Kesha - “Boy Crazy” + . (Jul 4)

[spaceship]

I also feel like it can do quite well on UK radio especially in the summer. It’s such an intriguing campaign to follow because everything is just uncharted territory. A classic pop star going independent and trying to revive her mainstream career.

Give me pre order links to your album and tour, I will be buying!!!

 

[LeBratt]

Yeah, this song is ridiculously catchy and so fun to listen to. She truly is mother and queen of trashy dance-pop bops. I’m having it on repeat and I can’t get the hooks out of my head.

 

[Up Down Suite]

That stan twitter montage is tattooed on my brain.

 

[Passion]

Get out a clean version tomorrow, Kesh!

 

[Nadine Is My BFF]

I really liked Joyride at first but now I cannot stop listening. One of the best songs this year.

 

[VicePresidentJocasta]

Nearing 1M updates (850k yesterday) with very low playlist reach and no label. She's taking it.

I really hope this leads to some better playlisting and a bit of a push. Even just getting it on a bunch of big pop playlists in the US & UK could give it a nice push.

I wonder if US pop radio would get onboard with a Kesha track? A little radio interview tour certainly couldn't hurt.

Has there been any info about the video?

 

[mindtrappa]

I don’t know if we’re getting a video for this. It seems more like a buzz track.

 

[Joe.]

I’m sure if it continues to rise, she’ll film a video for sure

 

[GimmeWork]

oh god! why I heard this?! I was already hyped for the álbum based on 'Joyride' but this led me to another level.

Ok, but if this was a scrap, I need it to leak in full, stat! Think it's called "If I Was U" but I can't seem to find it in any of the usual pirate places.... so I hope it actually makes the album or leaks eventually because I don't remember the last time a 30 sec clip left me this bald.

She's such a star.

 

[blaze_dave]

She's such a star.

Stunning.

 

[Up Down Suite]

It seems more like a buzz track.

Invented buzz singles with actual buzz!

 

[Hyrulian]

Can someone give a run down of her current standing as an artist (independent / distributor / etc)? I'm actually kind of surprised she isn't on any kind of label. Has she discussed her independence or if she'd be willing to re-sign to another label at some point?

 

[mindtrappa]

I don't think she's said anything yet, but I imagine that she'd want to remain fully independent after being stuck in the major label system for the last 15 years. Could see a distributor being involved down the line since her publishing is apparently now with Warner, but I see her retaining as much independence and control as she can in the future.

 

[spaceship]

Yeah, She's completely independent with no major distribution deal. In her TED talk (that I posted above) she talked about how it's the first time in 20 years that she owned her voice, so I don't think she's interested in the classic label system anymore.

 

[mindtrappa]

She's such a star.

Finally watching, and this was a great moment for her. "Cathedral" also sounds incredible. She sounds amazing.

 

[spaceship]

We won

 

[huntypoo]

Cathedral sounds impeccable. Also her live voice, my god?
