Ke$ha Wanted to "Wail" on New Album

KeshasParty.comKe$ha cares very much about what critics will think of her next album.

She is currently working on the follow-up to her 2010 releases Animal and Cannibal.  She tells Rolling Stone that some of her new songs are "more personal and vulnerable" than her past work.

Normally, Ke$ha says, she doesn't care what people think about her.  But, she continues, "I give many f***s about this album.  Some people weren't sure if I could sing.  On this record, I said, 'Let's leave the tricks to a minimum and let me wail.'"

Rolling Stone previewed 17 incomplete songs up for consideration for the album, described by the magazine as "stomping, ultra­catchy dance tracks."  Iggy Pop, Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney and the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne may be featured on the album.

A potential Iggy Pop appearance would make sense, since Ke$ha has said her album will be influenced by 1970s rock.  She tells Rolling Stone she's been listening to a lot of music by Iggy Pop and '70s British group T. Rex lately.
