Product Description This is the deluxe edition of Ke$ha's second album Warrior. Executively produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut it also features songwriting from fun. and The Flaming Lips as well as guest vocals from Iggy Pop. Review Back in 2009, when she released her debut single TiK ToK, Ke$ha presented herself as wilfully trashy. Here was a pop singer who'd inserted a dollar sign into her stage name and sang about brushing her teeth with a bottle of whiskey.However, her debut album Animal turned out to be against-the-odds enjoyable. It matched hooks with humour, and made the most of pop's new obsession with heavily Auto-Tuned vocals. Ke$ha may have been silly, but she wasn't stupid.Even so, it's perhaps surprising that she's showing signs of artistic growth. Like her debut, Warrior is a collection of shamelessly commercial electro-pop, but on several songs, Ke$ha works in her love of 1970s rock. Lead single Die Young begins with the sound of an acoustic guitar, while Thinking of You mixes punky riffs with her usual synths. She even drafts in Iggy Pop for a ridiculous duet called Dirty Love.It's one of several welcome surprises on the album. Love Into the Light is a smoky 1980s-style slowie with drum sounds perfect for the Cadbury's gorilla. Only Wanna Dance With You sounds like Ke$ha covering a Strokes single, and even features two members of the New York indie band – for a supposedly low-rent pop singer, Ke$ha has a lot of trendy mates. Meanwhile, Wonderland is a country-tinged ballad which proves she can sing without Auto-Tune.Perhaps inevitably, several tracks feature the dreaded dubstep breakdown, surely 2012's most overused trend. And more troublingly, one or two songs sound very similar to recent hits by Katy Perry, with whom Ke$ha shares a producer (Dr Luke). But taken as a whole, this is another surprisingly enjoyable album from a pop singer who has managed to broaden her approach without losing her USP.In fact, Ke$ha's trademark trashiness is still disturbingly infectious. It's hard not to smile when she sings about getting it on with a ghost, or rhymes "sabre-toothed tiger" with "warm Budweiser". However, even Iggy Pop has no answer to Ke$ha's strangest come-on from their flirty duet: "Champagne tastes like p*** to me." --Nick LevineFind more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window

Incredible.
An absolutely fantastic album presented in a gorgeous double LP set.The quality is amazing and the artwork stunning.Definitely worth picking up for all fans of Kesha and good pop music in general. An absolute bargain at the current price as not only do you get the full album but also bonus tracks.

Ke$ha promised rock n' roll,
And she certainly kept to that!The album begins with some simple, but effective pop songs such as Warrior. By number five, Kesha moves into rock, with the super catchy Crazy Kids. The other songs are a mixture of pop and rock - in an almost alternating fashion.One of the album's strengths is Kesha's hilarious, cheeky and well written one-liners. She contributed to every song and so did her mother, Pebe. Another strength is the variety; this album has something for everyone. From club-bangers, to dance tracks and to rock...this has enough to entertain old fans, attract new ones and strengthen her already almighty Animals!The deluxe edition is a MUST buy, as some of the quirkier songs are on the second disk and, they add to the variety.Overall, my favourite songs are:-Crazy Kids - calm, fast moving rock music with plenty of whistling in all the right places. Unforgettable from the get go!-Wherever You Are - a fast, club anthem with shows emotion at the same time. Such a combination is usually unachieveable, but as Kesha is the writer and singer, this song is nailed to perfection.-Dirty Love - rock with Iggy Pop! A lovely duet! Need I say more? I love his contribution to another great one: dancy rock song Only Wanna Dance With You.-Gold Trans Am - this is pure rock with lead guitars storming through the song. Kesha's voice is powerful and suits the rock genre very well. This song also has the cheekiest lyrics..."my golden carpet" and "burning rubber on the southern highway"...genius.-Supernatural - about sex with a ghost, apparently. This is quirky, out of this world and very difficult to describe. I guess, unique and 2012 DJ pop sums it up nicely.-Thinking of You - catchy and heartfelt. The best ballad on this album so far and not depressing either. Some artists kill ballads and leave me feeling depressed, but Kesha's uplifts me and this song is something we all can relate to.***So, as you can see, this is an uplifting and diverse album which you should definitely buy. It was very difficult to label favourites because there are NO FILLERS. Kesha spent years working on this and it shows. Even if you aren't a fan, the quality of this album is infallible.Finally, Kesha's voice shines through as well, which only occurred during rare moments in Animal and Cannibal. Auto-tune and technical things are used to create a pop sound here, but it is clear Kesha has a great voice and we finally hear more of that this time round.Well done Kesha!!!

KILLER ALBUM. Can't wait for her 3rd Album.
I only purchased this Album this week and I'm absolutely CHUFFED to bits that I ordered it because I'm a huge Kesha fan so I thought I'd see if the full album was worth the listen and My GOD it was each song has a different sound but has an electric, pop rock theme throughout the Album. My favourite songs from Amazing Album are.1) Thinking of You.2)Only Wanna Dance With You.3) All That Matters.4) Die Young.5)Wonderland.6)Wherever you Are.7)Cmon.8)Warrior.These are the stand out tracks in my opinion. I wish she done a video for 'Wonderland' though I think it would've been a magical video with alot of Rainbows, Flowers and Magic.Can't wait for her 3rd Album.I think she should name it 'I'm Free'After what she's been through these past couple of weeks.

