There are opinions Ke$ha and slap the world around like Ke$ha. But it's insanely here, but not about her album. Lots of rare to see one of these parking-lot queens roll with the big- background, with some writer’s ‘voice’ league pop stars. When she's on, Ke$ha can make everyone else on the charts seem like a church lady. (Lady K has stuck her dollar sign...), Over the past three years, Lady K has stuck her dollar sign on about Ke$ha’s colorful, musical past. a half-dozen or so of this century's most brilliant radio hits, all Great details here (megasleze boombox of them sounding more or less the same, and all of them endors- beats and junk shop rags) and clearly, ing the Ke$ha Philo$ophy of Life to the point where you bitterly the author did some great research. regret all the non-Ke$ha parts of your existence. From "Tik Tok" to "Blow" to "We R Who We R," she makes each of her hits into another installment of her cartoon glam-disco telenovela, an in- credibly broad and inclusive vision of pop trash. We owe her a lot. Ke$ha crafted Warrior as her rock manifesto. As she confesses REACTION - Ke$ha has crafted War- here, "I know I'm not perfect/I know I got issues/I know that I rior as her rock manifesto. “Crafted” and got a sordid past/And yeah, some bad tattoos." She claims "Last Goodbye" was inspired by Neil Young's deep cut "For the Turn- “manifesto” are positive words. Bottom stiles." And the single "Die Young," according to producer Benny line: The author likes this album. Blanco, is her version of "old hippie rock," which is bizarre given} that to the rest of us it sounds sorta exactly like Taio Cruz. DETAIL - Lots of rock history here. The Warrior doesn't hit the giddy peaks of 2010's Animal, but it author mentions several songs which has a crackpot sense of rock history. "Love Into the Light" bites parallel/sound like other rock songs, like the prog-soul of Phil Collins circa "In the Air Tonight." (Don't “Love Into the Light” which is like “In the worry – it only takes a minute to get to the drum solo.) "Only Air Tonight” Wanna Dance With You" is a hilariously mean (and accurate) parody of the Strokes.

This only happens for about a third of Warrior, so it's safe to Owen Wilson in Zoolander. to say the great Ke$ha sincerity crisis of 2012 has been narrowly averted for now. If you're in the mood to hear Ke$ha float across REVIEW NOTE - The author has used the universe, you might get a kick out of "Past Lives" – she a lot of lyrics “I know I’m not perfect/I know sounds like Owen Wilson in Zoolander tripping on acid with spi- der monkeys. But she should ditch the ballads, because she packs I got issues” and research in this review. more of her personality into crazy-horse dance-floor screamers You have to get specific in a review. like "C'Mon," "Thinking of You" and "Crazy Kids."

Even though “Gold Trans Am” minutes to write. No sensitive poetry here – just Def Leppard- probably took 10 minutes to write, it rocks. style rap metal that goes, "Wham bam, thank you, ma'am/Get in- side my ******* gold Trans Am." And she must have scored that CONCLUSION - Ke$ha is crude and guitar solo from the first guy to answer her Craigslist "Missed cheap but that’s what the author likes C.C. De-Ville Connections" ad. Ke$ha is hardly the first rock star to discover that her crudest, cheapest, cheesiest ideas are her about her and that’s what makes her a best. In fact, that's how you can tell she's a true rock & roll child. true rock & roll child. BOTTOM LINE - The author gives this three out of five stars. It’s more positive than negative, but it’s not a total fanfest. There is plenty of critical voice here, and LOTS of specific, opinionated details..

    Düdelingen, 1. Juni 2021 Pressemitteilung Ënnert dem Waassertuerm Vorstellung des Sommerprogramms 2021 Im vergangenen Sommer lud das Centre Culturel Régional Dudelange opderschmelz (CCRD) in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Centre National de l'Audiovisuel (CNA), der Ecole Régionale de Musique und der Stadt Düdelingen zu einem Open-Air-Event unterm Sternenhimmel ein. Die erste Ausgabe des Festivals Ënnert dem Waassertuerm entstand aus dem Wunsch heraus, dem Publikum die Möglichkeit zu geben, trotz der sanitären Krise und unter Einhaltung der geltenden Sicherheitsmaßnahmen eine echte Sommerfestivalsaison zu erleben. Nach dem Erfolg der letzten Ausgabe feiert Ënnert dem Wassertuerm 2021 seine Rückkehr mit einem noch reichhaltigeren und vielfältigeren Programm. Für einige Wochen verwandelt sich der Parkplatz des CCRD opderschmelz und des CNA in ein Open-Air-Festivalgelände und dies vor der Kulisse der ehemaligen Eisenhütte mit seinem imposanten Wasserturm, dem dieses neue Festival seinen Namen verdankt. Den Anfang macht am 17. Juni die unverzichtbare Fête de la Musique. Bei der 28. Ausgabe dieser traditionsreichen Veranstaltung werden Größen der französischen, deutschen, österreichischen und natürlich auch der luxemburgischen auftreten. Der Startschuss wird von Cali gegeben. Der Künstler wird sein neues Projekt Cavale vor und dabei von seiner ganzen Band begleitet. Die Fête de la Musique klingt aus mit einem mit einem Konzert von Fool's Garden. Die deutsche Band, die durch den Erfolg ihres berühmten Songs „Lemon Tree“ weltweit bekannt wurde, wird uns eine elektro-akustischen Session bieten. Wie bei der Fête de la Musique üblich, werden auf der Bühne auch aufstrebende und lokale Musiker auftreten. Mit dabei sind die deutsche Singer-Songwriterin LOTTE mit ihren Songs über die Suche nach dem Glück, der mitreißende Hip Hop von Mathea und der Österreicher Josh., der mit seinem Rock'n'Roll und seinen humorvollen Kompositionen sein Publikum begeistert.

Ben Folds produced the title track with Kesha, while Ricky Reed produced and wrote numerous tracks as well. Wrabel co-wrote a collaboration that features the Dap-Kings horn section. Eagles of Death Metal are featured on two tracks, while Parton guests on a version of her 1980 country chart-topper "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You." The track was co-written by Kesha's mother Pebe Sebert, who also has other songwriting credits on 'Rainbow'.
