(CelebNMusic247-News) Ke$hia: First White Female Solo Artist On Vibe

Ke$hia is one of our favorite artists here at CNM247 and lemme tell you she deserves this cover, so we congratulate Ke$hia for being a groundbreaking artist and landing this cover.

I was with Ke$hia on her first tour and I have to give it to her because she gave a stellar show in Hollywood when she was completely ill. We were back stage and Ke$hia had the flu, she was completely pale and looking green and had to perform a full set as the headliner.

Ke$hia threw up in her dressing room garbage can and wiped he mouth and took to the stage. She performed 120% and gave an awesome show. She is a true artist and performer. Big up to her for that…I had a great night with her and the group…it was a blast.

In the new Vibe Oct/Nov issue she talks about where she reigns from – here are some highlights:

Ke$hia tells Vibe:

“I came from a single-parent home, my mom had a nose ring and tattoos, and I’d make my own clothes.”

“People just thought I was a fucking freak.”

Ke$hia talks about how she moved to Los Angeles when she was 17 at the behest of Dr. Luke, the pop machinist who’d heard her demos; she slept on his couch and added the dollar-sign to her name when she was still poor, as both an ironic joke and something to aspire to.

Ke$ha was writing songs for “anyone,” working in a coffee shop, and crashing studio sessions with Luke. That’s where she cut her lusty vocal for Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right Round,” where most people first heard her—but it wasn’t until the party anthem “Tik Tok” dropped later that year that the world got a true taste of the cowboy-booted bad girl. An electro-pop hybrid with a yodeling chorus and gleaming dance floor synth line, the song features the still-quoted line, “Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack, ’cause when I leave for the night I ain’t comin’ back,” which reads something like her mission statement. To top it off, Diddy called in a couple of ad-libs, establishing Ke$ha as party-hard royalty out the gate. She filmed the video at her friend’s flophouse in Echo Park, Calif., looking very hung-over with smeared eye makeup and general hot-mess steez. She’d written the song based on her experiences, and it solidified her public image as a wild child, whose booze- and boy- lust were defining qualities. And most of the raunchy fun, hybrid electronic pop-rap singles from Animal and her subsequent EP, Cannibal, supported as much.