Surprisingly .... GOOD!
This album is for fans of pop music... put simply. If you're into the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, then you will like this.I was intending to just purchase a couple of her songs I liked but for £4.99 to get the whole 16 song album, it made more sense to purchase the whole thing. I wasn't disappointed as most of the songs are great and/or decent.A lot of songs are up-tempo and have the feel good factor - and ones I can see the girls (and guys) dance to before a night out.Her voice can sometimes get a little irritating - like a cat in pain, over synthesised, and I couldn't help thinking some of the songs may have been better if they were sung by another artist.Having said that, I appreciate Ke$ha... she's bonkers.Great album for simple pop music fans.

Kesh-tastic!!!!
These are the exact words of my 5 year old daughter (and before anyone says what a 5 year old listening to Kesha, it is played in my company of which I sing over any words that have swear words very loudly)."We love Kesha's album so much! We can't stop literally playing with it on and on and on"She is correct lol. The songs are catchy, in particular a song called "Crazy People" and what really surprised us is that she can actually sing! She has slowed down on a couple of songs and we liked them. Definitely worth the price...even if you are not the hugest of Kesha's fans, the songs are singalongable and as said catchy...I defy you not to be humming them. Got her recent two smashes, Die Young and Com'on on there. Go buy....but yes caution, there are a few swear words on there.

AMAZING!!!
Every song is AMAZING. There are literally no fillers. It's just a shame that Last Goodbye and Gold Trans Am are on the deluxe and not the standard because they are stronger than some tracks on the standard. But overall, 5* comeback for Kesha. You will NOT be let down by buying this album. Best album of 2012 and she has also hardly used any auto tune on the songs in this album to prove to the haters that she CAN sing so I think a lot more people will get into her music better now even though I love the songs on Animal and Cannibal.BUY IT!!!!

I love this album!!
After listening to my Animal vs Cannibal album for ages I finally found the release date for warrior and pre-ordered it. I got it the day before the release date which I was pleased about and then popped it in to have a listen. I have hardly listened to anything else since. I loved Ke$ha's music before and I still do now. I love the way that alot of her songs are based on her experiences and are very funny.

Very good shape

secondo album
Il secondo album di Kesha versione deluxe contiene 12 + 4 canzoni, per una durata di circa 1 ora.Presenti le hit, ma qualitativamente a mio parere è inferiore al primo album anche se è tutto orecchiabile dall'inizio alla fine (cambio disco compreso).

結局のところ、この人のCDはこれしか買わなかった。

Ke$ha..."Warrior"... 2012 Kemosabe Records/RCA Records
It took me a little over a year to buy this CLEAN-Deluxe Edition CD, by Ke$ha. I finally bought it from Amazon on February 27, 2014 & I rec'd it on March 3, 2014. I would like to offer my opinions of her LATEST release, as follows:1. "Warrior"...This IS the TITLE track & it's my LEAST favorite on this CD. The only part of the song, that I DO like is the "WARRIOR" chorus.2. "Die Young"...The very FIRST hit single, from this album, which debuted in mid October 2012, on the TOP 40 Countdown. This song is pretty good & I do like it.3. "C'Mon"...This is the SECOND hit single, from this album, which debuted in January 2013, on the TOP 40 Countdown. This song is VERY good & I like it a little better than "Die Young". As of March 2013, THIS song was in the TOP 10, on the Top 40 Countdown.4. "Thinking Of You"...This song is pretty good & I like it.5. "Crazy Kids"...This is the THIRD hit from this album, which I remember, somewhat, from Summer of 2013. This song is a little more haunting & it's pretty good. I esp. like the "We Are, We Are" chorus & the whistling parts on this song.6. "Wherever You Are"...I like this song, it's pretty good.7. "Dirty Love"...This song feat. Iggy Pop & it's pretty good.8. "Wonderland"...This song has a much slower beat & it sounds rather countryesque. I LOVE this song, very much, which deals a lot w/ looking back in time.9. "Only Wanna Dance With You"...This song is good. There IS a male vocalist w/ Ke$ha on this song & I wonder if it's Iggy Pop again...though the CD liner notes DON'T mention WHO it is!!10. "Supernatural"...I like this song very much. I think that it's very good.11. "All That Matters (The Beautiful Life)"...I like this song a lot w/ it's positive & fun lyrics.12. "Love Into The Light"...Though this song is a lot slower, I really think it's EXCELLENT. It's very haunting & atmospheric & it could remind me of a SLOW TRANCE song. I love this song very very much.Deluxe Edition Tracks13. "Last Goodbye"...By reading THIS song title, I had thought that it would be a tear jerker parting type of song, but actually it's not. It deals w/ memories of a past love. I like this song quite well.14. "Gold Trans Am"...Drumbeat wise, this song could remind me of the Katy Perry/Kanye West 2011 hit single "E.T.". The song also reminds me of Ke$ha's OWN 2010 brief hit "Sleazy", somewhat. It could even remind me of some of Kiss' music, esp., from their 1982 album called "Creatures Of The Night". I like this song.15. "Out Alive"...I really LOVE this song, it's just plain EXCELLENT, in my opinion. It definitely has a DANCE CLUB feel to it. I'm rather surprised that this song DIDN'T appear on the American Top 40 Countdown, as it does, or DID, have that HIT Song potential.16. "Past Lives"...The male background vocalist feat. here is Wayne Coyne. I love this song a lot, too. It's quite interesting to listen to. I'm actually surprised that this ISN'T called "Time after Time", BECAUSE it is mentioned A LOT more than the TITLE of "Past Lives" is.With the exception of "CMon" & "Out Alive" being my TOP favorite CATCHY songs, I also LOVE her SLOWER songs, such as "Wonderland", "Love Into The Light" & "Past Lives", just as much. This 2012 album CD, by Ke$ha, is most definitely recommended. I've already listened to THIS album quite a lot, so far!!
